From: Andy Chiu <andy.chiu@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8547649981e6631328cd64f583667501ae385531 ] In RISCV, we must use an AUIPC + JALR pair to encode an immediate, forming a jump that jumps to an address over 4K. This may cause errors if we want to enable kernel preemption and remove dependency from patching code with stop_machine(). For example, if a task was switched out on auipc. And, if we changed the ftrace function before it was switched back, then it would jump to an address that has updated 11:0 bits mixing with previous XLEN:12 part. p: patched area performed by dynamic ftrace ftrace_prologue: p| REG_S ra, -SZREG(sp) p| auipc ra, 0x? ------------> preempted ... change ftrace function ... p| jalr -?(ra) <------------- switched back p| REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp) func: xxx ret Fixes: afc76b8b8011 ("riscv: Using PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT") Signed-off-by: Andy Chiu <andy.chiu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Guo Ren <guoren@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230112090603.1295340-2-guoren@xxxxxxxxxx Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/riscv/Kconfig | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/arch/riscv/Kconfig b/arch/riscv/Kconfig index ae11d5647f9d4..06b9b2f60b9fb 100644 --- a/arch/riscv/Kconfig +++ b/arch/riscv/Kconfig @@ -278,7 +278,7 @@ config ARCH_RV64I select HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE select HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD if !XIP_KERNEL select HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER - select HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER if !XIP_KERNEL + select HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACER if !XIP_KERNEL && !PREEMPTION select SWIOTLB if MMU endchoice -- 2.39.2
