Hi,

Recently built a v5.9-rc2 kernel, it boots fine, but unable to load any
kernel module.

After some debugging, it shows that it's due to RWX check failure:

  load_module: start
  module_enforce_rwx_sections: index=22 sh_flags=0x7 shf_wx=0x5
  layout_and_allocate: module enforce rwx sections
  load_module: failed to alloc layout and allocate
  load_module: end

Futhermore, it's unable to disable the RWX check through "make
menuconfig", since the ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX is no for arm64.

The offending section 22 looks like this: (the kernel reports 38
sectors, while we only have 37, thus near-by sections are also shown here).

 20 .data         00000aa0  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00086d08

                  CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA

I'm using GCC 10.2.0, could this be the cause?

Thanks,
