Subject: [PATCH] arm64: mm: mark tramp_pg_dir read-only
To protect against KSMA(Kernel Space Mirroring Attack), make
tramp_pg_dir read-only. The principle of KSMA is to insert a
carefully constructed PGD entry into the translation table.
The type of this entry is block, which maps the kernel text
and its access permissions bits are 01. The user process can
then modify kernel text directly through this mapping. In this
way, an arbitrary write can be converted to multiple arbitrary
writes.
