asm-generic: introduce text-patching.h

2024-11-07T22:25:15+00:00

Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

arm64: patching: implement text_poke API

2024-02-28T21:44:47+00:00

The text_poke API is used to implement functions like memcpy() and
memset() for instruction memory (RO+X). The implementation is similar to
the x86 version.

This will be used by the BPF JIT to write and modify BPF programs. There
could be more users of this in the future.

arm64: patching: Add aarch64_insn_write_literal_u64()

2023-01-24T11:49:43+00:00

In subsequent patches we'll need to atomically write to a
naturally-aligned 64-bit literal embedded within the kernel text.

Add a helper for this. For consistency with other text patching code we
use copy_to_kernel_nofault(), which is atomic for naturally-aligned
accesses up to 64-bits.

arm64: insn: decouple patching from insn code

2021-06-11T10:19:27+00:00

Currently,  includes . We intend that
 will be usable from userspace, so it doesn't make sense to
include headers for kernel-only features such as the patching routines,
and we'd intended to restrict  to instruction encoding
details.

Let's decouple the patching code from , and explicitly
include  where it is needed. Since 
isn't included from assembly, we can drop the __ASSEMBLY__ guards.

At the same time, sort the kprobes includes so that it's easier to see
what is and isn't incldued.

arm64: Move patching utilities out of instruction encoding/decoding

2021-05-27T16:37:25+00:00

Files insn.[c|h] containt some functions used for instruction patching.
In order to reuse the instruction encoder/decoder, move the patching
utilities to their own file.
