- Merged tag ftrace-v6.12-rc4 There was a fix to locking in register_ftrace_graph() for shadow stacks that was sent upstream. But this code was also being rewritten, and the locking fix was needed. Merging this fix was required to continue the work. - Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use with kretprobes With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is required. Move out function graph specific fields from the fgraph infrastructure and store it on the new stack variables that can pass data from the entry callback to the exit callback. Hopefully, with this change, the merge of kretprobes to use fgraph shadow stacks will be ready by the next merge window. - Make shadow stack 4k instead of using PAGE_SIZE. Some architectures have very large PAGE_SIZE values which make its use for shadow stacks waste a lot of memory. - Give shadow stacks its own kmem cache. When function graph is started, every task on the system gets a shadow stack. In the future, shadow stacks may not be 4K in size. Have it have its own kmem cache so that whatever size it becomes will still be efficient in allocations. - Initialize profiler graph ops as it will be needed for new updates to fgraph - Convert to use guard(mutex) for several ftrace and fgraph functions - Add more comments and documentation - Show function return address in function graph tracer Add an option to show the caller of a function at each entry of the function graph tracer, similar to what the function tracer does. - Abstract out ftrace_regs from being used directly like pt_regs ftrace_regs was created to store a partial pt_regs. It holds only the registers and stack information to get to the function arguments and return values. On several archs, it is simply a wrapper around pt_regs. But some users would access ftrace_regs directly to get the pt_regs which will not work on all archs. Make ftrace_regs an abstract structure that requires all access to its fields be through accessor functions. - Show how long it takes to do function code modifications When code modification for function hooks happen, it always had the time recorded in how long it took to do the conversion. But this value was never exported. Recently the code was touched due to new ROX modification handling that caused a large slow down in doing the modifications and had a significant impact on boot times. Expose the timings in the dyn_ftrace_total_info file. This file was created a while ago to show information about memory usage and such to implement dynamic function tracing. It's also an appropriate file to store the timings of this modification as well. This will make it easier to see the impact of changes to code modification on boot up timings. - Other clean ups and small fixes -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIoEABYIADIWIQRRSw7ePDh/lE+zeZMp5XQQmuv6qgUCZztrUxQccm9zdGVkdEBn b29kbWlzLm9yZwAKCRAp5XQQmuv6qnnNAQD6w4q9VQ7oOE2qKLqtnj87h4c1GqKn SPkpEfC3n/ATEAD/fnYjT/eOSlHiGHuD/aTA+U/bETrT99bozGM/4mFKEgY= =6nCa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ftrace-v6.13' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace Pull ftrace updates from Steven Rostedt: - Restructure the function graph shadow stack to prepare it for use with kretprobes With the goal of merging the shadow stack logic of function graph and kretprobes, some more restructuring of the function shadow stack is required.

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 reStructuredText 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.
