From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)" <r...@kernel.org> Hi,
These patches enable use of EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for ftrace and kprobes allocations on x86. They also include some ground work in execmem. Since the execmem model for caching large ROX pages changed from the initial assumption that the memory that is allocated from ROX cache is always ROX to the current state where memory can be temporarily made RW and then restored to ROX, we can stop using text poking to update it. This also saves the hassle of trying lock text_mutex in execmem_cache_free() when kprobes already hold that mutex. The patches 1-6 update and cleanup execmem ROX cache management, patch 7 enables EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for kprobes and patch 8 enables EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for frace. The patches are also available at git: https://git.kernel.org/rppt/h/execmem/x86-rox/ftrace%2bkprobes/v2 v2 changes: * Fix setting and clearing pending_free for an area (Yann) * Reorder execmem_cache_free() to avoid error goto (Peter) * Add comment why mas_store_gfp() cannot fail in execmem_cache_free() (Peter) Mike Rapoport (Microsoft) (8): execmem: drop unused execmem_update_copy() execmem: introduce execmem_alloc_rw() execmem: rework execmem_cache_free() execmem: move execmem_force_rw() and execmem_restore_rox() before use execmem: add fallback for failures in vmalloc(VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP) execmem: drop writable parameter from execmem_fill_trapping_insns() x86/kprobes: enable EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for kprobes allocations x86/ftrace: enable EXECMEM_ROX_CACHE for ftrace allocations arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c | 3 +- arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/kprobes/core.c | 18 --- arch/x86/mm/init.c | 24 ++-- include/linux/execmem.h | 54 ++++----- kernel/module/main.c | 13 +-- mm/execmem.c | 198 +++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- 7 files changed, 194 insertions(+), 118 deletions(-) base-commit: 86731a2a651e58953fc949573895f2fa6d456841 -- 2.47.2
