[PATCHv2 2/2] arm: use fixmap for text patching when text is RO

Rabin Vincent rabin at rab.in
Thu Apr 24 14:28:57 PDT 2014


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.

v2: flush the fixmap if necessary, with flush_kernel_vmap_range()
