Subject: [PATCH v1 0/8] powerpc/32s: Allocate modules outside of vmalloc space for STRICT_KERNEL_RWX

On book3s32 (hash), exec protection is set per 256Mb segments with NX bit.
Instead of clearing NX bit on vmalloc space when CONFIG_MODULES is selected,
allocate modules in a dedicated segment (0xb0000000-0xbfffffff by default).
This allows to keep exec protection on vmalloc space while allowing exec
on modules.

Christophe Leroy (8):
  powerpc/ptdump: Refactor update of st->last_pa
  powerpc/ptdump: Refactor update of pg_state
  powerpc: Set user/kernel boundary at TASK_SIZE instead of PAGE_OFFSET
  powerpc/lib: Prepare code-patching for modules allocated outside
    vmalloc space
  powerpc: Use MODULES_VADDR if defined
  powerpc/32s: Only leave NX unset on segments used for modules
  powerpc/32s: Kernel space starts at TASK_SIZE
  powerpc/32s: Use dedicated segment for modules with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
