Subject: [PATCH] arm/Kconfig.debug: CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX and insn patching are mutually exclusive
Date: Thu, 20 Feb 2014 12:44:23 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140220174422.GA27412@redacted.bos.redhat.com> (raw)

With both options set, we're seeing an Oops while loading bridge.ko, as
netfilter is trying to use jump labels on the module .text after it's
been marked read-only. I'll cook up a patch to do what X86 does and
remap the page read-write while it's being patched, but for 3.14, we
should mark them as exclusive so others don't hit this crash.
