powerpc: Select ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC on book3s/32 and 8xx
JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-27743 This patch is a backport of the following upstream commit: commit eeaec7801c421e17edda6e45a32d4a5596b633da Author: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Date: Wed Feb 23 13:02:16 2022 +0100 powerpc: Select ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC on book3s/32 and 8xx book3s/32 and 8xx have a separate area for allocating modules, defined by MODULES_VADDR / MODULES_END. On book3s/32, it is not possible to protect against execution on a page basis. A full 256M segment is either Exec or NoExec. The module area is in an Exec segment while vmalloc area is in a NoExec segment. In order to protect module data against execution, select ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC. For the 8xx (and possibly other 32 bits platform in the future), there is no such constraint on Exec/NoExec protection, however there is a critical distance between kernel functions and callers that needs to remain below 32Mbytes in order to avoid costly trampolines. By allocating data outside of module area, we increase the chance for module text to remain within acceptable distance from kernel core text. So select ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC for 8xx as well.
