Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] arm64: mm: apply r/o permissions of VM areas to its linear alias as well
On arm64, we use block mappings and contiguous hints to map the linear
region, to minimize the TLB footprint. However, this means that the
entire region is mapped using read/write permissions, which we cannot
modify at page granularity without having to take intrusive measures to
prevent TLB conflicts.
This means the linear aliases of pages belonging to read-only mappings
(executable or otherwise) in the vmalloc region are also mapped read/write,
and could potentially be abused to modify things like module code, bpf JIT
code or other read-only data.
So let's fix this, by extending the set_memory_ro/rw routines to take
the linear alias into account. The consequence of enabling this is
that we can no longer use block mappings or contiguous hints, so in
cases where the TLB footprint of the linear region is a bottleneck,
performance may be affected.
Therefore, allow this feature to be runtime en/disabled, by setting
rodata=full (or 'on' to disable just this enhancement, or 'off' to
disable read-only mappings for code and r/o data entirely) on the
kernel command line. Also, allow the default value to be set via a
Kconfig option.

+ Apply read-only attributes of VM areas to the linear alias of
+ the backing pages as well. This prevents code or read-only data
+ from being modified (inadvertently or intentionally) via another
+ mapping of the same memory page. This additional enhancement can
+ be turned off at runtime by passing rodata=[off|on] (and turned on
+ with rodata=full if this option is set to 'n')
+
+ This requires the linear region to be mapped down to pages,
+ which may adversely affect performance in some cases.
