From af3fdce4ab0781ea183107c90de9cbf21d701c54 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Ellerman Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2021 17:41:52 +1100 Subject: Revert "powerpc/code-patching: Improve verification of patchability" This reverts commit 8b8a8f0ab3f5519e45c526f826a655817486c5bb. As reported[1] by Sachin this causes problems with ftrace, and it also causes the code patching selftests to fail as reported[2] by Stephen. So revert it for now. 1: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/3668743C-09DF-4673-B15C-2FFE2A57F7D7@linux.vnet.ibm.com/ 2: https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20211126161747.1f7795b0@canb.auug.org.au/ Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman --- arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c') diff --git a/arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c b/arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c index 5e2fe133639e..c5ed98823835 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/lib/code-patching.c @@ -190,9 +190,10 @@ static int do_patch_instruction(u32 *addr, struct ppc_inst instr) int patch_instruction(u32 *addr, struct ppc_inst instr) { /* Make sure we aren't patching a freed init section */ - if (!kernel_text_address((unsigned long)addr)) + if (init_mem_is_free && init_section_contains(addr, 4)) { + pr_debug("Skipping init section patching addr: 0x%px\n", addr); return 0; - + } return do_patch_instruction(addr, instr); } NOKPROBE_SYMBOL(patch_instruction); -- cgit v1.2.3
