[PATCH v2 00/10] Add ftrace direct call for arm64

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This series adds ftrace direct call support to arm64.
This makes BPF tracing programs (fentry/fexit/fmod_ret/lsm) work on arm64.

It is meant to apply on top of the arm64 tree which contains Mark Rutland's
series on CALL_OPS [1] under the for-next/ftrace tag.

The first three patches consolidate the two existing ftrace APIs for registering
direct calls. They are split to make the reviewers lives easier but if it'd be a
preferred style, I'd be happy to squash them in the next revision.
Currently, there is both a _ftrace_direct and _ftrace_direct_multi API. Apart
from samples and selftests, there are no users of the _ftrace_direct API left
in-tree so this deletes it and renames the _ftrace_direct_multi API to
_ftrace_direct for simplicity.

The main benefit of this refactoring is that, with the API that's left, an
ftrace_ops backing a direct call will only ever point to one direct call. We can
therefore store the direct called trampoline address in the ops (patch 4) and
look it up from the ftrace trampoline on arm64 (patch 7) in the case when the
destination would be out of reach of a BL instruction at the ftrace callsite.
(in this case, ftrace_caller acts as a lightweight intermediary trampoline)

This series has been tested on both arm64 and x86_64 with:
1- CONFIG_FTRACE_SELFTEST (cf: patch 6)
2- samples/ftrace/*.ko (cf: patch 9)
3- tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_progs (cf: patch 10)

Changes since v1 [2]:
- Updated the bpf selftests denylist according to newly passing tests
- Refactored the ftrace_caller assembly according to Mark's feedback
- Replaced Xu's stub trampoline patch for selftests with Mark's take on this
- Fixed direct calls on arch WITH_REGS=y and WITH_ARGS=n (x86 32-bit)
- Fixed the ftrace_regs stack alignment
- Simplified get_ftrace_plt() (cf: patch 8)
- Fixed a possible race when writing ops->direct_call
- Renamed "custom_tramp" to "direct_tramp"
- Referenced the commit id when mentioning a previous commit
- Linked the arm64 tree in the cover letter

This followed up on prior series by Xu Kuohai [3] and a RFC by me [4].
