[PATCH v2 1/2] kprobes: Allow architectures to override optinsn page allocation

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-13 09:08:11

Some architectures like powerpc require a non standard
allocation of optinsn page, because module pages are
too far from the kernel for direct branches.

Define weak alloc_optinsn_page() and free_optinsn_page(), that
fall back on alloc_insn_page() and free_insn_page() when not
overriden by the architecture.

[PATCH v2 2/2] powerpc/kprobes: Replace ppc_optinsn by common optinsn

From: Christophe Leroy <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-13 09:08:14

Commit 51c9c0843993 ("powerpc/kprobes: Implement Optprobes")
implemented a powerpc specific version of optinsn in order
to workaround the 32Mb limitation for direct branches.

Instead of implementing a dedicated powerpc version, use the
common optinsn and override the allocation and freeing functions.

This also indirectly remove the CLANG warning about
is_kprobe_ppc_optinsn_slot() not being use, and the powerpc will
now benefit from commit 5b485629ba0d ("kprobes, extable: Identify
kprobes trampolines as kernel text area")

Applied to powerpc/next.
