      powerpc: Define and use PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2/v1 · f55d9665
      Michael Ellerman 提交于
      We're approaching 20 locations where we need to check for ELF ABI v2.
      That's fine, except the logic is a bit awkward, because we have to check
      that _CALL_ELF is defined and then what its value is.
      
      So check it once in asm/types.h and define PPC64_ELF_ABI_v2 when ELF ABI
      v2 is detected.
      
      We also have a few places where what we're really trying to check is
      that we are using the 64-bit v1 ABI, ie. function descriptors. So also
      add a #define for that, which simplifies several checks.

      powerpc/ftrace: Add support for -mprofile-kernel ftrace ABI · 15308664
      Torsten Duwe 提交于
      The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel defines a new ABI for calling _mcount()
      very early in the function with minimal overhead.
      
      Although mprofile-kernel has been available since GCC 3.4, there were
      bugs which were only fixed recently. Currently it is known to work in
      GCC 4.9, 5 and 6.
      
      Additionally there are two possible code sequences generated by the
      flag, the first uses mflr/std/bl and the second is optimised to omit the
      std. Currently only gcc 6 has the optimised sequence. This patch
      supports both sequences.
      
      Initial work started by Vojtech Pavlik, used with permission.
      
      Key changes:
       - rework _mcount() to work for both the old and new ABIs.
       - implement new versions of ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller()
         which deal with the new ABI.
       - updates to __ftrace_make_nop() to recognise the new mcount calling
         sequence.
       - updates to __ftrace_make_call() to recognise the nop'ed sequence.
       - implement ftrace_modify_call().
       - updates to the module loader to surpress the toc save in the module
         stub when calling mcount with the new ABI.

      powerpc/ftrace: Implement raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC · 02424d89
      Ian Munsie 提交于
      This patch implements the raw syscall tracepoints on PowerPC and exports
      them for ftrace syscalls to use.
      
      To minimise reworking existing code, I slightly re-ordered the thread
      info flags such that the new TIF_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT bit would still fit
      within the 16 bits of the andi. instruction's UI field. The instructions
      in question are in /arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_{32,64}.S to and the
      _TIF_SYSCALL_T_OR_A with the thread flags to see if system call tracing
      is enabled.
      
      In the case of 64bit PowerPC, arch_syscall_addr and
      arch_syscall_match_sym_name are overridden to allow ftrace syscalls to
      work given the unusual system call table structure and symbol names that
      start with a period.

      ftrace: nmi safe code modification · 17666f02
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      Impact: fix crashes that can occur in NMI handlers, if their code is modified
      
      Modifying code is something that needs special care. On SMP boxes,
      if code that is being modified is also being executed on another CPU,
      that CPU will have undefined results.
      
      The dynamic ftrace uses kstop_machine to make the system act like a
      uniprocessor system. But this does not address NMIs, that can still
      run on other CPUs.
      
      One approach to handle this is to make all code that are used by NMIs
      not be traced. But NMIs can call notifiers that spread throughout the
      kernel and this will be very hard to maintain, and the chance of missing
      a function is very high.
      
      The approach that this patch takes is to have the NMIs modify the code
      if the modification is taking place. The way this works is that just
      writing to code executing on another CPU is not harmful if what is
      written is the same as what exists.
      
      Two buffers are used: an IP buffer and a "code" buffer.
      
      The steps that the patcher takes are:
      
       1) Put in the instruction pointer into the IP buffer
          and the new code into the "code" buffer.
       2) Set a flag that says we are modifying code
       3) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
       4) Write the code
       5) clear the flag.
       6) Wait for any running NMIs to finish.
      
      If an NMI is executed, it will also write the pending code.
      Multiple writes are OK, because what is being written is the same.
      Then the patcher must wait for all running NMIs to finish before
      going to the next line that must be patched.
      
      This is basically the RCU approach to code modification.
      
      Thanks to Ingo Molnar for suggesting the idea, and to Arjan van de Ven
      for his guidence on what is safe and what is not.
