<content type='text'>
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.

<title>powerpc/kprobes: Use ftrace to determine if a probe is at function entry</title>

<id>urn:sha1:be87d713eaddf0421ccd61cc060c4c29bc36fc9b</id>
<content type='text'>
Rather than hard-coding the offset into a function to be used to
determine if a kprobe is at function entry, use ftrace_location() to
determine the ftrace location within the function and categorize all
instructions till that offset to be function entry.

For functions that cannot be traced, we fall back to using a fixed
offset of 8 (two instructions) to categorize a probe as being at
function entry for 64-bit elfv2, unless we are using pcrel.

<title>powerpc: Replace kretprobe code with rethook on powerpc</title>
<updated>2024-09-05T12:25:36Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=19f1bc3fb55452739dd3d56cfd06c29ecdbe3e9f'/>
<id>urn:sha1:19f1bc3fb55452739dd3d56cfd06c29ecdbe3e9f</id>
<content type='text'>
This is an adaptation of commit f3a112c0c40d ("x86,rethook,kprobes:
Replace kretprobe with rethook on x86") to powerpc.

Rethook follows the existing kretprobe implementation, but separates
it from kprobes so that it can be used by fprobe (ftrace-based
function entry/exit probes). As such, this patch also enables fprobe
to work on powerpc. The only other change compared to the existing
kretprobe implementation is doing the return address fixup in
arch_rethook_fixup_return().

Reference to other archs:
commit b57c2f124098 ("riscv: add riscv rethook implementation")
commit 7b0a096436c2 ("LoongArch: Replace kretprobe with rethook")

Note:
=====

In future, rethook will be only for kretprobe, and kretprobe
will be replaced by fprobe.

https://lore.kernel.org/all/172000134410.63468.13742222887213469474.stgit@devnote2/

We will	adapt the above	implementation for powerpc once its upstream.
Until then, we can have	this implementation of rethook to serve
current	kretprobe usecases.

<title>powerpc: extend execmem_params for kprobes allocations</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

<id>urn:sha1:12af2b83d0b17ec8b379b721dd4a8fbcd5d791f3</id>
<content type='text'>
module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code.

Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems
that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and
puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code.

Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various
constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes
additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation.

Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc()
and execmem_free() APIs.

Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and
execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all
call sites to use the new APIs.

Since architectures define different restrictions on placement,
permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by
different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes
a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to
allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that
subsystem.

No functional changes.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - Add powerpc qspinlock implementation optimised for large system
   scalability and paravirt. See the merge message for more details

 - Enable objtool to be built on powerpc to generate mcount locations

 - Use a temporary mm for code patching with the Radix MMU, so the
   writable mapping is restricted to the patching CPU

 - Add an option to build the 64-bit big-endian kernel with the ELFv2
   ABI

 - Sanitise user registers on interrupt entry on 64-bit Book3S

 - Many other small features and fixes

preempt_enable_no_resched() is just the same as preempt_enable() when we
are in a irqs disabled context. kprobe_handler() and the post/fault
handlers are all called with irqs disabled. As such, convert those to
just use preempt_enable().
