From: Gregory Herrero <gregory.herrero@xxxxxxxxxx>
Currently, if a section has a relocation to '_mcount' symbol, a new
__mcount_loc entry will be added whatever the relocation type is.
This is problematic when a relocation to '_mcount' is in the middle of a
section and is not a call for ftrace use.
Such relocation could be generated with below code for example:
bool is_mcount(unsigned long addr)
{
return (target == (unsigned long) &_mcount);
}
With this snippet of code, ftrace will try to patch the mcount location
generated by this code on module load and fail with:
Call trace:
ftrace_bug+0xa0/0x28c
ftrace_process_locs+0x2f4/0x430

ftrace failed to modify

actual: 66:a9:3c:90
Initializing ftrace call sites
ftrace record flags: 2000000
(0)
expected tramp: ffffa2dc6cf66724
So Limit the relocation type to R_AARCH64_CALL26 as in perl version of
recordmcount.
Fixes: ed60453fa8f8 ("ARM: 6511/1: ftrace: add ARM support for C version of recordmcount")
