From 78ff7fae04554b49d29226ed12536268c2500d1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Fri, 6 Mar 2009 10:37:54 -0500 Subject: x86: implement atomic text_poke() via fixmap Use fixmaps instead of vmap/vunmap in text_poke() for avoiding page allocation and delayed unmapping. At the result of above change, text_poke() becomes atomic and can be called from stop_machine() etc. Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers LKML-Reference: <49B14352.2040705@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar --- arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h') diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h index 63a79c77d220..81937a5dc77c 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/fixmap.h @@ -111,6 +111,8 @@ enum fixed_addresses { #ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT FIX_PARAVIRT_BOOTMAP, #endif + FIX_TEXT_POKE0, /* reserve 2 pages for text_poke() */ + FIX_TEXT_POKE1, __end_of_permanent_fixed_addresses, #ifdef CONFIG_PROVIDE_OHCI1394_DMA_INIT FIX_OHCI1394_BASE, -- cgit v1.2.3
