Patch series "x86/module: use large ROX pages for text allocations", v7. These patches add support for using large ROX pages for allocations of executable memory on x86. They address Andy's comments [1] about having executable mappings for code that was not completely formed. The approach taken is to allocate ROX memory along with writable but not executable memory and use the writable copy to perform relocations and alternatives patching. After the module text gets into its final shape, the contents of the writable memory is copied into the actual ROX location using text poking. The allocations of the ROX memory use vmalloc(VMAP_ALLOW_HUGE_MAP) to allocate PMD aligned memory, fill that memory with invalid instructions and in the end remap it as ROX. Portions of these large pages are handed out to execmem_alloc() callers without any changes to the permissions. When the memory is freed with execmem_free() it is invalidated again so that it won't contain stale instructions. The module memory allocation, x86 code dealing with relocations and alternatives patching take into account the existence of the two copies, the writable memory and the ROX memory at the actual allocated virtual address. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/a17c65c6-863f-4026-9c6f-a04b659e9ab4@app.fastmail.com This patch (of 8): There are a couple of declarations that depend on CONFIG_MMU in include/linux/vmalloc.h spread all over the file. Group them all together to improve code readability. No functional changes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
