Subject: [PATCH 2/3] arm64: kprobes: Remove unneeded RODATA check
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2018 15:41:15 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <154502887509.30629.17754148993239954461.stgit@devbox> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <154502881646.30629.9938335052821665530.stgit@devbox>

Remove unneeded RODATA check from arch_prepare_kprobe().

Since check_kprobe_address_safe() already ensured that
the probe address is in kernel text, we don't need to
check whether the address in RODATA or not. That must
be always false.
