[PATCH v7 01/10] ppc64 (le): prepare for -mprofile-kernel

Torsten Duwe duwe at lst.de
Tue Jan 26 02:26:03 AEDT 2016


The gcc switch -mprofile-kernel, available for ppc64 on gcc > 4.8.5,
allows to call _mcount very early in the function, which low-level
ASM code and code patching functions need to consider.
Especially the link register and the parameter registers are still
alive and not yet saved into a new stack frame.

  * arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S:
    - modify the default _mcount to be prepared for such call sites
    - have the ftrace_graph_caller save function arguments before
      calling its C helper prepare_ftrace_return
  * arch/powerpc/include/asm/code-patching.h:
    - define some common macros to make things readable.
    - pull the R2 stack location definition from
      arch/powerpc/kernel/module_64.c
  * arch/powerpc/kernel/module_64.c:
    - enhance binary code examination to handle the new patterns.
