They were related to Xen code that is not upstream but this clean up would make sense here. I think that this was already the intention when text_ip_addr() was introduced in the commit 87fbb2ac6073a703930 (ftrace/x86: Use breakpoints for converting function graph caller). Anyway, better do it now before it shots people into their leg ;-) Signed-off-by: Petr Mladek --- arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c | 11 +---------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c b/arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c index 89de3eaf8772..cbc4a91b131e 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/ftrace.c @@ -297,16 +297,7 @@ int ftrace_int3_handler(struct pt_regs *regs) static int ftrace_write(unsigned long ip, const char *val, int size) { - /* - * On x86_64, kernel text mappings are mapped read-only with - * CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.
