Subject: Subject: Re: [PATCH] Kprobes x86_64 fix for mark ro data
From: "S. P. Prasanna" <prasanna@xxxxxxxxxx>
Fix the problem of page protection introduced by CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA for
x86_64 architecture. As per Andi Kleen's suggestion, the kernel text pages
are marked writeable only for a short duration to insert or remove the
breakpoints.
