JIRA: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-14156 Conflicts: Backport of upstream commit ea73179e6413. Conflicts in ftrace.h file resolved appropriately owing to missing commits d95bf254be5f & f3993a0330e2. Conflict in sections.h file due to missing commit b150a4d12b91 resolved. Conflict due to missing commit c2cba93d1a5e resolved in ftrace.c. commit ea73179e64131bcd29ba6defd33732abdf8ca14b Author: Naveen N Rao <naveen@kernel.org> Date: Tue Feb 13 23:24:10 2024 +0530 powerpc/ftrace: Ignore ftrace locations in exit text sections Michael reported that we are seeing an ftrace bug on bootup when KASAN is enabled and we are using -fpatchable-function-entry: ftrace: allocating 47780 entries in 18 pages ftrace-powerpc: 0xc0000000020b3d5c: No module provided for non-kernel address ------------[ ftrace bug ]------------ ftrace faulted on modifying [<c0000000020b3d5c>] 0xc0000000020b3d5c Initializing ftrace call sites ftrace record flags: 0 (0) expected tramp: c00000000008cef4 ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2180 ftrace_bug+0x3c0/0x424 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 PID: 0 Comm: swapper Not tainted 6.5.0-rc3-00120-g0f71dcfb4aef #860 Hardware name: IBM pSeries (emulated by qemu) POWER9 (raw) 0x4e1202 0xf000005 of:SLOF,HEAD hv:linux,kvm pSeries NIP: c0000000003aa81c LR: c0000000003aa818 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c0000000033cfab0 TRAP: 0700 Not tainted (6.5.0-rc3-00120-g0f71dcfb4aef) MSR: 8000000002021033 <SF,VEC,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 28028240 XER: 00000000 CFAR: c0000000002781a8 IRQMASK: 3 ...

Those functions then end up in INIT_TEXT and EXIT_TEXT respectively. We don't expect to see any profiled functions in EXIT_TEXT, so ftrace_init_nop() assumes that all addresses that aren't in the core kernel text belongs to a module. Since these functions do not match that criteria, we see the above bug. Address this by having ftrace ignore all locations in the text exit sections of vmlinux.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
