[PATCH 4.9 036/177] ARM: 8668/1: ftrace: Fix dynamic ftrace with DEBUG_RODATA and !FRAME_POINTER

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Abel Vesa <abelvesa@xxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit 6f05d0761af612e04572ba4d65b4c0274a88444f ]

The support for dynamic ftrace with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA involves
overriding the weak arch_ftrace_update_code() with a variant which makes
the kernel text writable around the patching.

This override was however added under the CONFIG_OLD_MCOUNT ifdef, and
CONFIG_OLD_MCOUNT is only enabled if frame pointers are enabled.

This leads to non-functional dynamic ftrace (ftrace triggers a
WARN_ON()) when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled and CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
is not.

Move the override out of that ifdef and into the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
ifdef where it belongs.

Fixes: 80d6b0c2eed2a ("ARM: mm: allow text and rodata sections to be read-only")
