[bpf-next,v4,5/6] vmalloc: introduce register_text_tail_vm()

Commit Message

Song Liu Nov. 17, 2022, 8:23 p.m. UTC

Allow arch code to register some memory to be used by execmem_alloc().
One possible use case is to allocate PMD pages for kernl text up to
PMD_ALIGN(_etext), and use (_etext, PMD_ALIGN(_etext)) for
execmem_alloc. Currently, only one such region is supported.
