commit bc93a22a19eb2b68a16ecf04cdf4b2ed65aaf398 upstream.
On a kernel without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, running EXEC_RODATA
test leads to "Illegal instruction" failure.
Looking at the content of rodata_objcopy.o, we see that the
function content zeroes only:
Disassembly of section .rodata:
0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
0: 00 00 00 00 .long 0x0
Add the contents flag in order to keep the content of the section
while renaming it.
Disassembly of section .rodata:
0000000000000000 <.lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing>:
0: 4e 80 00 20 blr

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.
