bpf_arch_text_copy is used to dump JITed binary to RX page, allowing

to implement it.

Using patch_instruction() is nice for a quick implementation, but it is
probably suboptimal. Due to the amount of data to be copied, it is worth

Yeah.

a dedicated function that maps a RW copy of the page to be updated then
does the copy at once with memcpy() then unmaps the page.

I will see if I can come up with such implementation for the respin.

I can't see the added value of having two functions when the first one
just calls the second one and is the only user of it. Why not have
implemented bpf_patch_instructions() directly inside bpf_arch_text_copy() ?

By the way, it can be nice to have two functions, but split them
differently, to avoid the goto: etc ....

I also prefer using for loops instead of while loops.


It could have looked like below (untested):

static void *bpf_patch_instructions(void *addr, void *opcode, size_t len)
{
	u32 *inst = opcode;
	u32 *start = addr;
	u32 *end = addr + len;

	for (inst = opcode, start = addr; start < end; inst++, start++) {
		if (patch_instruction(start, ppc_inst(*inst)))
			return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);
	}

	return addr;
}

void *bpf_arch_text_copy(void *dst, void *src, size_t len)
{
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(core_kernel_text((unsigned long)dst)))
		return ret;

	mutex_lock(&text_mutex);

	ret = bpf_patch_instructions(dst, src, len);

	mutex_unlock(&text_mutex);

	return ret;
}



Sure. Will use this.

Thanks
Hari
