The sequence of marking text and rodata read-only in 32bit init is: set_ro(text); kernel_set_to_readonly = 1; set_ro(rodata); When kernel_set_to_readonly is 1 it enables the protection mechanism in CPA for the read only regions. With the upcoming checks for existing mappings this consequently triggers the warning about an existing mapping being incorrect vs. static protections because rodata has not been converted yet. There is no technical reason to split the two, so just combine the RO protection to convert text and rodata in one go. Convert the printks to pr_info while at it.
