From: Christophe Leroy christophe.leroy@c-s.fr Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2020 05:37:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Fix STRICT_KERNEL_RWX startup test failure
WRITE_RO lkdtm test works.
But when selecting CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA_TEST, the kernel reports rodata_test: test data was not read only
This is because when rodata test runs, there are still old entries in TLB.
Flush TLB after setting kernel pages RO or NX.
