s390/kprobes: move insn_page to text segment
Move the in-kernel kprobes insn page to text segment. Rationale: having that page in rw data segment is suboptimal, since as soon as a kprobe is set, this will split the 1:1 kernel mapping for a single page which get new permissions. Note: there is always at least one kprobe present for the kretprobe trampoline; so the mapping will always be split into smaller 4k mappings because of this. Moving the kprobes insn page into text segment makes sure that the page is mapped RO/X in any case, and avoids that the 1:1 mapping is split. The kprobe insn_page is defined as a dummy function which is filled with "br %r14" instructions. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>
