arm64: vdso: Mark vDSO code as read-only
Although the arm64 vDSO is cleanly separated by code/data with the
code being read-only in userspace mappings, the code page is still
writable from the kernel. There have been exploits (such as
http://itszn.com/blog/?p=21) that take advantage of this on x86 to go
from a bad kernel write to full root.
Prevent this specific exploit on arm64 by putting the vDSO code page
in read-only memory as well.
Before the change:
