When setting up permissions on kernel memory at boot, the end of the
PMD that was split from bss remained executable. It should be NX like
the rest. This performs a PMD alignment instead of a PAGE alignment to
get the correct span of memory.
Before:
---[ High Kernel Mapping ]---
...
0xffffffff8202d000-0xffffffff82200000 1868K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82200000-0xffffffff82c00000 10M RW PSE GLB NX pmd
0xffffffff82c00000-0xffffffff82df5000 2004K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82df5000-0xffffffff82e00000 44K RW GLB x pte
0xffffffff82e00000-0xffffffffc0000000 978M pmd
After:
---[ High Kernel Mapping ]---
...
0xffffffff8202d000-0xffffffff82200000 1868K RW GLB NX pte
0xffffffff82200000-0xffffffff82e00000 12M RW PSE GLB NX pmd
0xffffffff82e00000-0xffffffffc0000000 978M pmd
[ tglx: Changed it to roundup(_brk_end, PMD_SIZE) and added a comment.
We really should unmap the reminder along with the holes
caused by init,initdata etc. but thats a different issue ]
