* powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -fpatchable-function-entryNaveen N Rao2023-08-221-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GCC v13.1 updated support for -fpatchable-function-entry on ppc64le to emit nops after the local entry point, rather than before it. This allows us to use this in the kernel for ftrace purposes. A new script is added under arch/powerpc/tools/ to help detect if nops are emitted after the function local entry point, or before the global entry point. With -fpatchable-function-entry, we no longer have the profiling instructions generated at function entry, so we only need to validate the presence of two nops at the ftrace location in ftrace_init_nop(). We patch the preceding instruction with 'mflr r0' to match the -mprofile-kernel ABI for subsequent ftrace use. This changes the profiling instructions used on ppc32. The default -pg option emits an additional 'stw' instruction after 'mflr r0' and before the branch to _mcount 'bl _mcount'. This is very similar to the original -mprofile-kernel implementation on ppc64le, where an additional 'std' instruction was used to save LR to its save location in the caller's stackframe. Subsequently, this additional store was removed in later compiler versions for performance reasons. The same reasons apply for ppc32 so we only patch in a 'mflr r0'.

* arch: split MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions out to <asm/vermagic.h>Masahiro Yamada2020-04-231-0/+20
As the bug report [1] pointed out, <linux/vermagic.h> must be included after <linux/module.h>. I believe we should not impose any include order restriction. We often sort include directives alphabetically, but it is just coding style convention. Technically, we can include header files in any order by making every header self-contained. Currently, arch-specific MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC is defined in <asm/module.h>, which is not included from <linux/vermagic.h>. Hence, the straight-forward fix-up would be as follows: |--- a/include/linux/vermagic.h |+++ b/include/linux/vermagic.h |@@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ | /* SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 */ | #include <generated/utsrelease.h> |+#include <linux/module.h> | | /* Simply sanity version stamp for modules. */ | #ifdef CONFIG_SMP This works enough, but for further cleanups, I split MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions into <asm/vermagic.h>. With this, <linux/module.h> and <linux/vermagic.h> will be orthogonal, and the location of MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definitions will be consistent. For arc and ia64, MODULE_PROC_FAMILY is only used for defining MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC. I squashed it. For hexagon, nds32, and xtensa, I removed <asm/modules.h> entirely because they contained nothing but MODULE_ARCH_VERMAGIC definition. Kbuild will automatically generate <asm/modules.h> at build-time, wrapping <asm-generic/module.h>.
