For CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX align __init_begin to 16M. We use 16M since its the larger of 2M on radix and 16M on hash for our linear mapping. The plan is to have .text, .rodata and everything upto __init_begin marked as RX. Note we still have executable read only data. We could further align rodata to another 16M boundary. I've used keeping text plus rodata as read-only-executable as a trade-off to doing read-only-executable for text and read-only for rodata. We don't use multi PT_LOAD in PHDRS because we are not sure if all bootloaders support them. This patch keeps PHDRS in vmlinux.lds.S as the same they are with just one PT_LOAD for all of the kernel marked as RWX (7). mpe: What this means is the added alignment bloats the resulting binary on disk, a powernv kernel goes from 17M to 22M.

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.
