| |
Use the mutual exclusion provided by the text edit lock in the kprobes code. It allows coherent manipulation of the kernel code by other subsystems.
Changelog:
Move the kernel_text_lock/unlock out of the for loops. Use text_mutex directly instead of a function. Remove whitespace modifications.
(note : kprobes_mutex is always taken outside of text_mutex)
