[v4,2/2] arch/riscv: Enable kprobes when CONFIG_MODULES=n

Commit Message

Jarkko Sakkinen March 25, 2024, 9:15 p.m. UTC

Tacing with kprobes while running a monolithic kernel is currently
impossible due the kernel module allocator dependency.

Address the issue by implementing textmem API for RISC-V.

v4:
- Include linux/execmem.h.
v3:
- Architecture independent parts have been split to separate patches.
- Do not change arch/riscv/kernel/module.c as it is out of scope for
  this patch set now.
v2:
- Better late than never right? :-)
- Focus only to RISC-V for now to make the patch more digestable. This
  is the arch where I use the patch on a daily basis to help with QA.
- Introduce HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC flag to help with more gradual migration.
