Subject: [PATCH v5 03/16] x86/alternatives: Disable LASS when patching kernel alternatives
From: Sohil Mehta <sohil.mehta@...el.com>
For patching, the kernel initializes a temporary mm area in the lower
half of the address range. See commit 4fc19708b165 ("x86/alternatives:
Initialize temporary mm for patching").
Disable LASS enforcement during patching using the stac()/clac()
instructions to avoid triggering a #GP fault.
The objtool warns due to a call to a non-allowed function that exists
outside of the stac/clac guard, or references to any function with a
dynamic function pointer inside the guard. See the Objtool warnings
section #9 in the document tools/objtool/Documentation/objtool.txt.
Considering that patching is usually small, replace the memcpy and
memset functions in the text poking functions with their inline versions
respectively.
