powerpc/mm: Fix kernel RAM protection after freeing unused memory on …

…PPC32 As seen below, allthough the init sections have been freed, the associated memory area is still marked as executable in the page tables. ~ dmesg [ 5.860093] Freeing unused kernel memory: 592K (c0570000 - c0604000) ~ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kernel_page_tables ---[ Start of kernel VM ]--- 0xc0000000-0xc0497fff 4704K rw X present dirty accessed shared 0xc0498000-0xc056ffff 864K rw present dirty accessed shared 0xc0570000-0xc059ffff 192K rw X present dirty accessed shared 0xc05a0000-0xc7ffffff 125312K rw present dirty accessed shared ---[ vmalloc() Area ]--- This patch fixes that. The implementation is done by reusing the change_page_attr() function implemented for CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <[email protected]>
