    powerpc/lib/code-patching: Set up Strict RWX patching earlier · 71a5b3db
    Jordan Niethe authored Jun 09, 2021
    
    
    setup_text_poke_area() is a late init call so it runs before
    mark_rodata_ro() and after the init calls. This lets all the init code
    patching simply write to their locations. In the future, kprobes is
    going to allocate its instruction pages RO which means they will need
    setup_text__poke_area() to have been already called for their code
    patching. However, init_kprobes() (which allocates and patches some
    instruction pages) is an early init call so it happens before
    setup_text__poke_area().
    
    start_kernel() calls poking_init() before any of the init calls. On
    powerpc, poking_init() is currently a nop. setup_text_poke_area() relies
    on kernel virtual memory, cpu hotplug and per_cpu_areas being setup.
    setup_per_cpu_areas(), boot_cpu_hotplug_init() and mm_init() are called
    before poking_init().
    
    Turn setup_text_poke_area() into poking_init().
