Re: [PATCH v9 3/8] powerpc/kprobes: Mark newly allocated probes as RO

From: Russell Currey <redacted>

With CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y and CONFIG_KPROBES=y, there will be one
W+X page at boot by default.  This can be tested with
CONFIG_PPC_PTDUMP=y and CONFIG_PPC_DEBUG_WX=y set, and checking the
kernel log during boot.
This text is confusing. I don't understand what is the status before the patch, and what is the 
status after.

"there will be one ...", does it mean after the patch ?
Add an arch specific insn page allocator which returns RO pages if
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is enabled. This page is only written to with
patch_instruction() which is able to write RO pages.
"an" or "the" arch specific insn page allocator ?

v9: - vmalloc_exec() no longer exists
     - Set the page to RW before freeing it

Can't do that on book3s/32, see https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/commit/6ca05532 and 
https://github.com/linuxppc/linux/commit/7fbc22ce

Should do:
	return __vmalloc_node_range(size, 1, MODULES_VADDR, MODULES_END, GFP_KERNEL,
				    PAGE_KERNEL_ROX, VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS, NUMA_NO_NODE,
				    __builtin_return_address(0));


To keep it simple, you'll probably need to define MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END as resp 
VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END when they are not defined, maybe in asm/pgtable.h
