Kees Cook fb28a8862d lkdtm: Disable CFI checking for perms functions
The EXEC_RODATA test plays a lot of tricks to live in the .rodata section,
and once again ran into objtool's (completely reasonable) assumptions
that executable code should live in an executable section. However, this
manifested only under CONFIG_CFI_CLANG=y, as one of the .cfi_sites was
pointing into the .rodata section.

Since we're testing non-CFI execution properties in perms.c (and
rodata.c), we can disable CFI for the involved functions, and remove the
CFI arguments from rodata.c entirely.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
