From 12af2b83d0b17ec8b379b721dd4a8fbcd5d791f3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" Date: Sun, 5 May 2024 19:06:18 +0300 Subject: mm: introduce execmem_alloc() and execmem_free() module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code. Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code. Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation. Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc() and execmem_free() APIs. Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all call sites to use the new APIs. Since architectures define different restrictions on placement, permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that subsystem. No functional changes.

This includes specification of a fallback range required by arm, arm64 and powerpc, EXECMEM_MODULE_DATA type required by powerpc, support for allocation of KASAN shadow required by s390 and x86 and support for late initialization of execmem required by arm64. The core implementation of execmem_alloc() takes care of suppressing warnings when the initial allocation fails but there is a fallback range defined.
