Browse Source 
Extract DEBUG_WX to mm/Kconfig.debug for shared use.  Change to use
ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_WX instead of DEBUG_WX defined by arch port.

issues with the mapping of the EFI runtime regions into that

config DEBUG_WX
bool "Warn on W+X mappings at boot"
select PTDUMP_CORE
---help---
Generate a warning if any W+X mappings are found at boot.
This is useful for discovering cases where the kernel is leaving
W+X mappings after applying NX, as such mappings are a security risk.
Look for a message in dmesg output like this:
x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: passed, no W+X pages found.
or like this, if the check failed:
x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, <N> W+X pages found.
Note that even if the check fails, your kernel is possibly
still fine, as W+X mappings are not a security hole in
themselves, what they do is that they make the exploitation
of other unfixed kernel bugs easier.
There is no runtime or memory usage effect of this option
once the kernel has booted up - it's a one time check.
If in doubt, say "Y".
