[ Upstream commit fb28a8862dc4b5bf8e44578338f35d9c6c68339d ] The EXEC_RODATA test plays a lot of tricks to live in the .rodata section, and once again ran into objtool's (completely reasonable) assumptions that executable code should live in an executable section. However, this manifested only under CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, as one of the .cfi_sites was pointing into the .rodata section. Since we're testing non-CFI execution properties in perms.c (and rodata.c), we can disable CFI for the involved functions, and remove the CFI arguments from rodata.c entirely.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
