[PATCH v3 0/2] riscv: fix kprobes on minimal kernel configs
From: Xiaofeng Yuan
Date: Sun Jul 19 2026 - 05:31:35 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
- add commit description to PATCH 2/2
v3:
- simplify PATCH 2/2: early return when !CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
(suggested by Nam Cao)
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
