This looks good; my naming comments from the DEBUG_RODATA also apply here -- the proposed name is fine. > diff --git a/arch/arm64/Kconfig b/arch/arm64/Kconfig > index 06fed56..2fe0e98 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/Kconfig > +++ b/arch/arm64/Kconfig > @@ -12,6 +12,7 @@ config ARM64 > select ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL > select ARCH_HAS_GIGANTIC_PAGE > select ARCH_HAS_HARDENED_MAPPINGS > + select ARCH_HAS_HARDENED_MODULE_MAPPINGS > select ARCH_HAS_KCOV > select ARCH_HAS_SG_CHAIN > select ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST if GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST > diff --git a/arch/arm64/Kconfig.debug b/arch/arm64/Kconfig.debug > index a26d27f..1eebe1f 100644 > --- a/arch/arm64/Kconfig.debug > +++ b/arch/arm64/Kconfig.debug > @@ -71,17 +71,6 @@ config DEBUG_WX > > If in doubt, say "Y". > > -config DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX > - bool "Set loadable kernel module data as NX and text as RO" > - depends on MODULES > - default y > - help > - Is this is set, kernel module text and rodata will be made read-only. > - This is to help catch accidental or malicious attempts to change the > - kernel's executable code. > - > - If in doubt, say Y. > - > +config ARCH_HAS_HARDENED_MODULE_MAPPINGS > + def_bool n > + > +config HARDENED_MODULE_MAPPINGS > + bool "Mark module mappings with stricter permissions (RO/W^X)" > + default y > + depends on ARCH_HAS_HARDENED_MODULE_MAPPINGS > + help > + If this is set, module text and rodata memory will be made read-only, > + and non-text memory will be made non-executable.

Takahiro-san did a bit of work towards that in commit 39290b389ea2654f ("module: extend 'rodata=off' boot cmdline parameter to module mappings"). It would be good to know if there's any reason we can't do that. Otherwise, this looks fine.

Despite the word 'debug' in CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, this kernel option provides key security features that are to be expected on a modern system. Change the name to CONFIG_HARDENED_MODULE_MAPPINGS which more accurately describes what this option is intended to do.
