From ab76f7b4ab2397ffdd2f1eb07c55697d19991d10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Smalley <sds@tycho.nsa.gov> Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2015 09:04:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mm: Set NX on gap between __ex_table and rodata Unused space between the end of __ex_table and the start of rodata can be left W+x in the kernel page tables. Extend the setting of the NX bit to cover this gap by starting from text_end rather than rodata_start.
