[PATCH v5 0/7] Provide STRICT_KERNEL_RWX for powerpc

[Balbir Singh]

Provide STRICT_KERNEL_RWX for PPC64/BOOK3S

These patches enable RX mappings of kernel text.
rodata is mapped RX as well as a trade-off, there
are more details in the patch description

As a prerequisite for R/O text, patch_instruction
is moved over to using a separate mapping that
allows write to kernel text. xmon/ftrace/kprobes
have been moved over to work with patch_instruction

There is a bug fix, the updatepp and updateboltedpp
(pseries) providers, did not use flags as described in
PAPR (patch 3). I would like to see that patch marked
to stable, I've not added a Cc:stable myself.

Another build failure was reported, because instead
of using ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY as a gate for set_memory.h
inclusion, some of the infrastructure in the core kernel
uses CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX. I've sent a fix to the
fix the latter. It should be picked up by 4.13 at which
time we can remove the config dependency on !HIBERNATION
in arch/powerpc/Kconfig

This version received testing under CONFIG_RELOCATABLE_TEST.
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX does not work great with that config
and disables the feature when relocation is on and prints
a warning message. 

After these changes go in we can get the PPC32 varaint
for the same feature based on patches already posted
by Christophe.

Changelog v5:
	Drop patches accepted by Michael Ellerman
	The radix patch has been reworked to
	a. avoid splitting linear mapping when
	   CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is off
	b. Fix the psize used for the linear mapping
	There is also a bug fix to allow vector
	areas to remain executable.
Changelog v4:
	Multiple cleanups to patch_instruction() based on
	review comments from Michael Ellerman
	Changes to Kconfig to make the feature selectable
Changelog v3:
	Support radix
	Drop ptdump patch, already picked from v2
Changelog v2:
	Support optprobes via patch_instruction
