Once swapper_pg_dir is in the rodata section, it will not be possible to modify it directly, but we will need to modify it in some cases. To enable this, we can use the fixmap when deliberately modifying swapper_pg_dir. As the pgd is only transiently mapped, this provides some resilience against illicit modification of the pgd, e.g. for Kernel Space Mirror Attack (KSMA).

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
