* arm: Prevent hotplug rwsem recursionThomas Gleixner2017-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The text patching functions which are invoked from jump_label and kprobes code are protected against cpu hotplug at the call sites. Use stop_machine_cpuslocked() to avoid recursion on the cpu hotplug rwsem. stop_machine_cpuslocked() contains a lockdep assertion to catch any unprotected callers.

* arch: Rename CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and CONFIG_DEBUG_MODULE_RONXLaura Abbott2017-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | Both of these options are poorly named. The features they provide are necessary for system security and should not be considered debug only. Change the names to CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX and CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX to better describe what these options do.

* ARM: probes: move all probe code to dedicate directoryWang Nan2015-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In discussion on LKML (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/11/28/158), Russell King suggests to move all probe related code to arch/arm/probes. This patch does the work. Due to dependency on 'arch/arm/kernel/patch.h', this patch also moves patch.h to 'arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h', and related '#include' directives are also midified to '#include <asm/patch.h>'. Following is an overview of this patch: ./arch/arm/kernel/ ./arch/arm/probes/ |-- Makefile |-- Makefile |-- probes-arm.c ==> |-- decode-arm.c |-- probes-arm.h ==> |-- decode-arm.h |-- probes-thumb.c ==> |-- decode-thumb.c |-- probes-thumb.h ==> |-- decode-thumb.h |-- probes.c ==> |-- decode.c |-- probes.h ==> |-- decode.h | |-- kprobes | | |-- Makefile |-- kprobes-arm.c ==> | |-- actions-arm.c |-- kprobes-common.c ==> | |-- actions-common.c |-- kprobes-thumb.c ==> | |-- actions-thumb.c |-- kprobes.c ==> | |-- core.c |-- kprobes.h ==> | |-- core.h |-- kprobes-test-arm.c ==> | |-- test-arm.c |-- kprobes-test.c ==> | |-- test-core.c |-- kprobes-test.h ==> | |-- test-core.h |-- kprobes-test-thumb.c ==> | `-- test-thumb.c | `-- uprobes | |-- Makefile |-- uprobes-arm.c ==> |-- actions-arm.c |-- uprobes.c ==> |-- core.c |-- uprobes.h ==> `-- core.h | `-- patch.h ==> arch/arm/include/asm/patch.h Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@linaro.org>
* arm: use fixmap for text patching when text is RORabin Vincent2014-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use fixmaps for text patching when the kernel text is read-only, inspired by x86. This makes jump labels and kprobes work with the currently available CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and the upcoming CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA options. Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> [kees: fixed up for merge with "arm: use generic fixmap.h"] [kees: added parse acquire/release annotations to pass C=1 builds] [kees: always use stop_machine to keep TLB flushing local] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>
* ARM: 7332/1: extract out code patch function from kprobesRabin Vincent2012-03-24
Extract out the code patching code from kprobes so that it can be used from the jump label code. Additionally, the separated code: - Uses the IS_ENABLED() macros instead of the #ifdefs for THUMB2 support - Unifies the two separate functions in kprobes, providing one function that uses stop_machine() internally, and one that can be called from stop_machine() directly - Patches the text on all CPUs only on processors requiring software broadcasting of cache operations Acked-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Tested-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>
