If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Stephen Smalley commit ab76f7b4ab2397ffdd2f1eb07c55697d19991d10 upstream. Unused space between the end of __ex_table and the start of rodata can be left W+x in the kernel page tables. Extend the setting of the NX bit to cover this gap by starting from text_end rather than rodata_start.
