powerpc/ftrace: Fix stack teardown in ftrace_no_trace

2023-12-20T14:44:41+00:00

commit 4b3338aaa74d7d4ec5b6734dc298f0db94ec83d2 upstream.

Commit 41a506ef71eb ("powerpc/ftrace: Create a dummy stackframe to fix
stack unwind") added use of a new stack frame on ftrace entry to fix
stack unwind. However, the commit missed updating the offset used while
tearing down the ftrace stack when ftrace is disabled. Fix the same.

In addition, the commit missed saving the correct stack pointer in
pt_regs. Update the same.

powerpc/ftrace: Create a dummy stackframe to fix stack unwind

2023-12-20T14:44:41+00:00

commit 41a506ef71eb38d94fe133f565c87c3e06ccc072 upstream.

With ppc64 -mprofile-kernel and ppc32 -pg, profiling instructions to
call into ftrace are emitted right at function entry. The instruction
sequence used is minimal to reduce overhead. Crucially, a stackframe is
not created for the function being traced. This breaks stack unwinding
since the function being traced does not have a stackframe for itself.
As such, it never shows up in the backtrace:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace

Fix this by having ftrace create a dummy stackframe for the function
being traced. With this, backtraces now capture the function being
traced:

/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace
        Depth    Size   Location    (17 entries)

  7)     2192      48   ___do_page_fault+0x3e4/0xbe0

  9)     1952     608   data_access_common_virt+0x210/0x220

 13)      848     176   do_execveat_common+0x1d0/0x2f0

 16)      416     416   system_call_common+0x160/0x2c4

This results in two additional stores in the ftrace entry code, but
produces reliable backtraces.

powerpc: Add a ppc_inst_as_str() helper

2020-07-23T07:41:36+00:00

There are quite a few places where instructions are printed, this is
done using a '%x' format specifier. With the introduction of prefixed
instructions, this does not work well. Currently in these places,
ppc_inst_val() is used for the value for %x so only the first word of
prefixed instructions are printed.

When the instructions are word instructions, only a single word should
be printed. For prefixed instructions both the prefix and suffix should
be printed. To accommodate both of these situations, instead of a '%x'
specifier use '%s' and introduce a helper, __ppc_inst_as_str() which
returns a char *. The char * __ppc_inst_as_str() returns is buffer that
is passed to it by the caller.

It is cumbersome to require every caller of __ppc_inst_as_str() to now
declare a buffer. To make it more convenient to use __ppc_inst_as_str(),
wrap it in a macro that uses a compound statement to allocate a buffer
on the caller's stack before calling it.

powerpc: Use a function for reading instructions

2020-05-18T14:10:37+00:00

Prefixed instructions will mean there are instructions of different
length. As a result dereferencing a pointer to an instruction will not
necessarily give the desired result. Introduce a function for reading
instructions from memory into the instruction data type.

powerpc: Use a datatype for instructions

2020-05-18T14:10:37+00:00

Currently unsigned ints are used to represent instructions on powerpc.
This has worked well as instructions have always been 4 byte words.

However, ISA v3.1 introduces some changes to instructions that mean
this scheme will no longer work as well. This change is Prefixed
Instructions. A prefixed instruction is made up of a word prefix
followed by a word suffix to make an 8 byte double word instruction.
No matter the endianness of the system the prefix always comes first.
Prefixed instructions are only planned for powerpc64.

Introduce a ppc_inst type to represent both prefixed and word
instructions on powerpc64 while keeping it possible to exclusively
have word instructions on powerpc32.
