[PATCH v3 2/7] arm64: introduce interfaces to hotpatch kernel and module code

From: Jiang Liu
Date: Tue Oct 15 2013 - 23:21:33 EST


From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce three interfaces to patch kernel and module code:
aarch64_insn_patch_text_nosync():
patch code without synchronization, it's caller's responsibility
to synchronize all CPUs if needed.
aarch64_insn_patch_text_sync():
patch code and always synchronize with stop_machine()
aarch64_insn_patch_text():
patch code and synchronize with stop_machine() if needed
