<title>arm64/module: ftrace: deal with place relative nature of PLTs</title>

<content type='text'>
Another bodge for the ftrace PLT code: plt_entries_equal() now takes
the place relative nature of the ADRP/ADD based PLT entries into
account, which means that a struct trampoline instance on the stack
is no longer equal to the same set of opcodes in the module struct,
given that they don't point to the same place in memory anymore.

Work around this by using memcmp() in the ftrace PLT handling code.

<id>urn:sha1:5a3ae7b314a2259b1188b22b392f5eba01e443ee</id>
<content type='text'>
The ftrace trampoline code (which deals with modules loaded out of
BL range of the core kernel) uses plt_entries_equal() to check whether
the per-module trampoline equals a zero buffer, to decide whether the
trampoline has already been initialized.

This triggers a BUG() in the opcode manipulation code, since we end
up checking the ADRP offset of a 0x0 opcode, which is not an ADRP
instruction.

So instead, add a helper to check whether a PLT is initialized, and
call that from the frace code.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Rework of the kprobe/uprobe and synthetic events to consolidate all
   the dynamic event code. This will make changes in the future easier.

 - Partial rewrite of the function graph tracing infrastructure. This
   will allow for multiple users of hooking onto functions to get the
   callback (return) of the function. This is the ground work for having
   kprobes and function graph tracer using one code base.

 - Clean up of the histogram code that will facilitate adding more
   features to the histograms in the future.

 - Addition of str_has_prefix() and a few use cases. There currently is
   a similar function strstart() that is used in a few places, but only
   returns a bool and not a length. These instances will be removed in
   the future to use str_has_prefix() instead.

 - A few other various clean ups as well.

Pull arm64 festive updates from Will Deacon:
 "In the end, we ended up with quite a lot more than I expected:

   - Support for ARMv8.3 Pointer Authentication in userspace (CRIU and
     kernel-side support to come later)

   - Support for per-thread stack canaries, pending an update to GCC
     that is currently undergoing review

   - Support for kexec_file_load(), which permits secure boot of a kexec
     payload but also happens to improve the performance of kexec
     dramatically because we can avoid the sucky purgatory code from
     userspace. Kdump will come later (requires updates to libfdt).

   - Optimisation of our dynamic CPU feature framework, so that all
     detected features are enabled via a single stop_machine()
     invocation

   - KPTI whitelisting of Cortex-A CPUs unaffected by Meltdown, so that
     they can benefit from global TLB entries when KASLR is not in use

   - 52-bit virtual addressing for userspace (kernel remains 48-bit)

   - Patch in LSE atomics for per-cpu atomic operations

   - Custom preempt.h implementation to avoid unconditional calls to
     preempt_schedule() from preempt_enable()

   - Support for the new 'SB' Speculation Barrier instruction

   - Vectorised implementation of XOR checksumming and CRC32
     optimisations

   - Workaround for Cortex-A76 erratum #1165522

   - Improved compatibility with Clang/LLD

   - Support for TX2 system PMUS for profiling the L3 cache and DMC

   - Reflect read-only permissions in the linear map by default

   - Ensure MMIO reads are ordered with subsequent calls to Xdelay()

   - Initial support for memory hotplug

   - Tweak the threshold when we invalidate the TLB by-ASID, so that
     mremap() performance is improved for ranges spanning multiple PMDs.

   - Minor refactoring and cleanups"

<title>arm64: ftrace: Set FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP before ftrace_modify_all_code()</title>

<content type='text'>
It has been reported that ftrace_replace_code() which is called by
ftrace_modify_all_code() can cause a soft lockup warning for an
allmodconfig kernel. This is because all the debug options enabled
causes the loop in ftrace_replace_code() (which loops over all the
functions being enabled where there can be 10s of thousands), is too
slow, and never schedules out.

To solve this, setting FTRACE_MAY_SLEEP to the command passed into
ftrace_replace_code() will make it call cond_resched() in the loop,
which prevents the soft lockup warning from triggering.

<content type='text'>
The core ftrace hooks take the instrumented PC in x0, but for some
reason arm64's prepare_ftrace_return() takes this in x1.

For consistency, let's flip the argument order and always pass the
instrumented PC in x0.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.

The function_graph_enter() function does the work of calling the function
graph hook function and the management of the shadow stack, simplifying the
work done in the architecture dependent prepare_ftrace_return().

Have arm64 use the new code, and remove the shadow stack management as well as
having to set up the trace structure.

This is needed to prepare for a fix of a design bug on how the curr_ret_stack
is used.

<title>arm64/module: switch to ADRP/ADD sequences for PLT entries</title>

<content type='text'>
Now that we have switched to the small code model entirely, and
reduced the extended KASLR range to 4 GB, we can be sure that the
targets of relative branches that are out of range are in range
for a ADRP/ADD pair, which is one instruction shorter than our
current MOVN/MOVK/MOVK sequence, and is more idiomatic and so it
is more likely to be implemented efficiently by micro-architectures.

So switch over the ordinary PLT code and the special handling of
the Cortex-A53 ADRP errata, as well as the ftrace trampline
handling.

<id>urn:sha1:be0f272bfc83797f70d44faca86954df62e2bbc0</id>
<content type='text'>
When building the arm64 kernel with both CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS and
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE enabled, the ftrace-mod.o object file is built
with the kernel and contains a trampoline that is linked into each
module, so that modules can be loaded far away from the kernel and
still reach the ftrace entry point in the core kernel with an ordinary
relative branch, as is emitted by the compiler instrumentation code
dynamic ftrace relies on.

In order to be able to build out of tree modules, this object file
needs to be included into the linux-headers or linux-devel packages,
which is undesirable, as it makes arm64 a special case (although a
precedent does exist for 32-bit PPC).

Given that the trampoline essentially consists of a PLT entry, let's
not bother with a source or object file for it, and simply patch it
in whenever the trampoline is being populated, using the existing
PLT support routines.
