From: Ard Biesheuvel <[email protected]> Move the fixmap page tables out of the BSS section, and place them at the end of the image, right before the init_pg_dir section where some of the other statically allocated page tables live.
These page tables are currently the only data objects in vmlinux that are meant to be accessed via the kernel image's linear alias, and so placing them together allows the remainder of the data/bss section to be remapped read-only or unmapped entirely.
