[PATCH v6 2/4] powerpc: Rework and improve STRICT_KERNEL_RWX patching

Sat Sep 11 12:29:02 AEST 2021


Rework code-patching with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX to prepare for a later patch
which uses a temporary mm for patching under the Book3s64 Radix MMU.
Make improvements by adding a WARN_ON when the patchsite doesn't match
after patching and return the error from __patch_instruction() properly.

v6:  * Remove the pr_warn() message from unmap_patch_area().

v5:  * New to series.
