  • With CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL the kernel text segment that might be in a
    read only memory sections starts at 1MB. Memory between 0x12000 and
    0x100000 is unused then. Free this, so we have appr. an extra MB
    of memory available.

  • Set read-only flag in the page table entries for the kernel image text
    section. This will catch all instruction caused corruptions withing the
    text section.
    Instruction replacement via kprobes still works, since it bypasses now
    dynamic address translation.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
