Whoops, I accidentally nuked the more complete/accurate analysis I just wrote and sent the earlier version. Today is not a good day for me and computers. :( What's happened here is that __d_lookup() (via a few layers of inlining) called load_unaligned_zeropad(). The `LDR` at the start of the asm faulted (I suspect due to a tag check fault), and so the exception handler replaced the PC with the (anonymous) fixup function. This is akin to a tail or sibling call, and so the fixup function entirely replaces __d_lookup() in the trace. The fixup function itself has an `LDR` which faulted (because it's designed to fixup page alignment problems, not tag check faults), and that is what's reported here. As the fixup function is anonymous, and the nearest prior symbol in .text is __entry_tramp_text_end, it gets symbolized as an offset from that. We can make the unwinds a bit nicer by adding some markers (e.g. patch below), but actually fixing this case will require some more thought. Thanks, Mark. ---->8---- diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S b/arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S index 709d2c433c5e..127096a0faea 100644 --- a/arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S +++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S @@ -111,6 +111,11 @@ jiffies = jiffies_64; #define TRAMP_TEXT #endif +#define FIXUP_TEXT \ + __fixup_text_start = .; \ + *(.fixup); \ + __fixup_text_end = .; + /* * The size of the PE/COFF section that covers the kernel image, which * runs from _stext to _edata, must be a round multiple of the PE/COFF @@ -161,7 +166,7 @@ SECTIONS IDMAP_TEXT HIBERNATE_TEXT TRAMP_TEXT - *(.fixup) + FIXUP_TEXT *(.gnu.warning) . = ALIGN(16); *(.got) /* Global offset table */
