There are three head files(kallsyms.h, kernel.h and sections.h) which
include the kernel sections range check, let's make some cleanup and
unify them.
1. cleanup arch specific text/data check and fix address boundary check
in kallsyms.h
2. make all the basic/core kernel range check function into sections.h
3. update all the callers, and use the helper in sections.h to simplify
the code
After this series, we have 5 APIs about kernel sections range check in
sections.h
* is_kernel_rodata() --- already in sections.h
* is_kernel_core_data() --- come from core_kernel_data() in kernel.h
* is_kernel_inittext() --- come from kernel.h and kallsyms.h
* __is_kernel_text() --- add new internal helper
* __is_kernel() --- add new internal helper
Note: For the last two helpers, people should not use directly, consider to
use corresponding function in kallsyms.h.
v3:
- Add Steven's RB to patch2
- Introduce two internal helper, then use is_kernel_text() in core_kernel_text()
and is_kernel() in kernel_or_module_addr() suggested by Steven
v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arch/20210728081320.20394-1-wangkefeng.wang@xxxxxxxxxx/
- add ACK/RW to patch2, and drop inappropriate fix tag
- keep 'core' to check kernel data, suggestted by Steven Rostedt
<rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>, rename is_kernel_data() to is_kernel_core_data()
- drop patch8 which is merged
- drop patch9 which is resend independently
