The previous patch ("function_graph: Support recording and printing
the return value of function") has laid the groundwork for the for
the funcgraph-retval, and this modification makes it available on
the ARM64 platform.
We introduce a new structure called fgraph_ret_regs for the ARM64
platform to hold return registers and the frame pointer. We then
fill its content in the return_to_handler and pass its address to
the function ftrace_return_to_handler to record the return value.

This builds up on the CALL_OPS work which extends the ftrace patchsite
on arm64 with an ops pointer usable by the ftrace trampoline.
This ops pointer is valid at all time. Indeed, it is either pointing to
ftrace_list_ops or to the single ops which should be called from that
patchsite.
There are a few cases to distinguish:
- If a direct call ops is the only one tracing a function:
- If the direct called trampoline is within the reach of a BL
instruction
-> the ftrace patchsite jumps to the trampoline
- Else
-> the ftrace patchsite jumps to the ftrace_caller trampoline which
reads the ops pointer in the patchsite and jumps to the direct
call address stored in the ops
- Else
-> the ftrace patchsite jumps to the ftrace_caller trampoline and its
ops literal points to ftrace_list_ops so it iterates over all
registered ftrace ops, including the direct call ops and calls its
call_direct_funcs handler which stores the direct called
trampoline's address in the ftrace_regs and the ftrace_caller
trampoline will return to that address instead of returning to the
traced function

This patch enables support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS on arm64.
This allows each ftrace callsite to provide an ftrace_ops to the common
ftrace trampoline, allowing each callsite to invoke distinct tracer
functions without the need to fall back to list processing or to
allocate custom trampolines for each callsite. This significantly speeds
up cases where multiple distinct trace functions are used and callsites
are mostly traced by a single tracer.
The main idea is to place a pointer to the ftrace_ops as a literal at a
fixed offset from the function entry point, which can be recovered by
the common ftrace trampoline. Using a 64-bit literal avoids branch range
limitations, and permits the ops to be swapped atomically without
special considerations that apply to code-patching. In future this will
also allow for the implementation of DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS
without branch range limitations by using additional fields in struct
ftrace_ops.
As noted in the core patch adding support for
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS, this approach allows for directly invoking
ftrace_ops::func even for ftrace_ops which are dynamically-allocated (or
part of a module), without going via ftrace_ops_list_func.
Currently, this approach is not compatible with CLANG_CFI, as the
presence/absence of pre-function NOPs changes the offset of the
pre-function type hash, and there's no existing mechanism to ensure a
consistent offset for instrumented and uninstrumented functions. When
CLANG_CFI is enabled, the existing scheme with a global ops->func
pointer is used, and there should be no functional change. I am
currently working with others to allow the two to work together in
future (though this will liekly require updated compiler support).
I've benchamrked this with the ftrace_ops sample module [1], which is
not currently upstream, but available at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230103124912.2948963-1-mark.rutland@arm.com
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mark/linux.git ftrace-ops-sample-20230109
Using that module I measured the total time taken for 100,000 calls to a
trivial instrumented function, with a number of tracers enabled with
relevant filters (which would apply to the instrumented function) and a
number of tracers enabled with irrelevant filters (which would not apply
to the instrumented function). I tested on an M1 MacBook Pro, running
under a HVF-accelerated QEMU VM (i.e. on real hardware).

---------+------------++-------------+--------------+------------
Note: per-call overhead is estimated relative to the baseline case
with 0 relevant tracers and 0 irrelevant tracers.
As can be seen from the above:
a) Whenever there is a single relevant tracer function associated with a
tracee, the overhead of invoking the tracer is constant, and does not
scale with the number of tracers which are *not* associated with that
tracee.
b) The overhead for a single relevant tracer has dropped to ~1/7 of the
overhead prior to this series (from 13.37ns to 1.86ns). This is
largely due to permitting calls to dynamically-allocated ftrace_ops
without going through ftrace_ops_list_func.
I've run the ftrace selftests from v6.2-rc3, which reports:
| # of passed: 110
| # of failed: 0
| # of unresolved: 3
| # of untested: 0
| # of unsupported: 0
| # of xfailed: 1
| # of undefined(test bug): 0
... where the unresolved entries were the tests for DIRECT functions
(which are not supported), and the checkbashisms selftest (which is
irrelevant here):
| [8] Test ftrace direct functions against tracers [UNRESOLVED]
| [9] Test ftrace direct functions against kprobes [UNRESOLVED]
| [62] Meta-selftest: Checkbashisms [UNRESOLVED]
... with all other tests passing (or failing as expected).

Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
"The highlights this time are support for dynamically enabling and
disabling Clang's Shadow Call Stack at boot and a long-awaited
optimisation to the way in which we handle the SVE register state on
system call entry to avoid taking unnecessary traps from userspace.
Summary:
ACPI:
- Enable FPDT support for boot-time profiling
- Fix CPU PMU probing to work better with PREEMPT_RT
- Update SMMUv3 MSI DeviceID parsing to latest IORT spec
- APMT support for probing Arm CoreSight PMU devices
CPU features:
- Advertise new SVE instructions (v2.1)
- Advertise range prefetch instruction
- Advertise CSSC ("Common Short Sequence Compression") scalar
instructions, adding things like min, max, abs, popcount
- Enable DIT (Data Independent Timing) when running in the kernel
- More conversion of system register fields over to the generated
header
CPU misfeatures:
- Workaround for Cortex-A715 erratum #2645198
Dynamic SCS:
- Support for dynamic shadow call stacks to allow switching at
runtime between Clang's SCS implementation and the CPU's pointer
authentication feature when it is supported (complete with scary
DWARF parser!)
Tracing and debug:
- Remove static ftrace in favour of, err, dynamic ftrace!
- Seperate 'struct ftrace_regs' from 'struct pt_regs' in core ftrace
and existing arch code
- Introduce and implement FTRACE_WITH_ARGS on arm64 to replace the
old FTRACE_WITH_REGS
- Extend 'crashkernel=' parameter with default value and fallback to
placement above 4G physical if initial (low) allocation fails
SVE:
- Optimisation to avoid disabling SVE unconditionally on syscall
entry and just zeroing the non-shared state on return instead
Exceptions:
- Rework of undefined instruction handling to avoid serialisation on
global lock (this includes emulation of user accesses to the ID
registers)
Perf and PMU:
- Support for TLP filters in Hisilicon's PCIe PMU device
- Support for the DDR PMU present in Amlogic Meson G12 SoCs
- Support for the terribly-named "CoreSight PMU" architecture from
Arm (and Nvidia's implementation of said architecture)
Misc:
- Tighten up our boot protocol for systems with memory above 52 bits
physical
- Const-ify static keys to satisty jump label asm constraints
- Trivial FFA driver cleanups in preparation for v1.1 support
- Export the kernel_neon_* APIs as GPL symbols
- Harden our instruction generation routines against instrumentation
- A bunch of robustness improvements to our arch-specific selftests
- Minor cleanups and fixes all over (kbuild, kprobes, kfence, PMU, ...)"

The build test robot pointer out that there's a build failure when:
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=y
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n
... due to some mismatched ifdeffery, some of which checks
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and some of which checks
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, leading to some missing definitions expected
by the core code when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n and consequently
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS=n.
There's really not much point in supporting CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=n (AKA
static ftrace). All supported toolchains allow us to implement
DYNAMIC_FTRACE, distributions all prefer DYNAMIC_FTRACE, and both
powerpc and s390 removed support for static ftrace in commits:
0c0c52306f4792a4 ("powerpc: Only support DYNAMIC_FTRACE not static")
5d6a0163494c78ad ("s390/ftrace: enforce DYNAMIC_FTRACE if FUNCTION_TRACER is selected")
... and according to Steven, static ftrace is only supported on x86 to
allow testing that the core code still functions in this configuration.
Given that, let's simplify matters by removing arm64's support for
static ftrace. This avoids the problem originally reported, and leaves
us with less code to maintain.

