Subject: x86_64, ftrace: Make ftrace use kernel identity mapping to modify code
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55ca3cc1746335bb6ef1d3894ddb6d0c729b3518;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

x86_64, ftrace: Make ftrace use kernel identity mapping to modify code

On x86_64, kernel text mappings are mapped read-only with
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. So use the kernel identity mapping instead
of the kernel text mapping to modify the kernel text.
