Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2]get rid of writable linear aliases of read-only vmalloc mappings

This is a followup to my patch 'arm64/mm: unmap the linear alias of module
allocations'.

This version changes the approach to match what x86 does, i.e., to deal
with the linear alias at a more fundamental level, in the set_memory_ro/rw
routines.

Ard Biesheuvel (2):
  arm64: mm: purge lazily unmapped vm regions before changing
    permissions
  arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as
    well
