I know there is a new thread now with a different approach but I wanted
to say that this did fix that warning on the BeagleV Starlight beta
prototype board [1] with the StarFive JH7100 SoC [2]. I am using Emil's
starlight branch [3] which is a set of StarFive patches on top of
5.13-rc2. Emil included this W+X mapping patch [4]. It does fix the
warning on boot for me and the bootlog [5] shows:
[ 2.302598] Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found
Thus if useful, here is my TB:
