arm64: ftrace: fix unreachable PLT for ftrace_caller in init_module with CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE

2025-09-05T15:56:20Z

On arm64, it has been possible for a module's sections to be placed more than 128M away from each other since commit: commit 3e35d303ab7d ("arm64: module: rework module VA range selection") Due to this, an ftrace callsite in a module's .init.text section can be out of branch range for the module's ftrace PLT entry (in the module's .text section). Any attempt to enable tracing of that callsite will result in a BRK being patched into the callsite, resulting in a fatal exception when the callsite is later executed. Fix this by adding an additional trampoline for .init.text, which will be within range. No additional trampolines are necessary due to the way a given module's executable sections are packed together. Any executable section beginning with ".init" will be placed in MOD_INIT_TEXT, and any other executable section, including those beginning with ".exit", will be placed in MOD_TEXT.

ftrace: Add ftrace_get_symaddr to convert fentry_ip to symaddr

2024-12-26T15:50:07Z

This introduces ftrace_get_symaddr() which tries to convert fentry_ip passed by ftrace or fgraph callback to symaddr without calling kallsyms API. It returns the symbol address or 0 if it fails to convert it.

fgraph: Pass ftrace_regs to entryfunc

2024-12-26T15:50:02Z

Pass ftrace_regs to the fgraph_ops::entryfunc(). If ftrace_regs is not available, it passes a NULL instead. User callback function can access some registers (including return address) via this ftrace_regs. Note that the ftrace_regs can be NULL when the arch does NOT define: HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS or HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. More specifically, if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is defined but not the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and the ftrace ops used to register the function callback does not set FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS. In this case, ftrace_regs can be NULL in user callback.

asm-generic: introduce text-patching.h

Several architectures support text patching, but they name the header files that declare patching functions differently. Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty header in asm-generic for architectures that do not support text patching.

ftrace: Make ftrace_regs abstract from direct use

2024-10-11T00:18:01Z

ftrace_regs was created to hold registers that store information to save function parameters, return value and stack. Since it is a subset of pt_regs, it should only be used by its accessor functions. But because pt_regs can easily be taken from ftrace_regs (on most archs), it is tempting to use it directly. But when running on other architectures, it may fail to build or worse, build but crash the kernel! Instead, make struct ftrace_regs an empty structure and have the architectures define __arch_ftrace_regs and all the accessor functions will typecast to it to get to the actual fields. This will help avoid usage of ftrace_regs directly.

arm64: module: mandate MODULE_PLTS

2023-06-06T16:39:05Z

Contemporary kernels and modules can be relatively large, especially when common debug options are enabled. Using GCC 12.1.0, a v6.3-rc7 defconfig kernel is ~38M, and with PROVE_LOCKING + KASAN_INLINE enabled this expands to ~117M. Shanker reports [1] that the NVIDIA GPU driver alone can consume 110M of module space in some configurations. Both KASLR and ARM64_ERRATUM_843419 select MODULE_PLTS, so anyone wanting a kernel to have KASLR or run on Cortex-A53 will have MODULE_PLTS selected. This is the case in defconfig and distribution kernels (e.g. Debian, Android, etc). Practically speaking, this means we're very likely to need MODULE_PLTS and while it's almost guaranteed that MODULE_PLTS will be selected, it is possible to disable support, and we have to maintain some awkward special cases for such unusual configurations. This patch removes the MODULE_PLTS config option, with the support code always enabled if MODULES is selected. This results in a slight simplification, and will allow for further improvement in subsequent patches. For any config which currently selects MODULE_PLTS, there will be no functional change as a result of this patch.
