If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nikolay Borisov commit 42d720d1731a9d7035c2812437c35e271ec4dd78 upstream. With the introduction of Kees Cook's patch to make the kernel .text read-only the existing method by which kexec works got broken since it directly pokes some values in the template code, which resides in the .text section. The current patch changes the way those values are inserted so that poking .text section occurs only in machine_kexec (e.g when we are about to nuke the old kernel and are beyond the point of return). This allows to use set_kernel_text_rw() to directly patch the values in the .text section. I had already sent a patch which achieved this but it was significantly more complicated, so this is a cleaner/straight-forward approach.
