If your compiler is not supported then you can't even compile the live patch code. I guess we have to implement it to keep the livepatch core happy, but it should just return 1. > +#define ARCH_HAVE_KLP_MATCHADDR I think the consensus these days is that we do that either via Kconfig, or using the #define foo foo pattern.

I'm not sure what the last sentence is trying to say.

Just a few instructions ago we had the kernel toc in r2, which would allow us to just do this normally. I guess we'll go with this for now, but I think we can do better in the medium term. > + std r12,LRSAVE(r1) That's the callee's LRSAVE slot, not ours, I think we can just drop that line. > + mtlr r12 > + mfctr r12 /* allow for TOC calculation in newfunc */ A comment here on the content of ctr would be helpful I think. > + bctr > +4: > +#endif > + > #ifdef CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER > stdu r1, -112(r1) > .globl ftrace_graph_call > @@ -1279,6 +1306,25 @@ _GLOBAL(ftrace_graph_stub) > #endif /* CC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL */ > _GLOBAL(ftrace_stub) > blr > +#ifdef CONFIG_LIVEPATCH > +/* Helper function for local calls that are becoming global > + due to live patching. > + We can't simply patch the NOP after the original call, > + because, depending on the consistency model, some kernel > + threads may still have called the original, local function > + *without* saving their TOC in the respective stack frame slot, > + so the decision is made per-thread during function return by > + maybe inserting a KLP_return_helper frame or not. > +*/ Can you fix the formatting on that.
