[PATCH v3 1/2] arm64: implement FTRACE_WITH_REGS

Torsten Duwe duwe at lst.de
Thu Aug 11 09:36:35 PDT 2016


Once gcc is enhanced to optionally generate NOPs at the beginning
of each function, like the concept proven in
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-04/msg01671.html
(sans the "fprintf (... pad_size);", which spoils the data structure
for kernel use), the generated pads can nicely be used to reroute
function calls for tracing/profiling, or live patching.

The pads look like
fffffc00081335f0 <hrtimer_init>:
fffffc00081335f0:       d503201f        nop
fffffc00081335f4:       d503201f        nop
fffffc00081335f8:       a9bd7bfd        stp     x29, x30, [sp,#-48]!
fffffc00081335fc:       910003fd        mov     x29, sp
[...]

This patch gets the pad locations from the compiler-generated
__prolog_pads_loc into the _mcount_loc array, and provides the
code patching functions to turn the pads at runtime into

fffffc00081335f0     mov     x9, x30
fffffc00081335f4     bl      0xfffffc00080a08c0 <ftrace_caller>
fffffc00081335f8     stp     x29, x30, [sp,#-48]!
fffffc00081335fc     mov     x29, sp

as well as an ftrace_caller that can handle these call sites.
Now ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_OPS as a benefit, and the graph caller
still works, too.
