powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch stack to struct thread_info 2016-04-14T05:47:06+00:00 Michael Ellerman mpe@ellerman.id.au 2016-03-24T11:04:04+00:00 5d31a96e6c0187f2c5d7004e005fd094a1277e9e In order to support live patching we need to maintain an alternate stack of TOC & LR values. We use the base of the stack for this, and store the "live patch stack pointer" in struct thread_info. Unlike the other fields of thread_info, we can not statically initialise that value, so it must be done at run time. This patch just adds the code to support that, it is not enabled until the next patch which actually adds live patch support.

powerpc/livepatch: Add livepatch header 2016-04-14T05:47:06+00:00 Michael Ellerman mpe@ellerman.id.au 2016-03-24T11:04:03+00:00 f63e6d89876034c21ecd18bb1cd0d6c5b8da11a5 Add the powerpc specific livepatch definitions. In particular we provide a non-default implementation of klp_get_ftrace_location(). This is required because the location of the mcount call is not constant when using -mprofile-kernel (which we always do for live patching).
