[PATCH v2 05/12] modules, execmem: drop module_alloc

Mike Rapoport rppt at kernel.org

From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt at kernel.org>

Define default parameters for address range for code allocations using
the current values in module_alloc() and make execmem_text_alloc() use
these defaults when an architecure does not supply its specific
parameters.

With this, execmem_text_alloc() implements memory allocation in a way
compatible with module_alloc() and can be used as a replacement for
module_alloc().
