[Xen-devel] [PATCH v7 3/5] livepatch: NOP if func->new_addr is zero.



The NOP functionality will NOP any of the code at
the 'old_addr' or at 'name' if the 'new_addr' is zero.
The purpose of this is to NOP out calls, such as:

 e8 <4-bytes-offset>

(5 byte insn), or on ARM a 4 byte insn for branching.

We need the EIP of where we need to the NOP, and that can
be provided via the `old_addr` or `name`.

If the `old_addr` is provided we will NOP 'new_size'
amount of bytes at that location.

The amount is up to 31 instructions if desired (which is
the size of the opaque member). If there is a need to NOP
more then: a) more 'struct livepatch_func' structures need
to be present, b) we have to implement a variable size
buffer (in the future), or c) first byte an unconditional
branch skipping the to be disabled code (of course provided
there are no branch targets in the middle).

While at it, also unify the code on x86 patching so
it is a bit simpler (instead of two seperate writes
just make it one memcpy).

And introduce a general livepatch_insn_len inline function
that would depend on platform specific instruction size
(for a unconditional branch). As such we also rename the
PATCH_INSN_SIZE to ARCH_PATCH_INSN_SIZE.

v3: First submission
v4: Fix description - e9 -> e8
    Remove the restriction of only doing 5 or 4 bytes.
    Redo the patching code to deal with variable size of new_size.
    Expand the amount of bytes we can NOP.
    Move the PATCH_INSN_SIZE definition in platform specific headers
    Move the get_len to livepatch_get_insn_len inline function.
v5: s/PATCH_INSN_SIZE/ARCH_PATCH_INSN_SIZE/
    s/arch_livepatch_insn_len/livepatch_insn_len/
    s/size_t len/unsigned int len/
    Add in commit description the c) mechanism (insert an unconditional
    branch).
v6: Expand in the documentation about the old_addr being at least 5.
v7: Added the extra entry in the MAINTAINERS file.
  - Expanded on the livepatch.markdown the description.
  - Used add_nops(insn, .. instead of add_nops(&insn, ..)
