[PATCH v2 1/2] openrisc: Add text patching API support
Posted by ChenMiao 2 months ago
From: chenmiao <chenmiao.ku@gmail.com>

We need a text patching mechanism to ensure that in the subsequent
implementation of jump_label, the code can be modified to the correct
location. Therefore, FIX_TEXT_POKE0 has been added as a mapping area.

And, I create a new file named insn-def.h to define the or1k insn macro
size and more define in the future.

Among these changes, we implement patch_map and support the
patch_insn_write API for single instruction writing.

- V2: We modify the patch_insn_write(void *addr, const void *insn) API to
patch_insn_write(void *addr, u32 insn), derectly support a single u32
instruction write to map memory.

The v2, notes should go in this part of the patch (after ---), this way
it does not show up when I queue the patches.

Is this used outside of the usage below?  Why do we need a header for it?

Is this needed?  OpenRISC doesn't seem to have any sections to support __exit
annotated cleanup functions.

  Ref: https://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/InitExitMacros

Returning true here means that all of the patch_map calls will be treated as
kernel pages below though, which is wrong, please remove this.

Instead of OPENRISC_INSN_SIZE, can you use sizeof(insn)?

I think we need the header, although it seems redundant. Although we
only added one line here, I think as development progresses, we might
need more macro definitions related to the instruction set, possibly
including jump_label, ftrace, and potentially bpf.

I'll remove it.

I think not using sizeof(insn)here would be better. In fact, using the
OPENRISC_INSN_SIZE macro might be more appropriate.

Here we are modifying a single instruction, so it must be 4 bytes—the
length of one OPENRISC INSN.
