[PATCH v5 24/27] x86/mm: Make the x86 GOT read-only

From: Thomas Garnier <hidden>
Date: 2018-06-25 22:43:39
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: generic include/asm header files, the rest · Maintainers: Arnd Bergmann, Linus Torvalds

The GOT is changed during early boot when relocations are applied. Make
it read-only directly. This table exists only for PIE binary.

Position Independent Executable (PIE) support will allow to extend the
KASLR randomization range 0xffffffff80000000.
