arm64: patching: Add aarch64_insn_write_literal_u64()

2023-01-24T11:49:43+00:00

In subsequent patches we'll need to atomically write to a naturally-aligned 64-bit literal embedded within the kernel text. Add a helper for this. For consistency with other text patching code we use copy_to_kernel_nofault(), which is atomic for naturally-aligned accesses up to 64-bits.

arm64: insn: decouple patching from insn code

2021-06-11T10:19:27+00:00

Currently, includes . We intend that will be usable from userspace, so it doesn't make sense to include headers for kernel-only features such as the patching routines, and we'd intended to restrict to instruction encoding details. Let's decouple the patching code from , and explicitly include where it is needed. Since isn't included from assembly, we can drop the __ASSEMBLY__ guards. At the same time, sort the kprobes includes so that it's easier to see what is and isn't incldued.

arm64: Move patching utilities out of instruction encoding/decoding

2021-05-27T16:37:25+00:00

Files insn.[c|h] containt some functions used for instruction patching. In order to reuse the instruction encoder/decoder, move the patching utilities to their own file.
