Subject: arm64/ftrace: fix inadvertent BUG() in trampoline check
From: Ard Biesheuvel <ard.biesheuvel@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5a3ae7b314a2259b1188b22b392f5eba01e443ee upstream.
The ftrace trampoline code (which deals with modules loaded out of
BL range of the core kernel) uses plt_entries_equal() to check whether
the per-module trampoline equals a zero buffer, to decide whether the
trampoline has already been initialized.
This triggers a BUG() in the opcode manipulation code, since we end
up checking the ADRP offset of a 0x0 opcode, which is not an ADRP
instruction.
So instead, add a helper to check whether a PLT is initialized, and
call that from the frace code.
