[PATCH v5 1/2] riscv: mm: make EXECMEM_KPROBES writable without CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX

Xiaofeng Yuan <[email protected]>
Newsgroups org.infradead.lists.linux-riscv,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel
Message-ID <[email protected]>
When CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not set, execmem cannot create
temporary writable mappings for read-only executable pages. In this
case, the execmem ranges must already have writable permissions.

Currently EXECMEM_KPROBES unconditionally uses PAGE_KERNEL_READ_EXEC,
which causes kprobe instruction slot writes to trigger page faults
on systems where CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is not enabled.

Fix this by using PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC when CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
is not available.
