PATCH 1/7 module: Add within_module_core() and within_module_init()

Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace within() local inline functions in kernel/module.c with them.

kprobes uses these functions to check where the kprobe is inserted.

Hi Rusty,

Hi Masami!

I like this patch, just one very minor request:

Review

+	return mod->module_core <= (void *)addr &&

+}

I mildly prefer to cast to unsigned long for the comparison. This is only because void * arithmetic is a gcc extension, which is unnecessary here.

But I don't really mind, so it's OK if you don't want to change it:

Thank you for pointing it out,
And I've also found that this patch modified behavior of __module_text_address() which checks mod->init/core_text_size instead of mod->init/core_size.
So, I decided to bring back internal within() and use it in __module_text_address().

----

Add within_module_core() and within_module_init() for checking whether an address is in the module .init.text section or .text section, and replace some within()s in kernel/module.c with them.
