Removing the arg is the safest approach.

The function graph helper function prepare_ftrace_return() which does the work
to hijack the parent pointer has that parent pointer as its first parameter.
Instead, if we make it the second parameter and have ip as the first parameter

already.

Stack traces that happen from function tracing check if the address
on the stack is a __kernel_text_address(). That is, is the address
kernel code. This calls core_kernel_text() which returns true
if the address is part of the builtin kernel code. It also calls
is_module_text_address() which returns true if the address belongs
to module code.

But what is missing is ftrace dynamically allocated trampolines.
These trampolines are allocated for individual ftrace_ops that
call the ftrace_ops callback functions directly. But if they do a
stack trace, the code checking the stack wont detect them as they
are neither core kernel code nor module address space.

Adding another field to ftrace_ops that also stores the size of
the trampoline assigned to it we can create a new function called
is_ftrace_trampoline() that returns true if the address is a
dynamically allocate ftrace trampoline. Note, it ignores trampolines
that are not dynamically allocated as they will return true with
the core_kernel_text() function.

With the introduction of the dynamic trampolines, it is useful that if
things go wrong that ftrace_bug() produces more information about what
the current state is. This can help debug issues that may arise.

Ftrace has lots of checks to make sure that the state of the system it
touchs is exactly what it expects it to be. When it detects an abnormality
it calls ftrace_bug() and disables itself to prevent any further damage.
It is crucial that ftrace_bug() produces sufficient information that
can be used to debug the situation.

When the static ftrace_ops (like function tracer) enables tracing, and it
is the only callback that is referencing a function, a trampoline is
dynamically allocated to the function that calls the callback directly
instead of calling a loop function that iterates over all the registered
ftrace ops (if more than one ops is registered).

But when it comes to dynamically allocated ftrace_ops, where they may be
freed, on a CONFIG_PREEMPT kernel there's no way to know when it is safe
to free the trampoline. If a task was preempted while executing on the
trampoline, there's currently no way to know when it will be off that
trampoline.

But this is not true when it comes to !CONFIG_PREEMPT. The current method
of calling schedule_on_each_cpu() will force tasks off the trampoline,
becaues they can not schedule while on it (kernel preemption is not
configured). That means it is safe to free a dynamically allocated
ftrace ops trampoline when CONFIG_PREEMPT is not configured.

The current method of handling multiple function callbacks is to register
a list function callback that calls all the other callbacks based on
their hash tables and compare it to the function that the callback was
called on. But this is very inefficient.

For example, if you are tracing all functions in the kernel and then
add a kprobe to a function such that the kprobe uses ftrace, the
mcount trampoline will switch from calling the function trace callback
to calling the list callback that will iterate over all registered
ftrace_ops (in this case, the function tracer and the kprobes callback).
That means for every function being traced it checks the hash of the
ftrace_ops for function tracing and kprobes, even though the kprobes
is only set at a single function. The kprobes ftrace_ops is checked
for every function being traced!

Instead of calling the list function for functions that are only being
traced by a single callback, we can call a dynamically allocated
trampoline that calls the callback directly. The function graph tracer
already uses a direct call trampoline when it is being traced by itself
but it is not dynamically allocated. It's trampoline is static in the
kernel core. The infrastructure that called the function graph trampoline
can also be used to call a dynamically allocated one.

For now, only ftrace_ops that are not dynamically allocated can have
a trampoline. That is, users such as function tracer or stack tracer.
kprobes and perf allocate their ftrace_ops, and until there's a safe
way to free the trampoline, it can not be used. The dynamically allocated
ftrace_ops may, although, use the trampoline if the kernel is not
compiled with CONFIG_PREEMPT. But that will come later.

ftrace_stop() is going away as it disables parts of function tracing

function tracing because something went wrong with function graph
tracing.

Instead of disabling all users of function tracing on function graph
error, disable only function graph tracing. To do this, the arch code
must call ftrace_graph_is_dead() before it implements function graph.

Ftrace modifies function calls using Int3 breakpoints on x86.
The breakpoints are handled only when the patching is in progress.
If something goes wrong, there is a recovery code that removes
the breakpoints. If this fails, the system might get silently
rebooted when a remaining break is not handled or an invalid
instruction is proceed.

We should BUG() when the breakpoint could not be removed. Otherwise,
the system silently crashes when the function finishes the Int3
handler is disabled.

