Tacing with kprobes while running a monolithic kernel is currently impossible due the kernel module allocator dependency. Address the issue by implementing textmem API for RISC-V.

This is the arch where I use the patch on a daily basis to help with QA. - Introduce HAVE_KPROBES_ALLOC flag to help with more gradual migration. --- arch/riscv/Kconfig | 1 + arch/riscv/kernel/Makefile | 3 +++ arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 26 insertions(+) create mode 100644 arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c diff --git a/arch/riscv/Kconfig b/arch/riscv/Kconfig index e3142ce531a0..499512fb17ff 100644 --- a/arch/riscv/Kconfig +++ b/arch/riscv/Kconfig @@ -132,6 +132,7 @@ config RISCV select HAVE_KPROBES if !XIP_KERNEL select HAVE_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE if !XIP_KERNEL select HAVE_KRETPROBES if !XIP_KERNEL + select HAVE_ALLOC_EXECMEM if !XIP_KERNEL # https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1881 select HAVE_LD_DEAD_CODE_DATA_ELIMINATION if !LD_IS_LLD select HAVE_MOVE_PMD diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/Makefile b/arch/riscv/kernel/Makefile index 604d6bf7e476..337797f10d3e 100644 --- a/arch/riscv/kernel/Makefile +++ b/arch/riscv/kernel/Makefile @@ -73,6 +73,9 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_SMP) += cpu_ops.o obj-$(CONFIG_RISCV_BOOT_SPINWAIT) += cpu_ops_spinwait.o obj-$(CONFIG_MODULES) += module.o +ifeq ($(CONFIG_ALLOC_EXECMEM),y) +obj-y += execmem.o +endif obj-$(CONFIG_MODULE_SECTIONS) += module-sections.o obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_PM) += suspend_entry.o suspend.o diff --git a/arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c b/arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..3e52522ead32 --- /dev/null +++ b/arch/riscv/kernel/execmem.c @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later + +#include <linux/mm.h> +#include <linux/execmem.h> +#include <linux/vmalloc.h> +#include <asm/sections.h> + +void *alloc_execmem(unsigned long size, gfp_t /* gfp */) +{ + return __vmalloc_node_range(size, 1, MODULES_VADDR, + MODULES_END, GFP_KERNEL, + PAGE_KERNEL, 0, NUMA_NO_NODE, + __builtin_return_address(0)); +} + +void free_execmem(void *region) +{ + if (in_interrupt()) + pr_warn("In interrupt context: vmalloc may not work.\n"); + + vfree(region); +} -- 2.44.0
