[PATCH v2 18/20] x86/ftrace: Use vmalloc special flag

From: Rick Edgecombe <rick.p.edgecombe@intel.com>
Date: 2019-01-29 00:39:43
Also in: linux-integrity, linux-mm, lkml
Subsystem: function hooks (ftrace), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Use new flag VM_HAS_SPECIAL_PERMS for handling freeing of special
permissioned memory in vmalloc and remove places where memory was set NX
and RW before freeing which is no longer needed.

Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
