Yes, but in the meantime, the x86 tree would need this patch to make
kprobes work correctly on modules.
I suspect that without this fix, with the enhanced hotplug and kprobes
patch, kprobes will use text_poke to insert breakpoints in modules
(vmalloced pages used), which will map the wrong pages and corrupt
random kernel locations instead of updating the correct page.
Work that would write protect the module pages should clearly be done,
but it can come in a later time. We have to make sure we interact
correctly with the page allocation debugging, as an example.
Here is the patch against x86.git 2.6.25-rc5 :
The shadow vmap for DEBUG_RODATA kernel text modification uses virt_to_page to
get the pages from the pointer address.
However, I think vmalloc_to_page would be required in case the page is used for
modules.
Since only the core kernel text is marked read-only, use kernel_text_address()
to make sure we only shadow map the core kernel text, not modules.

The sysenter path tries to enable interrupts immediately. Unfortunately
this doesn't work in a paravirt environment, because not enough kernel
state has been set up at that point (namely, pointing %fs to the kernel
percpu data segment). To fix this, defer ENABLE_INTERRUPTS until after
the kernel state has been set up.
Unfortunately this means that we're running with interrupts disabled
for a while without calling the IRQ tracing code, but that can't be
called without setting up %fs either.

Add reserve_memtype and free_memtype wrapper for pci_mmap_page_range. Free
is called on unmap, but identity map continues to be mapped as per
pci_mmap_page_range request, until next request for the same region calls
ioremap_change_attr(), which will go through without conflict. This way of
mapping is identical to one used in ioremap/iounmap.

||PWT
|||
000 WB _PAGE_CACHE_WB
001 WC _PAGE_CACHE_WC
010 UC- _PAGE_CACHE_UC_MINUS
011 UC _PAGE_CACHE_UC
We are effectively changing WT from boot time setting to WC.
UC_MINUS is used to provide backward compatibility to existing /dev/mem
users(X).
reserve_memtype and free_memtype are new interfaces for maintaining alias-free
mapping. It is currently implemented in a simple way with a linked list and
not optimized. reserve and free tracks the effective memory type, as a result
of PAT and MTRR setting rather than what is actually requested in PAT.
pat_init piggy backs on mtrr_init as the rules for setting both pat and mtrr
are same.

I was trying to get the address of instruction to be executed
next after the kprobed instruction. But regs->eip in post_handler()
contains value which is useless to the user. It's pre-corrected value.
This value is difficult to use without access to resume_execution(), which
is not exported anyway.
I moved the invocation of post_handler() to *after* resume_execution().
Now regs->eip contains meaningful value in post_handler().
I do not think this change breaks any backward-compatibility.
To make meaning of the old value, post_handler() would need access to
resume_execution() which is not exported. I have difficulty to believe
that previous, uncorrected, regs->eip can be meaningfully used in
post_handler().

When we're stopped at syscall entry tracing, ptrace can change the %rax
value from -ENOSYS to something else. If no system call is actually made
because the syscall number (now in orig_rax) is bad, then we now always
reset %rax to -ENOSYS again.
This changes it to leave the return value alone after entry tracing.
That way, the %rax value set by ptrace is there to be seen in user mode
(or in syscall exit tracing). This is consistent with what the 32-bit
kernel does.
