We have the jump-label stuff to do self modifying code ;-) The only thing we need to be careful with is data-layout.
So I'm _hoping_ we can do all this without more CONFIG knobs, because {PREEMPT*SMP*CGROUP^3*NUMA^2} is already entirely annoying to build and run test, not to mention that distro builds will have no other option than to enable everything anyhow. [unhandled content-type:application/pgp-signature] | |
