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 >= 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.
Nice! Glad the .klp.arch sections are going away. For kernel/module.c and include/linux/module.h parts: Acked-by: Jessica Yu <jeyu@xxxxxxxxxx>
