[PATCH v4 1/2] bpf: add __weak hook for allocating executable memory

From: Ard Biesheuvel <hidden>
Date: 2018-11-23 22:18:28
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: bpf [core], bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), the rest · Maintainers: Alexei Starovoitov, Daniel Borkmann, Andrii Nakryiko, Eduard Zingerman, Kumar Kartikeya Dwivedi, Linus Torvalds

By default, BPF uses module_alloc() to allocate executable memory,
but this is not necessary on all arches and potentially undesirable
on some of them.

So break out the module_alloc() and module_memfree() calls into __weak
functions to allow them to be overridden in arch code.
