The Radix linear mapping code (create_physical_mapping()) tries to use the largest page size it can at each step. Currently the only reason it steps down to a smaller page size is if the start addr is unaligned (never happens in practice), or the end of memory is not aligned to a huge page boundary. To support STRICT_RWX we need to break the mapping at __init_begin, so that the text and rodata prior to that can be marked R_X and the regular pages after can be marked RW. Having done that we can now implement mark_rodata_ro() for Radix, knowing that we won't need to split any mappings.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