Note that we need to modify remove_breakpoint() to return non-zero
value only when there is an error. The return value was ignored before,

If a failure occurs while enabling a trace, it bails out and will remove
the tracepoints to be back to what the code originally was. But the fix
up had some bugs in it. By injecting a failure in the code, the fix up
ran to completion, but shortly afterward the system rebooted.

There was two bugs here.

The first was that there was no final sync run across the CPUs after the
fix up was done, and before the ftrace int3 handler flag was reset. That
means that other CPUs could still see the breakpoint and trigger on it
long after the flag was cleared, and the int3 handler would think it was
a spurious interrupt. Worse yet, the int3 handler could hit other breakpoints
because the ftrace int3 handler flag would have prevented the int3 handler
from going further.

Here's a description of the issue:

	CPU0				CPU1
	----				----
  remove_breakpoint();
  modifying_ftrace_code = 0;

				[still sees breakpoint]
				<takes trap>
				[sees modifying_ftrace_code as zero]
				[no breakpoint handler]
				[goto failed case]
				[trap exception - kernel breakpoint, no
				 handler]
				BUG()

The second bug was that the removal of the breakpoints required the
"within()" logic updates instead of accessing the ip address directly.
As the kernel text is mapped read-only when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is set, and
the removal of the breakpoint is a modification of the kernel text.
The ftrace_write() includes the "within()" logic, where as, the
probe_kernel_write() does not. This prevented the breakpoint from being
removed at all.

Add a way to have different functions calling different trampolines.
If a ftrace_ops wants regs saved on the return, then have only the
functions with ops registered to save regs. Functions registered by
other ops would not be affected, unless the functions overlap.

If one ftrace_ops registered functions A, B and C and another ops
registered fucntions to save regs on A, and D, then only functions
A and D would be saving regs. Function B and C would work as normal.
Although A is registered by both ops: normal and saves regs; this is fine
as saving the regs is needed to satisfy one of the ops that calls it
but the regs are ignored by the other ops function.

x86_64 implements the full regs saving, and i386 just passes a NULL
for regs to satisfy the ftrace_ops passing. Where an arch must supply
both regs and ftrace_ops parameters, even if regs is just NULL.

It is OK for an arch to pass NULL regs. All function trace users that
require regs passing must add the flag FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS when
registering the ftrace_ops. If the arch does not support saving regs
then the ftrace_ops will fail to register. The flag
FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS_IF_SUPPORTED may be set that will prevent the
ftrace_ops from failing to register. In this case, the handler may
either check if regs is not NULL or check if ARCH_SUPPORTS_FTRACE_SAVE_REGS.
If the arch supports passing regs it will set this macro and pass regs
for ops that request them. All other archs will just pass NULL.

On boot up and module load, it is fine to modify the code directly,
without the use of breakpoints. This is because boot up modification
is done before SMP is initialized, thus the modification is serial,
and module load is done before the module executes.

But after that we must use a SMP safe method to modify running code.
Otherwise, if we are running the function tracer and update its
function (by starting off the stack tracer, or perf tracing)
the change of the function called by the ftrace trampoline is done
directly. If this is being executed on another CPU, that CPU may
take a GPF and crash the kernel.

The breakpoint method is used to change the nops at all the functions, but
the change of the ftrace callback handler itself was still using a
direct modification. If tracing was enabled and the function callback
was changed then another CPU could fault if it was currently calling
the original callback. This modification must use the breakpoint method
too.

Note, the direct method is still used for boot up and module load.

When the function tracer starts modifying the code via breakpoints
it sets a variable (modifying_ftrace_code) to inform the breakpoint
handler to call the ftrace int3 code.

But there's no synchronization between setting this code and the
handler, thus it is possible for the handler to be called on another
CPU before it sees the variable. This will cause a kernel crash as
the int3 handler will not know what to do with it.

I originally added smp_mb()'s to force the visibility of the variable

As ftrace function tracing would require modifying code that could
be executed in NMI context, which is not stopped with stop_machine(),
ftrace had to do a complex algorithm with various stages of setup
and memory barriers to make it work.

With the new breakpoint method, this is no longer required. The changes
to the code can be done without any problem in NMI context, as well as
without stop machine altogether. Remove the complex code as it is
no longer needed.

Also, a lot of the notrace annotations could be removed from the
NMI code as it is now safe to trace them. With the exception of
do_nmi itself, which does some special work to handle running in
the debug stack. The breakpoint method can cause NMIs to double
nest the debug stack if it's not setup properly, and that is done
in do_nmi(), thus that function must not be traced.

