Currently, we expect to be able to reach ftrace_caller() from all ftrace-enabled functions through a single relative branch. With large kernel configs, we see functions outside of 32MB of ftrace_caller() causing ftrace_init() to bail. In such configurations, gcc/ld emits two types of trampolines for mcount(): 1. A long_branch, which has a single branch to mcount() for functions that are one hop away from mcount(): c0000000019e8544 <00031b56.long_branch._mcount>: c0000000019e8544: 4a 69 3f ac b c00000000007c4f0 <._mcount> 2. A plt_branch, for functions that are farther away from mcount(): c0000000051f33f8 <0008ba04.plt_branch._mcount>: c0000000051f33f8: 3d 82 ff a4 addis r12,r2,-92 c0000000051f33fc: e9 8c 04 20 ld r12,1056(r12) c0000000051f3400: 7d 89 03 a6 mtctr r12 c0000000051f3404: 4e 80 04 20 bctr We can reuse those trampolines for ftrace if we can have those trampolines go to ftrace_caller() instead. However, with ABIv2, we cannot depend on r2 being valid. As such, we use only the long_branch trampolines by patching those to instead branch to ftrace_caller or ftrace_regs_caller. In addition, we add additional trampolines around .text and .init.text to catch locations that are covered by the plt branches. This allows ftrace to work with most large kernel configurations. For now, we always patch the trampolines to go to ftrace_regs_caller, which is slightly inefficient. This can be optimized further at a later point. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
