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 (e71a4e1beb ("arm64: ftrace: add support for far
branches to dynamic ftrace")). Since no instructions were being patched,
no cache maintenance was needed. However, later in be0f272bfc ("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.

Another bodge for the ftrace PLT code: plt_entries_equal() now takes
the place relative nature of the ADRP/ADD based PLT entries into
account, which means that a struct trampoline instance on the stack
is no longer equal to the same set of opcodes in the module struct,
given that they don't point to the same place in memory anymore.
Work around this by using memcmp() in the ftrace PLT handling code.

The ftrace trampoline code (which deals with modules loaded out of
BL range of the core kernel) uses plt_entries_equal() to check whether
the per-module trampoline equals a zero buffer, to decide whether the
trampoline has already been initialized.
This triggers a BUG() in the opcode manipulation code, since we end
up checking the ADRP offset of a 0x0 opcode, which is not an ADRP
instruction.
So instead, add a helper to check whether a PLT is initialized, and
call that from the frace code.

It has been reported that ftrace_replace_code() which is called by
ftrace_modify_all_code() can cause a soft lockup warning for an
allmodconfig kernel. This is because all the debug options enabled
causes the loop in ftrace_replace_code() (which loops over all the
functions being enabled where there can be 10s of thousands), is too
slow, and never schedules out.
To solve this, setting FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP to the command passed into
ftrace_replace_code() will make it call cond_resched() in the loop,
which prevents the soft lockup warning from triggering.

Now that we have switched to the small code model entirely, and
reduced the extended KASLR range to 4 GB, we can be sure that the
targets of relative branches that are out of range are in range
for a ADRP/ADD pair, which is one instruction shorter than our
current MOVN/MOVK/MOVK sequence, and is more idiomatic and so it
is more likely to be implemented efficiently by micro-architectures.
So switch over the ordinary PLT code and the special handling of

When building the arm64 kernel with both CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS and
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled, the ftrace-mod.o object file is built
with the kernel and contains a trampoline that is linked into each
module, so that modules can be loaded far away from the kernel and
still reach the ftrace entry point in the core kernel with an ordinary
relative branch, as is emitted by the compiler instrumentation code
dynamic ftrace relies on.
In order to be able to build out of tree modules, this object file
needs to be included into the linux-headers or linux-devel packages,
which is undesirable, as it makes arm64 a special case (although a
precedent does exist for 32-bit PPC).
Given that the trampoline essentially consists of a PLT entry, let's
not bother with a source or object file for it, and simply patch it
in whenever the trampoline is being populated, using the existing
PLT support routines.

When a kernel is built without CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS, we don't
generate the expected branch instruction in ftrace_make_nop(). This
means we pass zero (rather than a valid branch) to ftrace_modify_code()
as the expected instruction to validate. This causes us to return
-EINVAL to the core ftrace code for a valid case, resulting in a splat
at boot time.
This was an unintended effect of commit:
687644209a ("arm64: ftrace: fix building without CONFIG_MODULES")
... which incorrectly moved the generation of the branch instruction
into the ifdef for CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS.
This patch fixes the issue by moving the ifdef inside of the relevant
if-else case, and always checking that the branch is in range,
regardless of CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS. This ensures that we generate
the expected branch instruction, and also improves our sanity checks.
For consistency, both ftrace_make_nop() and ftrace_make_call() are
updated with this pattern.

Since on arm64, all patching of branch instructions involves function

Storing this value will help prevent unwinders from getting out of sync
with the function graph tracer ret_stack. Now instead of needing a
stateful iterator, they can compare the return address pointer to find
the right ret_stack entry.
Note that an array of 50 ftrace_ret_stack structs is allocated for every
task. So when an arch implements this, it will add either 200 or 400
bytes of memory usage per task (depending on whether it's a 32-bit or

Function graph tracer modifies a return address (LR) in a stack frame by
calling ftrace_prepare_return() in a traced function's function prologue.
The current code does this modification before preserving an original
address at ftrace_push_return_trace() and there is always a small window
of inconsistency when an interrupt occurs.
This doesn't matter, as far as an interrupt stack is introduced, because
stack tracer won't be invoked in an interrupt context. But it would be
better to proactively minimize such a window by moving the LR modification
after ftrace_push_return_trace().

a module is being unloaded and before the text goes away and this
code grabs the ftrace_lock mutex and removes the module functions
from the ftrace list, such that it will no longer do any
modifications to that module's text, the update to make functions
be traced or not is done under the ftrace_lock mutex as well.
And by now, __init section codes should not been modified

This patch allows "dynamic ftrace" if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is enabled.
Here we can turn on and off tracing dynamically per-function base.
On arm64, this is done by patching single branch instruction to _mcount()
inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at
kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when
enabled or branch to NOP when disabled.
Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of
'static' ftrace.

This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers,

(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER).
With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with
timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is
specified, call graph is generated.
The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted
at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's
entry as long as tracing is enabled.
In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's
exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link
register's value to intercept function's return path.
