This patch set implements CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on Powerpc32
after fixing a few issues related to kernel code page protection.

Changes in v2:
  Instead of making the entire kernel RW to patch code in ftrace,
  we now only change the rights on the page to be modified

Christophe Leroy (3):
  powerpc/mm: Ensure change_page_attr() doesn't invalidate pinned TLBs
  powerpc/mm: Fix kernel RAM protection after freeing unused memory on
    PPC32
  powerpc/mm: Implement CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on PPC32
