This series aims at improving kernel permissions by doing following things.
1. Protect kernel sections early instead of after /init. 2. Protect .init.text & .init.data sections with appropriate permissions. 3. Move dynamic relocation section to _init. 4. Moved .init sections after .text. This is what most of the other archs are also doing.
After applying this patch, here are the linear mapped sections with non-uefi boot.

Changes from v2->v3: 1. Added few extra comments to clarify rodata permissions. 2. Changed the name of the functions set_memory_default to set_memory_rw_nx. 3. Squashed patch 3&5 together as they depend on each other to allow bisectability. 4. Removed redundant arguments in protect_kernel_text_data.
Changes from v1->v2: 1. .init.text section is aligned with SECTION_ALIGN. 2. .init.text is moved to below of .text so that .head.text & .text are in one section. 3. We don't need Guo's fix for static object issue. 4. Rebased on 5.10-rc1.
Atish Patra (5): RISC-V: Move __start_kernel to .head.text RISC-V: Initialize SBI early RISC-V: Align the .init.text section RISC-V: Protect all kernel sections including init early RISC-V: Move dynamic relocation section under __init
