powerpc/64s/radix: Fix RWX mapping with relocated kernel
If a relocatable kernel is loaded at a non-zero address and told not to relocate to zero (kdump or RELOCATABLE_TEST), the mapping of the interrupt code at zero is left with RWX permissions. That is a security weakness, and leads to a warning at boot if CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is enabled: powerpc/mm: Found insecure W+X mapping at address 00000000056435bc/0xc000000000000000 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at arch/powerpc/mm/ptdump/ptdump.c:193 note_page+0x484/0x4c0 CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.2.0-rc1-00001-g8ae8e98aea82-dirty #175 Hardware name: IBM pSeries (emulated by qemu) POWER9 (raw) 0x4e1202 0xf000005 of:SLOF,git-dd0dca hv:linux,kvm pSeries NIP: c0000000004a1c34 LR: c0000000004a1c30 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c000000003503770 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (6.2.0-rc1-00001-g8ae8e98aea82-dirty) MSR: 8000000002029033 <SF,VEC,EE,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 24000220 XER: 00000000 CFAR: c000000000545a58 IRQMASK: 0 ...

Firstly the pages from zero up to the end of interrupts need to be marked read-only, so that they are left with R-X permissions. Secondly the mapping logic needs to be taught to ensure there is a page boundary at the end of the interrupt region, so that the permission change only applies to the interrupt text, and not the region following it.
