Patch 2f896d586610 ("arm64: use fixmap for text patching") changed the way we patch the kernel text, using a fixmap when the kernel or modules are flagged as read only. Unfortunately, a flaw in the logic makes it fall over when patching modules without CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled: [...] [ 32.032636] Call trace: [ 32.032716] [<fffffe00003da0dc>] __copy_to_user+0x2c/0x60 [ 32.032837] [<fffffe0000099f08>] __aarch64_insn_write+0x94/0xf8 [ 32.033027] [<fffffe000009a0a0>] aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync+0x18/0x58 [ 32.033200] [<fffffe000009c3ec>] ftrace_modify_code+0x58/0x84 [ 32.033363] [<fffffe000009c4e4>] ftrace_make_nop+0x3c/0x58 [ 32.033532] [<fffffe0000164420>] ftrace_process_locs+0x3d0/0x5c8 [ 32.033709] [<fffffe00001661cc>] ftrace_module_init+0x28/0x34 [ 32.033882] [<fffffe0000135148>] load_module+0xbb8/0xfc4 [ 32.034044] [<fffffe0000135714>] SyS_finit_module+0x94/0xc4 [...] This is triggered by the use of virt_to_page() on a module address, which ends to pointing to Nowhereland if you're lucky, or corrupt your precious data if not. This patch fixes the logic by mimicking what is done on arm: - If we're patching a module and CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX is set, use vmalloc_to_page(). - If we're patching the kernel and CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, use virt_to_page(). - Otherwise, use the provided address, as we can write to it directly. Tested on 4.0-rc1 as a KVM guest. Reported-by: Richard W.M.

Looks like I dropped this incorrectly between v6 and v7. Acked-by: Laura Abbott <redacted> -- Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. Qualcomm Innovation Center, Inc. is a member of Code Aurora Forum, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project
