[PATCH 5.15.y 1/2] powerpc/ftrace: Create a dummy stackframe to fix stack unwind

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

 



commit 41a506ef71eb38d94fe133f565c87c3e06ccc072 upstream.

With ppc64 -mprofile-kernel and ppc32 -pg, profiling instructions to
call into ftrace are emitted right at function entry. The instruction
sequence used is minimal to reduce overhead. Crucially, a stackframe is
not created for the function being traced. This breaks stack unwinding
since the function being traced does not have a stackframe for itself.
As such, it never shows up in the backtrace:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace
        Depth    Size   Location    (17 entries)

Fix this by having ftrace create a dummy stackframe for the function
being traced. With this, backtraces now capture the function being
traced:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace
        Depth    Size   Location    (17 entries)

  4)     2880     176   vma_alloc_folio+0xd8/0x540
  5)     2704     416   __handle_mm_fault+0x700/0x1cc0
  6)     2288      96   handle_mm_fault+0xf0/0x3f0
  7)     2192      48   ___do_page_fault+0x3e4/0xbe0
  8)     2144     192   do_page_fault+0x30/0xc0
  9)     1952     608   data_access_common_virt+0x210/0x220
 10)     1344      16   0xc0000000334bbb50
 11)     1328     416   load_elf_binary+0x804/0x1b80
 12)      912      64   bprm_execve+0x2d8/0x7e0
 13)      848     176   do_execveat_common+0x1d0/0x2f0
 14)      672     192   sys_execve+0x54/0x70
 15)      480      64   system_call_exception+0x138/0x350
 16)      416     416   system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4

This results in two additional stores in the ftrace entry code, but
produces reliable backtraces.
