    mm/init: Add 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to disable read-only kernel mappings · d2aa1aca
    Kees Cook 提交于
    It may be useful to debug writes to the readonly sections of memory,
    so provide a cmdline "rodata=off" to allow for this. This can be
    expanded in the future to support "log" and "write" modes, but that
    will need to be architecture-specific.
    
    This also makes KDB software breakpoints more usable, as read-only
    mappings can now be disabled on any kernel.
