Hi Andrew, Here is the updated version of the Text Edit Lock for 2.6.23-rc3-mm1. It provides architecture agnostic synchronization for code patching and deals with i386/x86_64 modification of RO pages by clearing the WP bit around memory writes. It is useful for alternatives, paravirt, kprobes and, eventually, immediate values.
