    lguest: Map switcher text R/O · e27d90e8
    Rusty Russell 提交于
    Pavel noted that lguest maps the switcher code executable and
    read-write.  This is a bad idea for any kernel text, but
    particularly for text mapped at a fixed address.
    
    Create two vmas, one for the text (PAGE_KERNEL_RX) and another
    for the stacks (PAGE_KERNEL).  Use VM_NO_GUARD to map them
    adjacent (as expected by the rest of the code).
