Subject: [PATCH v2 00/10] s390: Consistent usage of text_mutex
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 15:30:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261027143030.3154657-1-hca@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

v2:
- Use text mutex for all callers of s390_kernel_write(), and add lockdep
  checking. [Based on a review comment from Ilya Leoshkevich, and also
  Sashiko feedback]

- Note: this takes now the mutex also at places where it is technically
  not necessary (e.g. ftrace init nop patching). However this is not much
  of a difference to before, where the spinlock in s390_kernel_write()
  was always taken instead

v1:
Other architectures serialize kernel text patching with text_mutex. s390
does not: __s390_kernel_write() relies on a private spinlock, and callers
partially depend on implicit exclusion (e.g. no kprobe can be set on a
jump label).

Make s390 consistent with other architectures:

- Patches 1-3 add text_mutex to the jump_label, ftrace and bpf text
  patching paths

- Patch 4 removes the redundant spinlock from __s390_kernel_write().
  CPU serialization, previously done implicitly, is now explicit via
  sync_core()

Thanks,
Heiko
