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

Zong Li (4):
  mm: add DEBUG_WX support
  riscv: support DEBUG_WX
  x86: mm: use ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX instead of arch defined
  arm64: mm: use ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX instead of arch defined

Support DEBUG_WX to check whether there are mapping with write and
execute permission at the same time.

It's preferred to implement things in regular C, unless they MUST be

"UXN" is the name of a bit in the arm64 page-table descriptors, so this
should be reworded now that it's in generic help text.

It's exactly. Sorry for missing the statement.

Hi Andrew,
Shall I send a next version patch to fix it? It should be "This is
useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving W+X mappings
after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk." here.
