Subject: [PATCH 0/5] [GIT PULL] ftrace/kprobes/x86: Memory Fix Edition


Linus,

There's been a few memory issues found with ftrace.

One was simply a memory leak where not all was being freed that should
have been in releasing a file pointer on set_graph_function.

Then Thomas found that the ftrace trampolines were marked for read/write
as well as execute. To shrink the possible attack surface, he added
calls to set them to ro. Which also uncovered some other issues with
freeing module allocated memory that had its permissions changed.

Kprobes had a similar issue which is fixed and a selftest was added
to trigger that issue again.

Please pull the latest trace-v4.12-rc2 tree, which can be found at:
