      x86/mm: Set NX on gap between __ex_table and rodata · e64460b9
      Stephen Smalley authored
      commit ab76f7b4 upstream.
      
      Unused space between the end of __ex_table and the start of
      rodata can be left W+x in the kernel page tables.  Extend the
      setting of the NX bit to cover this gap by starting from
      text_end rather than rodata_start.

      x86/platform: Fix Geode LX timekeeping in the generic x86 build · 007b921d
      David Woodhouse authored
      commit 03da3ff1 upstream.
      
      In 2007, commit 07190a08 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable")
      bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code
      (now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in
      arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was
      set.
      
      OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target
      for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional
      platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices,
      because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable:
      https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531
      
      By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include
      the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus
      fixing the problem.
