[PATCH v3 18/20] x86/ftrace: Use vmalloc special flag
From: Rick Edgecombe
Date: Thu Feb 21 2019 - 18:51:14 EST
Use new flag VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS for handling freeing of special
permissioned memory in vmalloc and remove places where memory was set NX
and RW before freeing which is no longer needed.
