Name:xt_poke_early - Update instructions on a live kernel at boot time*@addr: address to modify*@opcode: source of the copy*@len: length to copy* When you use this code to patch more than one byte of an instruction

Proto:void __init_or_module text_poke_early(void *addr, const void *opcode, size_t len)

Type:void

Parameter:

TypeParameterName
void *addr
const void *opcode
size_tlen
765  If boot_cpu_has(Execute Disable ) && is_module_text_address((unsignedlong)addr) Then
772  memcpy(addr, opcode, len)
773  Else
774  local_irq_save(flags)
775  memcpy(addr, opcode, len)
776  local_irq_restore(flags)
777  This function forces the icache and prefetched instruction stream to* catch up with reality in two very specific cases:* a) Text was modified using one virtual address and is about to be executed* from the same physical page at a different virtual address
Caller
NameDescribe
apply_alternativesReplace instructions with better alternatives for this CPU type. This runs* before SMP is initialized to avoid SMP problems with self modifying code.* This implies that asymmetric systems where APs have less capabilities than
