Yes, but in the meantime, the x86 tree would need this patch to make
kprobes work correctly on modules.

I suspect that without this fix, with the enhanced hotplug and kprobes
patch, kprobes will use text_poke to insert breakpoints in modules
(vmalloced pages used), which will map the wrong pages and corrupt
random kernel locations instead of updating the correct page.

Work that would write protect the module pages should clearly be done,
but it can come in a later time. We have to make sure we interact
correctly with the page allocation debugging, as an example.

Here is the patch against x86.git 2.6.25-rc5 :

The shadow vmap for DEBUG_RODATA kernel text modification uses virt_to_page to
get the pages from the pointer address.

However, I think vmalloc_to_page would be required in case the page is used for
modules.

Since only the core kernel text is marked read-only, use kernel_text_address()
to make sure we only shadow map the core kernel text, not modules.

x86: clean up vSMP detection · e5699a82

Ravikiran G Thirumalai authored Mar 24, 2008

vSMP detection: access pci config space early in boot to detect if the
system is a vSMPowered box, and cache the result in a flag, so that
is_vsmp_box() retrieves the value of the flag always.

x86: only enable interrupts when kernel state has been set up · d93c870b

Jeremy Fitzhardinge authored Mar 24, 2008

The sysenter path tries to enable interrupts immediately.  Unfortunately
this doesn't work in a paravirt environment, because not enough kernel
state has been set up at that point (namely, pointing %fs to the kernel
percpu data segment).  To fix this, defer ENABLE_INTERRUPTS until after
the kernel state has been set up.

Unfortunately this means that we're running with interrupts disabled
for a while without calling the IRQ tracing code, but that can't be
called without setting up %fs either.
