[PATCH v2 4/9] arm64: insn: avoid virt_to_page() translations on core kernel symbols

From: Ard Biesheuvel <hidden>
Date: 2016-02-29 14:45:34
Also in: linux-mm
Subsystem: arm64 port (aarch64 architecture), the rest · Maintainers: Catalin Marinas, Will Deacon, Linus Torvalds

Before restricting virt_to_page() to the linear mapping, ensure that
the text patching code does not use it to resolve references into the
core kernel text, which is mapped in the vmalloc area.
