The HYP rodata section is currently lumped together with the BSS, which isn't exactly what is expected (it gets registered with kmemleak, for example).
Move it away so that it is actually marked RO. As an added benefit, it isn't registered with kmemleak anymore.

2d7bf218ca73 ("KVM: arm64: Add .hyp.data..ro_after_init ELF section") states explicitly that the hyp ro_after_init section should remain RW in the host as it is expected to modify it before initializing EL2. But I can't seem to trigger anything with this patch applied, so I'll look into this a bit more.

Not sure this is the patch to blame?

The switch to RO happens quite late. And if the host was to actually try and change things there, it would be screwed anyway (we will have already removed the pages from its S2).
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a consequence of the way we now build the HYP object, and the comment in the original commit may not be valid anymore.

My bad, this is plain wrong. I'm not sure it can be applied earlier though if my rambling above is correct.
Thanks,

Yes, clearly mapping rodata RO in host happens much later than I thought, so this should indeed be fine.

Just had a quick look and that still seems valid, at least for some things (e.g. see how we set hyp_cpu_logical_map[] early from EL1 while it is clearly annotated as __ro_after_init in the EL2 code).

By the look of it going all the way back to 2d7bf218ca73 (in David's PSCI proxy series) should actually be correct. But not sure if that's really going to make a difference before the patch you've mentioned above as the kmemleak issue will only be visible once we have a host stage-2, so no big deal.
Thanks, Quentin
