It's no different from the more usual: bool "Make kernel text and rodata read-only" if ARCH_NO_STRICT_RWX_DEFAULTS default y if !ARCH_NO_STRICT_RWX_DEFAULTS depends on ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX But... I really don't like this - way too many negations and negatives which make it difficult to figure out what's going on here. The situation we have today is: -config DEBUG_RODATA - bool "Make kernel text and rodata read-only" - depends on MMU && !XIP_KERNEL - default y if CPU_V7 which is "allow the user to select DEBUG_RODATA if building a MMU non-XIP kernel", suggesting that the user turns it on for ARMv7 CPUs. That changes with this and the above: + select ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX if MMU && !XIP_KERNEL + select ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX if MMU + select ARCH_NO_STRICT_RWX_DEFAULTS if !CPU_V7 This means that ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is set for a MMU non-XIP kernel, which carries the same pre-condition for DEBUG_RODATA - no problem there. However, ARCH_NO_STRICT_RWX_DEFAULTS is set for non-ARMv7 CPUs, which means the "Make kernel text and rodata read-only" prompt _is_ provided for those. However, for all ARMv7 systems, we go from "suggesting that the user enables the option" to "you don't have a choice, you get this whether you want it or not." I'd prefer to keep it off for my development systems, where I don't care about kernel security. If we don't wish to do that as a general rule, can we make it dependent on EMBEDDED? Given that on ARM it can add up to 4MB to the kernel image - there _will_ be about 1MB before the .text section, the padding on between __modver and __ex_table which for me is around 626k, the padding between .notes and the init sections start with .vectors (the space between __ex_table and end of .notes is only 4124, which gets padded up to 1MB) and lastly the padding between the .init section and the data section (for me around 593k). This all adds up to an increase in kernel image size of 3.2MB on 14.2MB - an increase of 22%. So no, I'm really not happy with that.

We have three cases: unsupported, mandatory, optional, but we have the case of setting the default for the optional case. Maybe something like this? config STRICT_KERNEL_RWX bool "Make kernel text and rodata read-only" if ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX depends on ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX default ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX_DEFAULT unsupported: !ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX mandatory: ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX !ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX optional: ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX with default controlled by ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX_DEFAULT Then arm is: select ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX if MMU && !XIP_KERNEL select ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX if MMU select ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX if ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX select ARCH_OPTIONAL_KERNEL_RWX_DEFAULT if CPU_V7 x86 and arm64 are: select ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX select ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX ? -Kees

In passing, I noticed that, on ARM: 3 .rodata 002212b4 c0703000 c0703000 00703000 2**6 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA a lack of READONLY there - which suggests something in this lot isn't actually read-only data: .rodata : AT(ADDR(.rodata) - LOAD_OFFSET) { \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__start_rodata) = .; \ *(.rodata) *(.rodata.*) \ RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA /* Read only after init */ \ KEEP(*(__vermagic)) /* Kernel version magic */ \ . = ALIGN(8); \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__start___tracepoints_ptrs) = .; \ KEEP(*(__tracepoints_ptrs)) /* Tracepoints: pointer array */ \ VMLINUX_SYMBOL(__stop___tracepoints_ptrs) = .; \ *(__tracepoints_strings)/* Tracepoints: strings */ \ } \ I suspect it's the RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA section - maybe this should be placed into its own separate output section? I don't think it's doing any harm, it's just odd that the .rodata section is marked as a normal data section.

Since the kernel does the permissions settings, this has been fine. If we can force the linker flags on it, I'm all for it, but every time I've tried, it has defeated me. :) -Kees

I wanted it to be mandatory to avoid the mindset of "optional means we don't need it" but I see there are some cases where it's better to turn it off.

If you want something almost-always-on, it should not waste megabytes of memory. And BTW it is help text, not advertising for your favourite feature. Pavel
