[PATCH v3 00/10] livepatch,module: Remove .klp.arch and module_disable_ro()

[Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>]

v3:
- klp: split klp_write_relocations() into object/section specific
  functions [joe]
- s390: fix plt/got writes [joe]
- s390: remove text_mutex usage [mbenes]
- x86: do text_poke_sync() before releasing text_mutex [peterz]
- split x86 text_mutex changes into separate patch [mbenes]

v2:
- add vmlinux.ko check [peterz]
- remove 'klp_object' forward declaration [mbenes]
- use text_mutex [jeyu]
- fix documentation TOC [jeyu]
- fix s390 issues [mbenes]
- upstream kpatch-build now supports this
  (though it's only enabled for Linux >= 5.8)

These patches add simplifications and improvements for some issues Peter
found six months ago, as part of his non-writable text code (W^X)
cleanups.

Highlights:

- Remove the livepatch arch-specific .klp.arch sections, which were used
  to do paravirt patching and alternatives patching for livepatch
  replacement code.

- Add support for jump labels in patched code.

- Remove the last module_disable_ro() usage.

For more background, see this thread:

This has been tested with kpatch-build integration tests and klp-convert
selftests.
