The patch titled
Subject: kprobes: provide new dmainsn cache
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
kprobes-provide-new-dmainsn-cache.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
------------------------------------------------------
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@xxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: kprobes: provide new dmainsn cache
The current kpropes insn caches allocate memory areas for insn slots with
module_alloc(). The assumption is that the kernel image and module area
are both within the same +/- 2GB memory area.
This however is not true for s390 where the kernel image resides within
the first 2GB (DMA memory area), but the module area is far away in the
vmalloc area, usually somewhere close below the 4TB area.
For new pc relative instructions s390 needs insn slots that are within +/-
2GB of each area. That way we can patch displacements of pc-relative
instructions within the insn slots just like x86 and powerpc.
The module area works already with the normal insn slot allocator, however
there is currently no way to get insn slots that are within the first 2GB
on s390 (aka DMA area).
Therefore this patch introduces the dmainsn slot cache. Slots can be
allocated and freed with get_dmainsn_slot() and free_dmainsn_slot().
