From 602033ed5907a59ce86f709082a35be047743a86 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 12:07:21 -0700 Subject: Revert most of "x86: Fix alternatives and kprobes to remap write-protected kernel text" This reverts most of commit 19d36ccdc34f5ed444f8a6af0cbfdb6790eb1177. The way to DEBUG_RODATA interactions with KPROBES and CPU hotplug is to just not mark the text as being write-protected in the first place. Both of those facilities depend on rewriting instructions. Having "helpful" debug facilities that just cause more problem is not being helpful. It just adds complexity and bugs. Not worth it. Reported-by: Rafael J.
