…_RWX

When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not set, execmem cannot create
temporary writable mappings for read-only executable pages. In this
case, the execmem ranges must already have writable permissions.

Currently EXECMEM_KPROBES unconditionally uses PAGE_KERNEL_READ_EXEC,
which causes kprobe instruction slot writes to trigger page faults
on systems where CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not enabled.

Fix this by using PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC when CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
is not available.

patch_map() always creates a temporary writable mapping via fixmap for
kernel text addresses, even when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is disabled
and the kernel text is already mapped with _PAGE_WRITE.

This is unnecessary overhead at best, and on minimal configurations
it can cause page faults.

Skip the fixmap path for kernel text when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
is not enabled, since the text pages are already writable in that case.
The module text path is already gated on CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX and
is kept unchanged.

Signed loads from arena memory are currently rejected on riscv64, as
bpf_jit_supports_insn() refuses BPF_MEMSX loads when in_arena is set,
while x86 and arm64 gained support for them in v6.18. Compilers such
as GCC-14 are free to generate signed loads into arena memory, which
breaks loading of otherwise valid BPF programs on riscv64.

Implement BPF_PROBE_MEM32SX support in the RV64 JIT by reusing the
existing arena handling: the arena base (RV_REG_ARENA) is added to
the source register and the load is emitted with sign extension
(lb/lh/lw). Add BPF_PROBE_MEM32SX to the add_exception_handler()
mode gate so that faulting loads get an exception table entry which
clears the destination register and resumes execution. Since
BPF_PROBE_MEM32SX shares its mode value (0xc0) with BPF_ATOMIC, the
gate accepts it only for LDX class instructions so that plain atomic
instructions do not register exception table entries.

Verified by running the arena LDSX selftests (arena_ldsx_disasm,
arena_ldsx_exception, arena_ldsx_s8/s16/s32) and the full
arena_atomics test suite on riscv64 QEMU, all passing.

Now that the riscv64 JIT supports signed arena loads
(BPF_PROBE_MEM32SX), enable the arena LDSX tests on riscv64:
add JIT disassembly assertions for arena_ldsx_disasm (arena base in
s7, add into t2, sign-extending lw/lh/lb loads) and run
arena_ldsx_exception and arena_ldsx_s8/s16/s32 on riscv64.
