Subject: [PATCH 4/5] powerpc/lib: Add LKDTM accessor for patching addr
Date: Wed, 3 Jun 2020 00:19:11 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200603051912.23296-5-cmr@informatik.wtf> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200603051912.23296-1-cmr@informatik.wtf>
When live patching a STRICT_RWX kernel, a mapping is installed at a
"patching address" with temporary write permissions. Provide a
LKDTM-only accessor function for this address in preparation for a LKDTM
test which attempts to "hijack" this mapping by writing to it from
another CPU.
