[PATCH 10/13] modules, jitalloc: prepare to allocate executable memory as ROX

Mike Rapoport rppt at kernel.org
Thu Jun 1 20:12:54 AEST 2023


From: "Mike Rapoport (IBM)" <rppt at kernel.org>

When executable memory will be allocated as ROX it won't be possible to
update it using memset() and memcpy().

Introduce jit_update_copy() and jit_update_set() APIs and use them in
modules loading code instead of memcpy() and memset().
