<title>RISC-V: Fix out-of-bounds accesses in init_resources()</title>

init_resources() allocates an array of resources, based on the current
total number of memory regions and reserved memory regions.  However,
allocating this array using memblock_alloc() might increase the number
of reserved memory regions.  If that happens, populating the array later
based on the new number of regions will cause out-of-bounds writes
beyond the end of the allocated array.

Fix this by allocating one more entry, which may or may not be used.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "A handful of new RISC-V related patches for this merge window:

   - A check to ensure drivers are properly using uaccess. This isn't
     manifesting with any of the drivers I'm currently using, but may
     catch errors in new drivers.

   - Some preliminary support for the FU740, along with the HiFive
     Unleashed it will appear on.

   - NUMA support for RISC-V, which involves making the arm64 code
     generic.

   - Support for kasan on the vmalloc region.

   - A handful of new drivers for the Kendryte K210, along with the DT
     plumbing required to boot on a handful of K210-based boards.

   - Support for allocating ASIDs.

   - Preliminary support for kernels larger than 128MiB.

   - Various other improvements to our KASAN support, including the
     utilization of huge pages when allocating the KASAN regions.

  We may have already found a bug with the KASAN_VMALLOC code, but it's
  passing my tests. There's a fix in the works, but that will probably
  miss the merge window.

.init section permission should only updated to non-execute if

Currently, resource tree allocates memory blocks while iterating on the
list. It leads to following kernel warning because memblock allocation
also invokes memory block reservation API.

This is also unnecessary as we can pre-compute the total memblocks required
for each memory region and allocate it before the loop. It save precious
boot time not going through memblock allocation code every time.

Currently, we perform some memory init functions in paging init. But,
that will be an issue for NUMA support where DT needs to be flattened
before numa initialization and memblock_present can only be called
after numa initialization.

Move memory initialization related functions to a separate function.

Pull RISC-V updates from Palmer Dabbelt:
 "We have a handful of new kernel features for 5.11:

   - Support for the contiguous memory allocator.

   - Support for IRQ Time Accounting

   - Support for stack tracing

   - Support for strict /dev/mem

   - Support for kernel section protection

  I'm being a bit conservative on the cutoff for this round due to the
  timing, so this is all the new development I'm going to take for this
  cycle (even if some of it probably normally would have been OK). There
  are, however, some fixes on the list that I will likely be sending
  along either later this week or early next week.

  There is one issue in here: one of my test configurations
  (PREEMPT{,_DEBUG}=y) fails to boot on QEMU 5.0.0 (from April) as of
  the .text.init alignment patch.

  With any luck we'll sort out the issue, but given how many bugs get
  fixed all over the place and how unrelated those features seem my
  guess is that we're just running into something that's been lurking
  for a while and has already been fixed in the newer QEMU (though I
  wouldn't be surprised if it's one of these implicit assumptions we
  have in the boot flow). If it was hardware I'd be strongly inclined to
  look more closely, but given that users can upgrade their simulators
  I'm less worried about it"

Currently, .init.text &amp; .init.data are intermixed which makes it impossible
apply different permissions to them. .init.data shouldn't need exec
permissions while .init.text shouldn't have write permission. Moreover,
the strict permission are only enforced /init starts. This leaves the
kernel vulnerable from possible buggy built-in modules.

Keep .init.text &amp; .data in separate sections so that different permissions
are applied to each section. Apply permissions to individual sections as
early as possible. This improves the kernel protection under
CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX. We also need to restore the permissions for the
entire _init section after it is freed so that those pages can be used
for other purpose.
