From: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The function ftrace_process_locs() will modify text code, so we should give a text_mutex lock. Because some arch's patch code will assert held of text_mutex even during start_kernel-> ftrace_init(). backtrace log: assert by lockdep_assert_held(&text_mutex) 0 patch_insn_write (addr=0xffffffe0000010fc <set_reset_devices+10>, insn=0xffffffe001203eb8, len=8) at arch/riscv/kernel/patch.c:63 1 0xffffffe0002042ec in patch_text_nosync (addr=<optimized out>, insns=<optimized out>, len=<optimized out>) at arch/riscv/kernel/patch.c:93 2 0xffffffe00020628e in __ftrace_modify_call (hook_pos=<optimized out>, target=<optimized out>, enable=<optimized out>) at arch/riscv/kernel/ftrace.c:68 3 0xffffffe0002063c0 in ftrace_make_nop (mod=<optimized out>, rec=0xffffffe001221c70 <text_mutex+96>, addr=18446743936272720288) at arch/riscv/kernel/ftrace.c:97 4 0xffffffe0002b13f0 in ftrace_init_nop (rec=<optimized out>, mod=<optimized out>) at ./include/linux/ftrace.h:647 5 ftrace_nop_initialize (rec=<optimized out>, mod=<optimized out>) at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2619 6 ftrace_update_code (new_pgs=<optimized out>, mod=<optimized out>) at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:3063 7 ftrace_process_locs (mod=<optimized out>, start=<optimized out>, end=<optimized out>) at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:6154 8 0xffffffe00000b6e6 in ftrace_init () at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:6715 9 0xffffffe000001b48 in start_kernel () at init/main.c:888 10 0xffffffe0000010a8 in _start_kernel () at arch/riscv/kernel/head.S:247 Signed-off-by: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> --- kernel/trace/ftrace.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c index 1903b80..4b48b88 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/ftrace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/ftrace.c @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ #include <linux/uaccess.h> #include <linux/bsearch.h> #include <linux/module.h> +#include <linux/memory.h> #include <linux/ftrace.h> #include <linux/sysctl.h> #include <linux/slab.h> @@ -6712,9 +6713,11 @@ void __init ftrace_init(void) last_ftrace_enabled = ftrace_enabled = 1; + mutex_lock(&text_mutex); ret = ftrace_process_locs(NULL, __start_mcount_loc, __stop_mcount_loc); + mutex_unlock(&text_mutex); pr_info("ftrace: allocated %ld pages with %ld groups\n", ftrace_number_of_pages, ftrace_number_of_groups); -- 2.7.4
