[PATCH v3 1/3] arm64: unwind: add asynchronous unwind tables to kernel and modules

Ard Biesheuvel ardb at kernel.org
Mon Jun 13 06:40:06 PDT 2022


Enable asynchronous unwind table generation for both the core kernel as
well as modules, and emit the resulting .eh_frame sections as init code
so we can use the unwind directives for code patching at boot or module
load time.

This will be used by dynamic shadow call stack support, which will rely
on code patching rather than compiler codegen to emit the shadow call
stack push and pop instructions.
