[ Upstream commit 3091f5fc5f1df7741ddf326561384e0997eca2a1 ] .opd section contains function descriptors used to locate functions in the kernel. If someone is able to modify a function descriptor he will be able to run arbitrary kernel function instead of another. To avoid that, move .opd section inside read-only memory.

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.
