From 3b5be16c7e90a69c93349d210766250fffcb54bd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: He Zhe Date: Tue, 20 Aug 2019 22:53:10 +0800 Subject: modules: page-align module section allocations only for arches supporting strict module rwx We should keep the case of "#define debug_align(X) (X)" for all arches without CONFIG_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX ability, which would save people, who are sensitive to system size, a lot of memory when using modules, especially for embedded systems. This is also the intention of the original #ifdef... statement and still valid for now. Note that this still keeps the effect of the fix of the following commit, 38f054d549a8 ("modules: always page-align module section allocations"), since when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is enabled, module pages are aligned.
