Subject: [PATCH v4 00/11] livepatch,module: Remove .klp.arch and module_disable_ro()

Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

v4:
- Fixed rebase bisection regression [Miroslav]
- Made module_enable_ro() static [Jessica]
- Added Acked-by's

v3:
- klp: split klp_write_relocations() into object/section specific
  functions [joe]
- s390: fix plt/got writes [joe]
- s390: remove text_mutex usage [mbenes]
- x86: do text_poke_sync() before releasing text_mutex [peterz]
- split x86 text_mutex changes into separate patch [mbenes]

v2:
- add vmlinux.ko check [peterz]
- remove 'klp_object' forward declaration [mbenes]
- use text_mutex [jeyu]
- fix documentation TOC [jeyu]
- fix s390 issues [mbenes]
- upstream kpatch-build now supports this
  (though it's only enabled for Linux >=3D 5.8)

These patches add simplifications and improvements for some issues Peter
found six months ago, as part of his non-writable text code (W^X)
cleanups.

Highlights:

- Remove the livepatch arch-specific .klp.arch sections, which were used
  to do paravirt patching and alternatives patching for livepatch
  replacement code.

- Add support for jump labels in patched code (only for static keys
  which live in vmlinux).

- Remove the last module_disable_ro() usage.

For more background, see this thread:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191021135312.jbbxsuipxldocdjk@treble

This has been tested with kpatch-build integration tests and klp-convert
selftests.
