guoren@kernel.org <guoren@kernel.org> says: From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com> The previous ftrace detour implementation fc76b8b8011 ("riscv: Using PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT") contain three problems. - The most horrible bug is preemption panic which found by Andy [1]. Let's disable preemption for ftrace first, and Andy could continue the ftrace preemption work. - The "-fpatchable-function-entry= CFLAG" wasted code size !RISCV_ISA_C. - The ftrace detour implementation wasted code size. - When livepatching, the trampoline (ftrace_regs_caller) would not return to <func_prolog+12> but would rather jump to the new function. So, "REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp)" would not run and the original return address would not be restored. The kernel is likely to hang or crash as a result. (Found by Evgenii Shatokhin [4]) [Palmer: The first three patches in this series are pretty concrete fixes, so I'm pulling them ahead of the rest of the series.] * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: ftrace: Reduce the detour code size to half riscv: ftrace: Remove wasted nops for !RISCV_ISA_C riscv: ftrace: Fixup panic by disabling preemption Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230112090603.1295340-1-guoren@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com> |

README
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
