I don't understand what you mean here. Does it mean kprobe allocation
doesn't need to be executable ? I don't think so based on the pgprot you
set.
On powerpc book3s/32, vmalloc space is not executable. Only modules
space is executable. X/NX cannot be set on a per page basis, it can only
be set on a 256 Mbytes segment basis.
See commit c49643319715 ("powerpc/32s: Only leave NX unset on segments
used for modules") and 6ca055322da8 ("powerpc/32s: Use dedicated segment
for modules with STRICT_KERNEL_RWX") and 7bee31ad8e2f ("powerpc/32s: Fix
is_module_segment() when MODULES_VADDR is defined").
So if your intention is still to have an executable kprobes, then you
can't use vmalloc address space.
