[PATCH 2/6] __wr_after_init: write rare for static allocation

From: Igor Stoppa
Date: Tue Dec 04 2018 - 07:19:14 EST


Implementation of write rare for statically allocated data, located in a
specific memory section through the use of the __write_rare label.

The basic functions are:
- wr_memset(): write rare counterpart of memset()
- wr_memcpy(): write rare counterpart of memcpy()
- wr_assign(): write rare counterpart of the assignment ('=') operator
- wr_rcu_assign_pointer(): write rare counterpart of rcu_assign_pointer()

The implementation is based on code from Andy Lutomirski and Nadav Amit
for patching the text on x86 [here goes reference to commits, once merged]

The modification of write protected data is done through an alternate
mapping of the same pages, as writable.
This mapping is local to each core and is active only for the duration
of each write operation.
Local interrupts are disabled, while the alternate mapping is active.

In theory, it could introduce a non-predictable delay, in a preemptible
system, however the amount of data to be altered is likely to be far
smaller than a page.