Currently the index to the ret_stack is updated and the real return address
is saved in the ret_stack. Then we call the trace function. The trace
function could decide that it doesn't want to trace this function
(ex. set_graph_function does not match) and it will return 0 which means
not to trace this call.

The normal function graph tracer has this code:

	if (!(trace->depth || ftrace_graph_addr(trace->func)) ||
	      ftrace_graph_ignore_irqs())
		return 0;

What this states is, if the trace depth (which is curr_ret_stack)
is zero (top of nested functions) then test if we want to trace this
function. If this function is not to be traced, then return  0 and
the rest of the function graph tracer logic will not trace this function.

The problem arises when an interrupt comes in after we updated the
curr_ret_stack. The next function that gets called will have a trace->depth
of 1. Which fools this trace code into thinking that we are in a nested
function, and that we should trace. This causes interrupts to be traced
when they should not be.

The solution is to trace the function first and then update the ret_stack.

This patch is a logical extension of the protection provided by
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to LKMs. The protection is provided by
splitting module_core and module_init into three logical parts
each and setting appropriate page access permissions for each
individual section:

 1. Code: RO+X
 2. RO data: RO+NX
 3. RW data: RW+NX

In order to achieve proper protection, layout_sections() have
been modified to align each of the three parts mentioned above
onto page boundary. Next, the corresponding page access
permissions are set right before successful exit from
load_module(). Further, free_module() and sys_init_module have
been modified to set module_core and module_init as RW+NX right
before calling module_free().

By default, the original section layout and access flags are
preserved. When compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX=y,
the patch will page-align each group of sections to ensure that
each page contains only one type of content and will enforce
RO/NX for each group of pages.

  -v1: Initial proof-of-concept patch.
  -v2: The patch have been re-written to reduce the number of #ifdefs
       and to make it architecture-agnostic. Code formatting has also
       been corrected.
  -v3: Opportunistic RO/NX protection is now unconditional. Section
       page-alignment is enabled when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA=y.
  -v4: Removed most macros and improved coding style.
  -v5: Changed page-alignment and RO/NX section size calculation
  -v6: Fixed comments. Restricted RO/NX enforcement to x86 only
  -v7: Introduced CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, added
       calls to set_all_modules_text_rw() and set_all_modules_text_ro()
       in ftrace
  -v8: updated for compatibility with linux 2.6.33-rc5
  -v9: coding style fixes
 -v10: more coding style fixes
 -v11: minor adjustments for -tip
 -v12: minor adjustments for v2.6.35-rc2-tip
 -v13: minor adjustments for v2.6.37-rc1-tip

Move Steve's code for finding the best 5-byte no-op from ftrace.c to
alternative.c. The idea is that other consumers (in this case jump label)
want to make use of that code.

The code in stop_machine that modifies the kernel text has a bit
of logic to handle the case of NMIs. stop_machine does not prevent
NMIs from executing, and if an NMI were to trigger on another CPU
as the modifying CPU is changing the NMI text, a GPF could result.

To prevent the GPF, the NMI calls ftrace_nmi_enter() which may
modify the code first, then any other NMIs will just change the
text to the same content which will do no harm. The code that
stop_machine called must wait for NMIs to finish while it changes
each location in the kernel. That code may also change the text
to what the NMI changed it to. The key is that the text will never
change content while another CPU is executing it.

To make the above work, the call to ftrace_nmi_enter() must also
do a smp_mb() as well as atomic_inc().  But for applications like
perf that require a high number of NMIs for profiling, this can have
a dramatic effect on the system. Not only is it doing a full memory
barrier on both nmi_enter() as well as nmi_exit() it is also
modifying a global variable with an atomic operation. This kills
performance on large SMP machines.

Since the memory barriers are only needed when ftrace is in the
process of modifying the text (which is seldom), this patch
adds a "modifying_code" variable that gets set before stop machine
is executed and cleared afterwards.

The NMIs will check this variable and store it in a per CPU
"save_modifying_code" variable that it will use to check if it
needs to do the memory barriers and atomic dec on NMI exit.

Most implementations of arch_syscall_addr() are the same, so create a
default version in common code and move the one piece that differs (the
syscall table) to asm/syscall.h.  New arch ports don't have to waste
time copying & pasting this simple function.

The s390/sparc versions need to be different, so document why.

On x86_64, kernel text mappings are mapped read-only with
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA. So use the kernel identity mapping instead
of the kernel text mapping to modify the kernel text.
