2018-10-20	powerpc/ftrace: Handle large kernel configs	Naveen N. Rao	1	-0/+12
	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.

2018-05-03	powerpc: Only support DYNAMIC_FTRACE not static	Michael Ellerman	1	-29/+0
	We've had dynamic ftrace support for over 9 years since Steve first wrote it, all the distros use dynamic, and static is basically untested these days, so drop support for static ftrace.

2017-04-27	powerpc/ftrace/64: Split further based on -mprofile-kernel	Naveen N. Rao	1	-305/+1
	Split ftrace_64.S further retaining the core ftrace 64-bit aspects in ftrace_64.S and moving ftrace_caller() and ftrace_graph_caller() into separate files based on -mprofile-kernel. The livepatch routines are all now contained within the mprofile file. Signed-off-by: Naveen N. Rao <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
2017-04-27	powerpc: Split ftrace bits into a separate file	Naveen N. Rao	1	-0/+389
	entry_*.S now includes a lot more than just kernel entry/exit code. As a first step at cleaning this up, let's split out the ftrace bits into separate files. Also move all related tracing code into a new trace/ subdirectory. No functional changes. Suggested-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
