The kernel permissions are fixed after the kernel page table is created:
avoid that by mapping the kernel 'correctly' the first time.
Patch 1 introduces a new helper to set kernel mapping permissions while
avoiding all the casts when using set_memory_* API.
Patch 2 is the bulk of this work and deals with mapping the kernel with
the right permissions.
Changes in v7:
* Split long lines and reintroduce parameters names of set_kernel_memory
callback, as suggested by Christoph
* Make set_kernel_memory __always_inline as suggested by Christoph
* Change 64b spelling into 64-bit, as suggested by Christoph
Changes in v6:
* load_sz was placed in init section but is now used in kernel address
conversions macros, so remove this attribute.
Changes in v5:
* Remove non-relevant commits to this patchset that raised issues
* Make load_sz non-static as it is used in kernel address conversions
macros
* Rebased on top for-next
Changes in v4:
* Add patch 1 as noted by Jisheng
* Changes patch 2 title as suggested by Anup
* Add Reviewed-by from Anup
Changes in v3:
* Add a patch that factorizes kernel address conversions
* Add a helper called set_kernel_memory in its own patch, as suggested by
Christoph
* Prefer IS_ENABLED over #ifdef, as suggested by Christoph
* Split overly long lines, as suggested by Christoph
* Simplify kernel mapping by mapping ALL text as readonly and taking advantage
of already present code that enables write for init text before
free_initmem_default.
Changes in v2:
* Rebased on top of for-next (and "riscv: mm: fix build errors caused by
mk_pmd()")
* Get rid of protect_kernel_linear_mapping_text_rodata as suggested by
Jisheng
* Improve code in general compared to previous RFC

2.30.2
For 64-bit kernels, we map all the kernel with write and execute
permissions and afterwards remove writability from text and executability
from data.
For 32-bit kernels, the kernel mapping resides in the linear mapping, so we
map all the linear mapping as writable and executable and afterwards we
remove those properties for unused memory and kernel mapping as
described above.
Change this behavior to directly map the kernel with correct permissions
and avoid going through the whole mapping to fix the permissions.
At the same time, this fixes an issue introduced by commit 2bfc6cd81bd1
("riscv: Move kernel mapping outside of linear mapping") as reported
here https://github.com/starfive-tech/linux/issues/17.

Yes, __always_inline pretty much only makes sense as
"static __always_inline" anyway.
