[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 382/459] powerpc/ptdump: Only enable PPC_CHECK_WX with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2020-02-14 17:21:02
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Christophe Leroy <redacted>

[ Upstream commit f509247b08f2dcf7754d9ed85ad69a7972aa132b ]

ptdump_check_wx() is called from mark_rodata_ro() which only exists
when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is selected.
