Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] powerpc: Enable STRICT_MODULE_RWX
Whether STRICT_MODULE_RWX is enabled by default depends on powerpc
platform - in arch/Kconfig, STRICT_MODULE_RWX depends on
ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX, which in arch/powerpc/Kconfig is selected if
ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is selected, which is only true with
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE *disabled*.
defconfigs like skiroot_defconfig which turn STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on when
it is not already on by default also do NOT enable STRICT_MODULE_RWX
automatically, so it is explicitly enabled there in this patch.
Thus, on by default for ppc32 only. Module RWX doesn't provide a whole
lot of value with Kernel RWX off, but it doesn't hurt, either. The next
step is to make STRICT_KERNEL_RWX compatible with RELOCATABLE so it can
be on by default.
