And I've done just that. This includes Josh's validation patch, the revert and my klp_appy_relocations_add() patches with the removal of module_disable_ro(). Josh, can you test or give me clue on how to test? I need to run a few errands today, but I'll try and have a poke either tonight or tomorrow. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/peterz/queue.git x86/rwx After this it is waiting for Mark's argh64 patches to land: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20191021163426.9408-5-mark.rutland@xxxxxxx And then we can go and delete module_disable_ro() entirely -- hooray!
