[ Upstream commit 8cfb08575c6d4585f1ce0deeb189e5c824776b04 ]

Li Huafei reports that mcount-based ftrace with module PLTs was broken
by commit:

  a6253579977e4c6f ("arm64: ftrace: consistently handle PLTs.")

When a module PLTs are used and a module is loaded sufficiently far away
from the kernel, we'll create PLTs for any branches which are
out-of-range. These are separate from the special ftrace trampoline
PLTs, which the module PLT code doesn't directly manipulate.

When mcount is in use this is a problem, as each mcount callsite in a
module will be initialized to point to a module PLT, but since commit
a6253579977e4c6f ftrace_make_nop() will assume that the callsite has
been initialized to point to the special ftrace trampoline PLT, and
ftrace_find_callable_addr() rejects other cases.

This means that when ftrace tries to initialize a callsite via
ftrace_make_nop(), the call to ftrace_find_callable_addr() will find
that the `_mcount` stub is out-of-range and is not handled by the ftrace
PLT, resulting in a splat:

Fix this by reverting to the old behaviour of ignoring the old

the behaviour prior to commit a6253579977e4c6f.

[ Upstream commit a6253579977e4c6f7818eeb05bf2bc65678a7187 ]

Sometimes it is necessary to use a PLT entry to call an ftrace
trampoline. This is handled by ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop(),
with each having *almost* identical logic, but this is not handled by
ftrace_modify_call() since its introduction in commit:

  3b23e4991fb66f6d ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs")

Due to this, if we ever were to call ftrace_modify_call() for a callsite
which requires a PLT entry for a trampoline, then either:

a) If the old addr requires a trampoline, ftrace_modify_call() will use
   an out-of-range address to generate the 'old' branch instruction.
   This will result in warnings from aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() and
   ftrace_modify_code(), and no instructions will be modified. As
   ftrace_modify_call() will return an error, this will result in
   subsequent internal ftrace errors.

b) If the old addr does not require a trampoline, but the new addr does,
   ftrace_modify_call() will use an out-of-range address to generate the
   'new' branch instruction. This will result in warnings from
   aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm(), and ftrace_modify_code() will replace
   the 'old' branch with a BRK. This will result in a kernel panic when
   this BRK is later executed.

Practically speaking, case (a) is vastly more likely than case (b), and
typically this will result in internal ftrace errors that don't
necessarily affect the rest of the system. This can be demonstrated with
an out-of-tree test module which triggers ftrace_modify_call(), e.g.

We can solve this by consistently determining whether to use a PLT entry
for an address.

Note that since (the earlier) commit:

  f1a54ae9af0da4d7 ("arm64: module/ftrace: intialize PLT at load time")

... we can consistently determine the PLT address that a given callsite
will use, and therefore ftrace_make_nop() does not need to skip
validation when a PLT is in use.

This patch factors the existing logic out of ftrace_make_call() and
ftrace_make_nop() into a common ftrace_find_callable_addr() helper
function, which is used by ftrace_make_call(), ftrace_make_nop(), and
ftrace_modify_call(). In ftrace_make_nop() the patching is consistently
validated by ftrace_modify_code() as we can always determine what the
old instruction should have been.

[ Upstream commit 3eefdf9d1e406f3da47470b2854347009ffcb6fa ]

The branch range checks in ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop() are
incorrect, erroneously permitting a forwards branch of 128M and
erroneously rejecting a backwards branch of 128M.

This is because both functions calculate the offset backwards,
calculating the offset *from* the target *to* the branch, rather than
the other way around as the later comparisons expect.

If an out-of-range branch were erroeously permitted, this would later be
rejected by aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() as branch_imm_common() checks
the bounds correctly, resulting in warnings and the placement of a BRK
instruction. Note that this can only happen for a forwards branch of
exactly 128M, and so the caller would need to be exactly 128M bytes
below the relevant ftrace trampoline.

If an in-range branch were erroeously rejected, then:

* For modules when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=y, this would result in the
  use of a PLT entry, which is benign.

  Note that this is the common case, as this is selected by
  CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE (and therefore RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL),
  which distributions typically seelct. This is also selected by
  CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419.

* For modules when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=n, this would result in
  internal ftrace failures.

* For core kernel text, this would result in internal ftrace failues.

  Note that for this to happen, the kernel text would need to be at
  least 128M bytes in size, and typical configurations are smaller tha
  this.

Fix this by calculating the offset *from* the branch *to* the target in
both functions.

Now that we no longer refer to mod-&gt;arch.ftrace_trampolines in the body
of ftrace_make_call(), we can use IS_ENABLED() rather than ifdeffery,
and make the code easier to follow. Likewise in ftrace_make_nop().

