Subject: [PATCH v4 1/2] livepatch, x86/module: Generalize late module relocation locking.
Date: Thu, 22 May 2025 20:52:04 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250522205205.3408764-2-dylanbhatch@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250522205205.3408764-1-dylanbhatch@google.com>

Late module relocations are an issue on any arch that supports
livepatch, so move the text_mutex locking to the livepatch core code.
