Subject: [PATCH v4 0/9] Support strict kernel memory permissions for security

The main purpose of this patch series is changing the kernel mapping permission
, make sure that code is not writeable, data is not executable, and read-only
data is neither writable nor executable.

This patch series also supports the relevant implementations such as
ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY, ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP,
ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and DEBUG_WX.

Changes in v4:
 - Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL instead of __kprobe annotation
 - Use text_mutex instead of patch_lock
 - Remove 'riscv_' prefix of function name

Changes in v3:
 - Fix build error on nommu configuration. We already support nommu on
   RISC-V, so we should consider nommu case and test not only rv32/64,
   but also nommu.

Changes in v2:
 - Use _data to specify the start of data section with write permission.
 - Change ftrace patch text implementaion.
 - Separate DEBUG_WX patch to another patchset.

Zong Li (9):
  riscv: add macro to get instruction length
  riscv: introduce interfaces to patch kernel code
  riscv: patch code by fixmap mapping
  riscv: add ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY support
  riscv: add ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP support
  riscv: add ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC support
  riscv: move exception table immediately after RO_DATA
  riscv: add alignment for text, rodata and data sections
  riscv: add STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support
