Subject: [PATCH] mark protection_map as __ro_after_init
Date: Wed, 10 May 2017 13:44:41 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170510174441.26163-1-danielmicay@gmail.com> (raw)

The protection map is only modified by per-arch init code so it can be
protected from writes after the init code runs.

This change was extracted from PaX where it's part of KERNEXEC.
