[RFC PATCH v2 4/5] powerpc/lib: Add LKDTM accessor for patching addr

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When live patching a STRICT_RWX kernel, a mapping is installed at a
"patching address" with temporary write permissions. Provide a
LKDTM-only accessor function for this address in preparation for a LKDTM
test which attempts to "hijack" this mapping by writing to it from
another CPU.
