[PATCH 3/9] jump label: Fix module __init section race

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Jason Baron <jbaron@xxxxxxxxxx>

Jump label uses is_module_text_address() to ensure that the module
__init sections are valid before updating them. However, between the
check for a valid module __init section and the subsequent jump
label update, the module's __init section could be freed out from under
us.

We fix this potential race by adding a notifier callback to the
MODULE_STATE_LIVE state. This notifier is called *after* the __init
section has been run but before it is going to be freed. In the
callback, the jump label code zeros the key value for any __init jump
code within the module, and we add a check for a non-zero key value when
we update jump labels. In this way we require no additional data
structures.

Thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for pointing out this race condition.

[ Renamed remove_module_init() to remove_jump_label_module_init()
  as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu. ]
