arm64: add better page protections to arm64
Add page protections for arm64 similar to those in arm.
This is for security reasons to prevent certain classes
of exploits. The current method:
- Map all memory as either RWX or RW. We round to the nearest
section to avoid creating page tables before everything is mapped
- Once everything is mapped, if either end of the RWX section should
not be X, we split the PMD and remap as necessary
- When initmem is to be freed, we change the permissions back to
RW (using stop machine if necessary to flush the TLB)
- If CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, the read only sections are set
read only.
