From 6f3a81b60091031c2c14eb2373d1937b027deb46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Leroy Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2022 09:31:43 +0100 Subject: powerpc/code-patching: Remove protection against patching init addresses after init Once init section is freed, attempting to patch init code ends up in the weed. Commit 51c3c62b58b3 ("powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections") protected patch_instruction() against that, but it is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the patched memory is valid. All callers have now been verified and fixed so the check can be removed. This improves ftrace activation by about 2% on 8xx.
