Bug description:
[Impact]
on ARM64 servers we observe call trace "arm64/mm: Found insecure W+X mapping
at address 0000000000a99000/0xa99000" while booting. These messages are a false
positive and triggered at random.
[Test]
There is no reliable way to reproduce these warnings, they are triggered at
random. But these messages can appear on any ARM64 server Cavium, Qualcomm etc.
A test kernel is available in
ppa:manjo/lp1769696 and the kernel was boot tested on a QDF2400 system and
Cavium Thunderx.
