Linus Torvalds 77d6465695 There's been a few memory issues found with ftrace.
One was simply a memory leak where not all was being freed that should
 have been in releasing a file pointer on set_graph_function.
 
 Then Thomas found that the ftrace trampolines were marked for read/write
 as well as execute. To shrink the possible attack surface, he added
 calls to set them to ro. Which also uncovered some other issues with
 freeing module allocated memory that had its permissions changed.
 
 Kprobes had a similar issue which is fixed and a selftest was added
 to trigger that issue again.
