Subject: [PATCH] powerpc: Remove __kernel_text_address() in
show_instructions()
References: bsc#1012628
Patch-mainline: 6.2.7
Git-commit: d9ab6da64fd15608c9feb20d769d8df1a32fe212
[ Upstream commit d9ab6da64fd15608c9feb20d769d8df1a32fe212 ]
That test was introducted in 2006 by
commit 00ae36de49cc ("[POWERPC] Better check in show_instructions").
At that time, there was no BPF progs.
As seen in message of commit 89d21e259a94 ("powerpc/bpf/32: Fix Oops
on tail call tests"), when a page fault occurs in test_bpf.ko for
instance, the code is dumped as XXXXXXXXs. Allthough
__kernel_text_address() checks is_bpf_text_address(), it seems it is
not enough.
Today, show_instructions() uses get_kernel_nofault() to read the code,
so there is no real need for additional verifications.
ARM64 and x86 don't do any additional check before dumping
instructions. Do the same and remove __kernel_text_address()
in show_instructions().
