[PATCH v2 4/8] module: prepare to handle ROX allocations for text
Mike Rapoport

Sun Aug 25 23:55:28 PDT 2024
From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <rppt at kernel.org>
In order to support ROX allocations for module text, it is necessary to
handle modifications to the code, such as relocations and alternatives
patching, without write access to that memory.
One option is to use text patching, but this would make module loading
extremely slow and will expose executable code that is not finally formed.
A better way is to have memory allocated with ROX permissions contain
invalid instructions and keep a writable, but not executable copy of the
module text. The relocations and alternative patches would be done on the
writable copy using the addresses of the ROX memory.
Once the module is completely ready, the updated text will be copied to ROX
memory using text patching in one go and the writable copy will be freed.
Add support for that to module initialization code and provide necessary
interfaces in execmem.
