[BUGFIX PATCH] kprobes/x86: Fix to set RWX bits correctly before releasing trampoline

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Thu May 25 2017 - 06:39:10 EST


Fix kprobes to set(recover) RWX bits correctly on trampoline
buffer before releasing it. Releasing readonly page to
module_memfree() crash the kernel.

Without this fix, if kprobes user register a bunch of kprobes
in function body (since kprobes on function entry usually
use ftrace) and unregister it, kernel hits a BUG and crash.