Let's do so.

<content type='text'>
This patch implements FTRACE_WITH_REGS for arm64, which allows a traced
function's arguments (and some other registers) to be captured into a
struct pt_regs, allowing these to be inspected and/or modified. This is
a building block for live-patching, where a function's arguments may be
forwarded to another function. This is also necessary to enable ftrace
and in-kernel pointer authentication at the same time, as it allows the
LR value to be captured and adjusted prior to signing.

Using GCC's -fpatchable-function-entry=N option, we can have the
compiler insert a configurable number of NOPs between the function entry
point and the usual prologue. This also ensures functions are AAPCS
compliant (e.g. disabling inter-procedural register allocation).

For example, with -fpatchable-function-entry=2, GCC 8.1.0 compiles the
following:

| unsigned long bar(void);
|
| unsigned long foo(void)
| {
|         return bar() + 1;
| }

... to:

| &lt;foo&gt;:
|         nop
|         nop
|         stp     x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
|         mov     x29, sp
|         bl      0 &lt;bar&gt;
|         add     x0, x0, #0x1
|         ldp     x29, x30, [sp], #16
|         ret

This patch builds the kernel with -fpatchable-function-entry=2,
prefixing each function with two NOPs. To trace a function, we replace
these NOPs with a sequence that saves the LR into a GPR, then calls an
ftrace entry assembly function which saves this and other relevant
registers:

| mov	x9, x30
| bl	&lt;ftrace-entry&gt;

Since patchable functions are AAPCS compliant (and the kernel does not
use x18 as a platform register), x9-x18 can be safely clobbered in the
patched sequence and the ftrace entry code.

There are now two ftrace entry functions, ftrace_regs_entry (which saves
all GPRs), and ftrace_entry (which saves the bare minimum). A PLT is
allocated for each within modules.

Currently we lazily-initialize a module's ftrace PLT at runtime when we
install the first ftrace call. To do so we have to apply a number of
sanity checks, transiently mark the module text as RW, and perform an
IPI as part of handling Neoverse-N1 erratum #1542419.

We only expect the ftrace trampoline to point at ftrace_caller() (AKA
FTRACE_ADDR), so let's simplify all of this by intializing the PLT at
module load time, before the module loader marks the module RO and
performs the intial I-cache maintenance for the module.

Thus we can rely on the module having been correctly intialized, and can
simplify the runtime work necessary to install an ftrace call in a
module. This will also allow for the removal of module_disable_ro().

Tested by forcing ftrace_make_call() to use the module PLT, and then
loading up a module after setting up ftrace with:

| echo ":mod:&lt;module-name&gt;" &gt; set_ftrace_filter;
| echo function &gt; current_tracer;
| modprobe &lt;module-name&gt;

Since FTRACE_ADDR is only defined when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is
selected, we wrap its use along with most of module_init_ftrace_plt()
with ifdeffery rather than using IS_ENABLED().

CPUs affected by Neoverse-N1 #1542419 may execute a stale instruction if
it was recently modified. The affected sequence requires freshly written
instructions to be executable before a branch to them is updated.

There are very few places in the kernel that modify executable text,
all but one come with sufficient synchronisation:
 * The module loader's flush_module_icache() calls flush_icache_range(),
   which does a kick_all_cpus_sync()
 * bpf_int_jit_compile() calls flush_icache_range().
 * Kprobes calls aarch64_insn_patch_text(), which does its work in
   stop_machine().
 * static keys and ftrace both patch between nops and branches to
   existing kernel code (not generated code).

The affected sequence is the interaction between ftrace and modules.
The module PLT is cleaned using __flush_icache_range() as the trampoline
shouldn't be executable until we update the branch to it.

Drop the double-underscore so that this path runs kick_all_cpus_sync()
too.

<title>arm64: ftrace: Ensure module ftrace trampoline is coherent with I-side</title>

The initial support for dynamic ftrace trampolines in modules made use
of an indirect branch which loaded its target from the beginning of
a special section (e71a4e1bebaf7 ("arm64: ftrace: add support for far
branches to dynamic ftrace")). Since no instructions were being patched,
no cache maintenance was needed. However, later in be0f272bfc83 ("arm64:
ftrace: emit ftrace-mod.o contents through code") this code was reworked
to output the trampoline instructions directly into the PLT entry but,
unfortunately, the necessary cache maintenance was overlooked.

Add a call to __flush_icache_range() after writing the new trampoline
instructions but before patching in the branch to the trampoline.
