[RFC PATCH] text_poke/ftrace/x86: Allow text_poke() to be called in early boot

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

 



From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently text_poke() just does a simple memcpy() on early boot because
the kernel code is read writable at that time. But ftrace uses text_poke
on the ftrace trampoline, which is not part of kernel text, and having non
kernel text around that can be writable and executable causes several
special cases where checks for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING needs to be
done to ignore this special case. This is tricky and can lead to memory
that can be kernel writable and executable after boot (due to bugs).

By moving poking_init() to mm_init() which is called before ftrace_init(),
this will allow ftrace to create its trampoline as read only, and the
text_poke() will do its normal thing.

This required some updates to fork and the maple_tree code to allow it to
be called with enabling interrupts in the time when interrupts must remain
disabled.

text_poke() will still use memcpy() on kernel core text during boot up as
it keeps things fast for all static_branch()es and such as well as
modifying the ftrace locations at boot up too.

This removes the special code added around ftrace trampolines in x86 to be
writable and executable during boot up.
