[PATCH v2 0/2] riscv: fix kprobes on minimal kernel configs

From: Xiaofeng Yuan

Date: Sun Jul 19 2026 - 04:12:08 EST


When building with an allnoconfig-derived minimal configuration
(without CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX), kprobes fails because
instruction slot pages from EXECMEM_KPROBES are read-only and
patch_map() bypasses the fixmap writable alias.

These two patches fix the infrastructure.

v2:
- use CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX instead of CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_EXECMEM_ROX
in PATCH 1/2 (per Nam Cao's review)

Xiaofeng Yuan (2):
riscv: mm: make EXECMEM_KPROBES writable without
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
riscv: patch: skip fixmap mapping when kernel text is already
writable
