x86/module: Use text_poke() for late relocations
Because of late module patching, a livepatch module needs to be able to apply some of its relocations well after it has been loaded. Instead of playing games with module_{dis,en}able_ro(), use existing text poking mechanisms to apply relocations after module loading. So far only x86, s390 and Power have HAVE_LIVEPATCH but only the first two also have STRICT_MODULE_RWX. This will allow removal of the last module_disable_ro() usage in livepatch. The ultimate goal is to completely disallow making executable mappings writable. [ jpoimboe: Split up patches. Use mod state to determine whether memcpy() can be used. Implement text_poke() for UML. ] Cc: x86@kernel.org Suggested-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> Acked-by: Miroslav Benes <mbenes@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>
