powerpc overrides kprobes::alloc_insn_page() to remove writable permissions when STRICT_MODULE_RWX is on. Add definition of EXECMEM_KRPOBES to execmem_params to allow using the generic kprobes::alloc_insn_page() with the desired permissions. As powerpc uses breakpoint instructions to inject kprobes, it does not need to constrain kprobe allocations to the modules area and can use the entire vmalloc address space.

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 reStructuredText 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.
