Dynamic relocation section are only required during boot. Those sections
can be freed after init. Thus, it can be moved to __init section.

<title>RISC-V: Protect all kernel sections including init early</title>

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.

<title>RISC-V: Align the .init.text section</title>

<id>b6566dc1acca38ce6ed845ce8a270fb181ff6d41</id>
<content type='text'>
In order to improve kernel text protection, we need separate .init.text/
.init.data/.text in separate sections. However, RISC-V linker relaxation
code is not aware of any alignment between sections. As a result, it may
relax any RISCV_CALL relocations between sections to JAL without realizing
that an inter section alignment may move the address farther. That may
lead to a relocation truncated fit error. However, linker relaxation code
is aware of the individual section alignments.

The detailed discussion on this issue can be found here.
https://github.com/riscv/riscv-gnu-toolchain/issues/738

Keep the .init.text section aligned so that linker relaxation will take
that as a hint while relaxing inter section calls.
Here are the code size changes for each section because of this change.

section         change in size (in bytes)
  .head.text      +4
  .text           +40
  .init.text      +6530
  .exit.text      +84

The only significant increase in size happened for .init.text because
all intra relocations also use 2MB alignment.

6184358da000 ("riscv: Fixup static_obj() fail") attempted to elide a lockdep
failure by rearranging our kernel image to place all initdata within [_stext,
_end], thus triggering lockdep to treat these as static objects.  These objects
are released and eventually reallocated, causing check_kernel_text_object() to
trigger a BUG().

This backs out the change to make [_stext, _end] all-encompassing, instead just
moving initdata.  This results in initdata being outside of [__init_begin,
__init_end], which means initdata can't be freed.

When enable LOCKDEP, static_obj() will cause error. Because some
__initdata static variables is before _stext:

static int static_obj(const void *obj)
{
        unsigned long start = (unsigned long) &amp;_stext,
                      end   = (unsigned long) &amp;_end,
                      addr  = (unsigned long) obj;

        /*
         * static variable?
         */
        if ((addr &gt;= start) &amp;&amp; (addr &lt; end))
                return 1;

<title>riscv: Allow device trees to be built into the kernel</title>

Some systems don't provide a useful device tree to the kernel on boot.
Chasing around bootloaders for these systems is a headache, so instead
le't's just keep a device tree table in the kernel, keyed by the SOC's
unique identifier, that contains the relevant DTB.

This is only implemented for M mode right now. While we could implement
this via the SBI calls that allow access to these identifiers, we don't
have any systems that need this right now.
