Zong Li 375d315cbf mm: add DEBUG_WX support
Patch series "Extract DEBUG_WX to shared use".

Some architectures support DEBUG_WX function, it's verbatim from each
others, so extract to mm/Kconfig.debug for shared use.

PPC and ARM ports don't support generic page dumper yet, so we only
refine x86 and arm64 port in this patch series.

For RISC-V port, the DEBUG_WX support depends on other patches which
be merged already:
  - RISC-V page table dumper
  - Support strict kernel memory permissions for security

This patch (of 4):

Some architectures support DEBUG_WX function, it's verbatim from each
others.  Extract to mm/Kconfig.debug for shared use.

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.
