[PATCH 2/2] arm64: ftrace: add support for far branches to dynamic ftrace

Mon Apr 10 10:13:43 EDT 2017


Currently, dynamic ftrace support in the arm64 kernel assumes that all
core kernel code is within range of ordinary branch instructions in
module code, which is usually the case, but is no longer guaranteed now
that we have support for module PLTs and address space randomization.

Since all patching of branch instructions involves function calls to
ftrace_caller(), we can emit the modules with a trampoline that has
unlimited range, and patch the branch instruction to call the trampoline
if ftrace_caller() itself is out of range.
