3.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> commit c93f5cf571e7795f97d49ef51b766cf25e328545 upstream. Fix kprobes to set(recover) RWX bits correctly on trampoline buffer before releasing it. Releasing readonly page to module_memfree() crash the kernel. Without this fix, if kprobes user register a bunch of kprobes in function body (since kprobes on function entry usually use ftrace) and unregister it, kernel hits a BUG and crash.
