Use fixmaps for text patching when the kernel text is read-only,

ARM: 7332/1: extract out code patch function from kprobes 2012-03-24T09:38:55+00:00 Rabin Vincent rabin@rab.in 2012-02-18T16:50:51+00:00 b21d55e98ac2bbcbbeec9a8cb091f717fd95b072 Extract out the code patching code from kprobes so that it can be used from the jump label code. Additionally, the separated code: - Uses the IS_ENABLED() macros instead of the #ifdefs for THUMB2 support - Unifies the two separate functions in kprobes, providing one function that uses stop_machine() internally, and one that can be called from stop_machine() directly - Patches the text on all CPUs only on processors requiring software broadcasting of cache operations Acked-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Tested-by: Jon Medhurst <tixy@yxit.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk> 
Extract out the code patching code from kprobes so that it can be used
from the jump label code.  Additionally, the separated code:

 - Uses the IS_ENABLED() macros instead of the #ifdefs for THUMB2
   support

 - Unifies the two separate functions in kprobes, providing one function
   that uses stop_machine() internally, and one that can be called from
   stop_machine() directly

 - Patches the text on all CPUs only on processors requiring software
   broadcasting of cache operations
