Subject: [PATCH v6 3/5] powerpc/mm/ptdump: debugfs handler for W+X checks at runtime
Date: Tue, 24 Dec 2019 16:55:43 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191224055545.178462-4-ruscur@russell.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191224055545.178462-1-ruscur@russell.cc>

Very rudimentary, just

	echo 1 > [debugfs]/check_wx_pages

and check the kernel log.  Useful for testing strict module RWX.

Updated the Kconfig entry to reflect this.

Also fixed a typo.
