Xiaofeng Yuan 8718e5a309 riscv: patch: skip fixmap mapping when kernel text is already writable
patch_map() always creates a temporary writable mapping via fixmap for
kernel text addresses, even when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is disabled
and the kernel text is already mapped with _PAGE_WRITE.

This is unnecessary overhead at best, and on minimal configurations
it can cause page faults.

Skip the fixmap path for kernel text when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
is not enabled, since the text pages are already writable in that case.
The module text path is already gated on CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX and
is kept unchanged.

Vivian Wang 6b60a128c2 riscv: patch: Avoid early phys_to_page()
Similarly to commit 8d09e2d569 ("arm64: patching: avoid early
page_to_phys()"), avoid using phys_to_page() for the kernel address case
in patch_map().

Since this is called from apply_boot_alternatives() in setup_arch(), and
commit 4267739cab ("arch, mm: consolidate initialization of SPARSE
memory model") has moved sparse_init() to after setup_arch(),
phys_to_page() is not available there yet, and it panics on boot with
SPARSEMEM on RV32, which does not use SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

Alexandre Ghiti edf2d546bf riscv: patch: Flush the icache right after patching to avoid illegal insns
We cannot delay the icache flush after patching some functions as we may
have patched a function that will get called before the icache flush.

The only way to completely avoid such scenario is by flushing the icache
as soon as we patch a function. This will probably be costly as we don't
batch the icache maintenance anymore.

Alexandre Ghiti c97bf62996 riscv: Fix text patching when IPI are used
For now, we use stop_machine() to patch the text and when we use IPIs for
remote icache flushes (which is emitted in patch_text_nosync()), the system
hangs.

So instead, make sure every CPU executes the stop_machine() patching
function and emit a local icache flush there.

The __set_fixmap() function only flushes the current cpu tlb, it does

the current task is not migrated on another cpu which could miss the
newly introduced fixmap mapping.

So in order to avoid any task migration, disable the preemption.

Conor Dooley 2a8db5ec4a RISC-V: Don't check text_mutex during stop_machine
We're currently using stop_machine() to update ftrace & kprobes, which
means that the thread that takes text_mutex during may not be the same
as the thread that eventually patches the code.  This isn't actually a
race because the lock is still held (preventing any other concurrent
accesses) and there is only one thread running during stop_machine(),
but it does trigger a lockdep failure.

This patch just elides the lockdep check during stop_machine.

Zong Li 0ff7c3b331 riscv: Use text_mutex instead of patch_lock
We don't need the additional lock protection when patching the text.

There are two patching interfaces here:
 - patch_text: patch code and always synchronize with stop_machine()
 - patch_text_nosync: patch code without synchronization, it's caller's
                      responsibility to synchronize all CPUs if needed.

For the first one, stop_machine() is protected by its own mutex, and
also the irq is already disabled here.

For the second one, in risc-v real case now, it would be used to ftrace
patching the mcount function, since it already running under
kstop_machine(), no other thread will run, so we could use text_mutex
on ftrace side.

On strict kernel memory permission, we couldn't patch code without
writable permission. Preserve two holes in fixmap area, so we can map
the kernel code temporarily to fixmap area, then patch the instructions.

We need two pages here because we support the compressed instruction, so
the instruction might be align to 2 bytes. When patching the 32-bit
length instruction which is 2 bytes alignment, it will across two pages.

Introduce two interfaces to patch kernel code:
riscv_patch_text_nosync:
 - patch code without synchronization, it's caller's responsibility to
   synchronize all CPUs if needed.
