Christoph Hellwig 800e26b813 x86/hyperv: allocate the hypercall page with only read and execute bits ... Patch series "fix a hyperv W^X violation and remove vmalloc_exec" Dexuan reported a W^X violation due to the fact that the hyper hypercall page due switching it to be allocated using vmalloc_exec. The problem is that PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC as used by vmalloc_exec actually sets writable permissions in the pte. This series fixes the issue by switching to the low-level __vmalloc_node_range interface that allows specifing more detailed permissions instead. It then also open codes the other two callers and removes the somewhat confusing vmalloc_exec interface. Peter noted that the hyper hypercall page allocation also has another long standing issue in that it shouldn't use the full vmalloc but just the module space. This issue is so far theoretical as the allocation is done early in the boot process. I plan to fix it with another bigger series for 5.9. This patch (of 3): Avoid a W^X violation cause by the fact that PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC includes the writable bit. For this resurrect the removed PAGE_KERNEL_RX definition, but as PAGE_KERNEL_ROX to match arm64 and powerpc.
