[ Upstream commit8659a0e0ef] Several strange crashes have been eventually traced back to STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and its interaction with code patching. Various paths in our ftrace, kprobes and other patching code need to be hardened against patching failures, otherwise we can end up running with partially/incorrectly patched ftrace paths, kprobes or jump labels, which can then cause strange crashes. Although fixes for those are in development, they're not -rc material. There also seem to be problems with the underlying strict RWX logic, which needs further debugging. So for now disable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on 64-bit to prevent people from enabling the option and tripping over the bugs.

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 Restructured Text 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.
