Subject: [PATCH v7 4/7] powerpc: Set ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
To enable strict module RWX on powerpc, set:
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y
You should also have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y set to have any real
security benefit.
ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set to require ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
This is due to a quirk in arch/Kconfig and arch/powerpc/Kconfig that
makes STRICT_MODULE_RWX *on by default* in configurations where
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is *unavailable*.
Since this doesn't make much sense, and module RWX without kernel RWX
doesn't make much sense, having the same dependencies as kernel RWX
works around this problem.
