From dc1dd184c2f0016bec35c0d7a48c057e0ad763d3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Poimboeuf Date: Tue, 20 Feb 2018 11:37:52 -0600 Subject: jump_label: Warn on failed jump_label patching attempt Currently when the jump label code encounters an address which isn't recognized by kernel_text_address(), it just silently fails. This can be dangerous because jump labels are used in a variety of places, and are generally expected to work. Convert the silent failure to a warning. This won't warn about attempted writes to tracepoints in __init code after initmem has been freed, as those are already guarded by the entry->code check.
