Subject: [PATCH 3/5 v2] x86/jump-label: Add safety checks to jump label conversions
Date: Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:09:28 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120128161627.211742344@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20120128160925.275163704@goodmis.org

From: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>

As with all modifying of kernel text, we need to be very paranoid.

When converting the jump label locations to and from nops to jumps
a check has been added to make sure what we are replacing is what we
expect, otherwise we bug.
