core: separate instructions from read-only data
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
CFG_CORE_RODATA_NOEXEC=y/n allows to map non-executable memory with
a not-executable attribute.

Added alignments that may waste secure memory:
- unpaged text/rodata bound
- init text/rodata bound

To prevent wasting at least one page, the sections text_paged and
rodata_paged are swapped in the memory layout.
