Merge tag 'rodata-v4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux

Pull rodata updates from Kees Cook:
 "This renames the (now inaccurate) DEBUG_RODATA and related
  SET_MODULE_RONX configs to the more sensible STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and
  STRICT_MODULE_RWX"

* tag 'rodata-v4.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kees/linux:
  arch: Rename CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_DEBUG_MODULE_RONX
  arch: Move CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_SET_MODULE_RONX to be common
