#1335592 — [PATCH 1/2] ARM: mm: DEBUG_RODATA makes no sense with XIP_KERNEL

Subject[PATCH 1/2] ARM: mm: DEBUG_RODATA makes no sense with XIP_KERNEL
Message-ID<r2Qmm-1Is-13@gated-at.bofh.it>
When CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA is set, we get a link error:

arch/arm/mm/built-in.o:(.data+0x4bc): undefined reference to `__start_rodata_section_aligned'

However, this combination is useless, as XIP_KERNEL implies that all the
RODATA is already marked readonly, so both CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and
CONFIG_DEBUG_ALIGN_RODATA (which depends on the other) are not
needed with XIP_KERNEL, and this patches enforces that using a Kconfig
dependency.

Oh, hm, I didn't see this before sending my fix for the rodata start issue.

If we do this, we need to probably clean up the xip linker script to
remove all the references to DEBUG_*RODATA too.

For this and the 2/2 patch:

Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

I've sent follow-up to clean up the XIP linker script too, if you want
to take that as the 3rd patch in this series of fixes.

Arnd, when you send your 2 patches to the tracker, can you also send
mine (so the ordering is correct)?

Thanks!
