Revert "arm64: mm: set the contiguous bit for kernel mappings where appropriate"
This reverts commit0bfc445dec
. When we change the permissions of regions mapped using contiguous entries, the architecture requires us to follow a Break-Before-Make strategy, breaking *all* associated entries before we can change any of the following properties from the entries: - presence of the contiguous bit - output address - attributes - permissiones Failure to do so can result in a number of problems (e.g. TLB conflict aborts and/or erroneous results from TLB lookups). See ARM DDI 0487A.k_iss10775, "Misprogramming of the Contiguous bit", page D4-1762. We do not take this into account when altering the permissions of kernel segments in mark_rodata_ro(), where we change the permissions of live contiguous entires one-by-one, leaving them transiently inconsistent. This has been observed to result in failures on some fast model configurations. Unfortunately, we cannot follow Break-Before-Make here as we'd have to unmap kernel text and data used to perform the sequence. For the timebeing, revert commit0bfc445dec
so as to avoid issues resulting from this misuse of the contiguous bit.
