* arm: use fixmap for text patching when text is RORabin Vincent2014-10-161-1/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use fixmaps for text patching when the kernel text is read-only, inspired by x86. This makes jump labels and kprobes work with the currently available CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and the upcoming CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA options. Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> [kees: fixed up for merge with "arm: use generic fixmap.h"] [kees: added parse acquire/release annotations to pass C=1 builds] [kees: always use stop_machine to keep TLB flushing local] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>
* ARM: 7332/1: extract out code patch function from kprobesRabin Vincent2012-03-241-0/+7
Extract out the code patching code from kprobes so that it can be used from the jump label code. Additionally, the separated code: - Uses the IS_ENABLED() macros instead of the #ifdefs for THUMB2 support - Unifies the two separate functions in kprobes, providing one function that uses stop_machine() internally, and one that can be called from stop_machine() directly - Patches the text on all CPUs only on processors requiring software broadcasting of cache operations Acked-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Tested-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
