Subject: Add mark_rodata_rw() to un-protect read-only kernel code pages
|
|
Patch-mainline: probably never
|
|
References: bnc#439348
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_RODATA presents a problem for antivirus vendors who do not have a
|
|
clean user-space interface for getting virus scanning triggered, and
|
|
currently resort to patching the kernel code instead (presumably the
|
|
ystem call table). With CONFIG_RODATA enabled, the kernel rejects such
|
|
write accesses.
|
|
|
|
Add a new mark_rodata_rw() function to un-protect the read-only kernel code
|
|
pages for now, and export mark_rodata_ro() and mark_rodata_rw() to modules.
|
|
|
|
This is not meant as a permanent workaround, and will be removed again in the
|
|
next release!
