arm: use fixmap for text patching when text is RO
Use fixmaps for text patching when the kernel text is read-only, inspired by x86. This makes jump labels and kprobes work with the currently available CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and the upcoming CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA options. Signed-off-by: Rabin Vincent <rabin@rab.in> [kees: fixed up for merge with "arm: use generic fixmap.h"] [kees: added parse acquire/release annotations to pass C=1 builds] [kees: always use stop_machine to keep TLB flushing local] Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Nicolas Pitre <nico@linaro.org>
