Peter Zijlstra be2422612a s390/module: Use s390_kernel_write() for late relocations
Because of late module patching, a livepatch module needs to be able to
apply some of its relocations well after it has been loaded.  Instead of
playing games with module_{dis,en}able_ro(), use existing text poking
mechanisms to apply relocations after module loading.

So far only x86, s390 and Power have HAVE_LIVEPATCH but only the first
two also have STRICT_MODULE_RWX.

This will allow removal of the last module_disable_ro() usage in
livepatch.  The ultimate goal is to completely disallow making
executable mappings writable.

[ jpoimboe: Split up patches.  Use mod state to determine whether
	    memcpy() can be used.  Test and add fixes. ]

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
