[ Upstream commit38f054d549] Some arches (e.g., arm64, x86) have moved towards non-executable module_alloc() allocations for security hardening reasons. That means that the module loader will need to set the text section of a module to executable, regardless of whether or not CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set. When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y, module section allocations are always page-aligned to handle memory rwx permissions. On some arches with CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n however, when setting the module text to executable, the BUG_ON() in frob_text() gets triggered since module section allocations are not page-aligned when CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=n. Since the set_memory_* API works with pages, and since we need to call set_memory_x() regardless of whether CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set, we might as well page-align all module section allocations for ease of managing rwx permissions of module sections (text, rodata, etc).

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.
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.
