Subject: [PATCH v2 0/9] livepatch,module: Remove .klp.arch and module_disable_ro()
Date: Fri, 17 Apr 2020 09:04:25 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1587131959.git.jpoimboe@redhat.com> (raw)
v2:
- add vmlinux.ko check [peterz]
- remove 'klp_object' forward declaration [mbenes]
- use text_mutex [jeyu]
- fix documentation TOC [jeyu]
- fix s390 issues [mbenes]
- upstream kpatch-build now supports this
(though it's only enabled for Linux >= 5.8)
These patches add simplifications and improvements for some issues Peter
found six months ago, as part of his non-writable text code (W^X)
cleanups.
Highlights:
- Remove the livepatch arch-specific .klp.arch sections, which were used
to do paravirt patching and alternatives patching for livepatch
replacement code.
- Add support for jump labels in patched code.
- Remove the last module_disable_ro() usage.
For more background, see this thread:

I've tested this with a modified kpatch-build:
https://github.com/jpoimboe/kpatch/tree/no-klp-arch
(I'm planning to submit a github PR for kpatch-build, once I get
the updated unit/integration tests sorted out.
