Subject: [PATCH v7 23/31] module: Add MOD_NOINSTR_TEXT mem_type
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 16:14:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251114151428.1064524-3-vschneid@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251114150133.1056710-1-vschneid@redhat.com>
As pointed out by Sean [1], is_kernel_noinstr_text() will return false for
an address contained within a module's .noinstr.text section. A later patch
will require checking whether a text address is noinstr, and this can
unfortunately be the case of modules - KVM is one such case.
A module's .noinstr.text section is already tracked as of commit
66e9b0717102 ("kprobes: Prevent probes in .noinstr.text section")
for kprobe blacklisting purposes, but via an ad-hoc mechanism.
Add a MOD_NOINSTR_TEXT mem_type, and reorganize __layout_sections() so that
it maps all the sections in a single invocation.
