Subject: [PATCH v4 3/5] powerpc/64: Convert patch_instruction() to patch_u32()
Date: Wed, 15 May 2024 12:44:43 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240515024445.236364-4-bgray@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20240515024445.236364-1-bgray@linux.ibm.com>

This use of patch_instruction() is working on 32 bit data, and can fail
if the data looks like a prefixed instruction and the extra write
crosses a page boundary. Use patch_u32() to fix the write size.

Fixes: 8734b41b3efe ("powerpc/module_64: Fix livepatching for RO modules")
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230203004649.1f59dbd4@yea/

v2: * Added the fixes tag, it seems appropriate even if the subject does
      mention a more robust solution being required.

patch_u64() should be more efficient, but judging from the bug report
it doesn't seem like the data is doubleword aligned.
