Hi,
These patches add support for using large ROX pages for allocations of
executable memory on x86.
They address Andy's comments [1] about having executable mappings for code
that was not completely formed.
The approach taken is to allocate ROX memory along w

There are a couple of declarations that depend on CONFIG_MMU in
include/linux/vmalloc.h spread all over the file.
Group them all together to improve code readability.
No functional changes.

vmalloc allocations with VM_ALLOW_HUGE_VMAP that do not explicitly
specify node ID will use huge pages only if size_per_node is larger than
a huge page.
Still the actual allocated memory is not distributed between nodes and
there is no advantage in such approach.

In order to support ROX allocations for module text, it is necessary to
handle modifications to the code, such as relocations and alternatives
patching, without write access to that memory.
One option is to use text patching, but this would make module loading

From: "Mike Rapoport (Microsoft)"
Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header
files that declare patching functions differently.
Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty
header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text pa

When module text memory will be allocated with ROX permissions, the
memory at the actual address where the module will live will contain
invalid instructions and there will be a writable copy that contains the
actual module code.

ftrace_process_locs sorts module mcount, which is inside RO memory. Add a
ftrace_swap_func so that archs can use RO-memory-poke function to do the
sorting.

Using large pages to map text areas reduces iTLB pressure and improves
performance.
Extend execmem_alloc() with an ability to use huge pages with ROX
permissions as a cache for smaller allocations.
To populate the cache, a writable large page is allocated from

Enable execmem's cache of PMD_SIZE'ed pages mapped as ROX for module
text allocations.
