powerpc: Fix boot on BOOK3S_32 with CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
On powerpc32, patch_instruction() is called by apply_feature_fixups() which is called from early_init() There is the following note in front of early_init(): * Note that the kernel may be running at an address which is different * from the address that it was linked at, so we must use RELOC/PTRRELOC * to access static data (including strings). -- paulus Therefore, slab_is_available() cannot be called yet, and text_poke_area must be addressed with PTRRELOC() Fixes: 95902e6c ("powerpc/mm: Implement STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on PPC32") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.14+ Reported-by: Meelis Roos <mroos@linux.ee> Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@c-s.fr> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
