[PATCH v3 0/3] powerpc/mm: Fix kernel protection and implement CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on PPC32

Show all headers | View raw

This patch set implements CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on Powerpc32
after fixing a few issues related to kernel code page protection.

Changes in v2:
  Instead of making the entire kernel RW to patch code in ftrace,
  we now only change the rights on the page to be modified

Changes in v3:
  Changing the rights is performed in patch_instruction() instead of
  being done only in ftrace, so that other functionnalities like
  jump_label also works.

Christophe Leroy (3):
  powerpc/mm: Ensure change_page_attr() doesn't invalidate pinned TLBs
  powerpc/mm: Fix kernel RAM protection after freeing unused memory on
    PPC32
