2017-05-26arm: Prevent hotplug rwsem recursionThomas Gleixner
The text patching functions which are invoked from jump_label and kprobes code are protected against cpu hotplug at the call sites. Use stop_machine_cpuslocked() to avoid recursion on the cpu hotplug rwsem. stop_machine_cpuslocked() contains a lockdep assertion to catch any unprotected callers.

2017-02-07arch: Rename CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_DEBUG_MODULE_RONXLaura Abbott
Both of these options are poorly named. The features they provide are necessary for system security and should not be considered debug only. Change the names to CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX to better describe what these options do.

2015-01-09ARM: probes: move all probe code to dedicate directoryWang Nan
In discussion on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/28/158), Russell King suggests to move all probe related code to arch/arm/probes. This patch does the work. Due to dependency on 'arch/arm/kernel/patch.h', this patch also moves patch.h to 'arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h', and related '#include' directives are also midified to '#include <asm/patch.h>'. Following is an overview of this patch: ./arch/arm/kernel/ ./arch/arm/probes/ |-- Makefile |-- Makefile |-- probes-arm.c ==> |-- decode-arm.c |-- probes-arm.h ==> |-- decode-arm.h |-- probes-thumb.c ==> |-- decode-thumb.c |-- probes-thumb.h ==> |-- decode-thumb.h |-- probes.c ==> |-- decode.c |-- probes.h ==> |-- decode.h | |-- kprobes | | |-- Makefile |-- kprobes-arm.c ==> | |-- actions-arm.c |-- kprobes-common.c ==> | |-- actions-common.c |-- kprobes-thumb.c ==> | |-- actions-thumb.c |-- kprobes.c ==> | |-- core.c |-- kprobes.h ==> | |-- core.h |-- kprobes-test-arm.c ==> | |-- test-arm.c |-- kprobes-test.c ==> | |-- test-core.c |-- kprobes-test.h ==> | |-- test-core.h |-- kprobes-test-thumb.c ==> | `-- test-thumb.c | `-- uprobes | |-- Makefile |-- uprobes-arm.c ==> |-- actions-arm.c |-- uprobes.c ==> |-- core.c |-- uprobes.h ==> `-- core.h | `-- patch.h ==> arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@linaro.org>
2014-10-16arm: use fixmap for text patching when text is RORabin Vincent
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. Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> [kees: fixed up for merge with "arm: use generic fixmap.h"] [kees: added parse acquire/release annotations to pass C=1 builds] [kees: always use stop_machine to keep TLB flushing local] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>
2012-03-24ARM: 7332/1: extract out code patch function from kprobesRabin Vincent
Extract out the code patching code from kprobes so that it can be used from the jump label code. Additionally, the separated code: - Uses the IS_ENABLED() macros instead of the #ifdefs for THUMB2 support - Unifies the two separate functions in kprobes, providing one function that uses stop_machine() internally, and one that can be called from stop_machine() directly - Patches the text on all CPUs only on processors requiring software broadcasting of cache operations Acked-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Tested-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