This commit replaces arm64's support for FTRACE_WITH_REGS with support
for FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. This removes some overhead and complexity, and
removes some latent issues with inconsistent presentation of struct
pt_regs (which can only be reliably saved/restored at exception
boundaries).
FTRACE_WITH_REGS has been supported on arm64 since commit:
3b23e4991fb66f6d ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs")
As noted in the commit message, the major reasons for implementing
FTRACE_WITH_REGS were:
(1) To make it possible to use the ftrace graph tracer with pointer
authentication, where it's necessary to snapshot/manipulate the LR
before it is signed by the instrumented function.
(2) To make it possible to implement LIVEPATCH in future, where we need
to hook function entry before an instrumented function manipulates
the stack or argument registers. Practically speaking, we need to
preserve the argument/return registers, PC, LR, and SP.
Neither of these need a struct pt_regs, and only require the set of
registers which are live at function call/return boundaries. Our calling
convention is defined by "Procedure Call Standard for the Arm® 64-bit
Architecture (AArch64)" (AKA "AAPCS64"), which can currently be found
at:
https://github.com/ARM-software/abi-aa/blob/main/aapcs64/aapcs64.rst
Per AAPCS64, all function call argument and return values are held in
the following GPRs:
* X0 - X7 : parameter / result registers
* X8 : indirect result location register
* SP : stack pointer (AKA SP)
Additionally, ad function call boundaries, the following GPRs hold
context/return information:
* X29 : frame pointer (AKA FP)
* X30 : link register (AKA LR)
... and for ftrace we need to capture the instrumented address:
* PC : program counter
No other GPRs are relevant, as none of the other arguments hold
parameters or return values:
* X9 - X17 : temporaries, may be clobbered
* X18 : shadow call stack pointer (or temorary)
* X19 - X28 : callee saved
This patch implements FTRACE_WITH_ARGS for arm64, only saving/restoring
the minimal set of registers necessary. This is always sufficient to
manipulate control flow (e.g. for live-patching) or to manipulate
function arguments and return values.
This reduces the necessary stack usage from 336 bytes for pt_regs down
to 112 bytes for ftrace_regs + 32 bytes for two frame records, freeing
up 188 bytes. This could be reduced further with changes to the
unwinder.
As there is no longer a need to save different sets of registers for
different features, we no longer need distinct `ftrace_caller` and
`ftrace_regs_caller` trampolines. This allows the trampoline assembly to
be simpler, and simplifies code which previously had to handle the two
trampolines.
I've tested this with the ftrace selftests, where there are no
unexpected failures.

The 0-day bot reports that arm64 builds with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG +
CONFIG_FTRACE are broken when CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is not
enabled:
ld.lld: error: undefined symbol: __kcfi_typeid_ftrace_stub_graph

>>> arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.o:(.text+0x48) in archive vmlinux.a
This is caused by ftrace_stub_graph using SYM_TYPE_FUNC_START when
the address of the function is not taken in any C translation unit.
Fix the build by only defining ftrace_stub_graph when it's actually
needed, i.e. with CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER.

As we do in commit 0c0593b45c9b ("x86/ftrace: Make function graph
use ftrace directly"), we don't need special hook for graph tracer,
but instead we use graph_ops:func function to install return_hooker.
Since commit 3b23e4991fb6 ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs") add
implementation for FTRACE_WITH_REGS on arm64, we can easily adopt
the same cleanup on arm64.
And this cleanup only changes the FTRACE_WITH_REGS implementation,
so the mcount-based implementation is unaffected.
While in theory it would be possible to make a similar cleanup for
!FTRACE_WITH_REGS, this will require rework of the core code, and
so for now we only change the FTRACE_WITH_REGS implementation.

Now we have a macro for BTI C that looks like a regular instruction change
all the users of the current BTI_C macro to just emit a BTI C directly and
remove the macro.
This does mean that we now unconditionally BTI annotate all assembly
functions, meaning that they are worse in this respect than code generated
by the compiler. The overhead should be minimal for implementations with a
reasonable HINT implementation.

When branch target identifiers are in use, code reachable via an
indirect branch requires a BTI landing pad at the branch target site.
When building FTRACE_WITH_REGS atop patchable-function-entry, we miss
BTIs at the start start of the `ftrace_caller` and `ftrace_regs_caller`
trampolines, and when these are called from a module via a PLT (which
will use a `BR X16`), we will encounter a BTI failure, e.g.

Fix this by adding the required `BTI C`, as we only require these to be
reachable via BL for direct calls or BR X16/X17 for PLTs. For now, these
are open-coded in the function prologue, matching the style of the
`__hwasan_tag_mismatch` trampoline.
In future we may wish to consider adding a new SYM_CODE_START_*()
variant which has an implicit BTI.
When ftrace is built atop mcount, the trampolines are marked with
SYM_FUNC_START(), and so get an implicit BTI. We may need to change
these over to SYM_CODE_START() in future for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, in
case we need to apply special care aroud the return address being
rewritten.

When I tweaked the ftrace entry assembly in commit:
3b23e4991fb66f6d ("arm64: implement ftrace with regs")
... my ifdeffery tweaks left ftrace_graph_caller undefined for
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE && CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER when ftrace is
based on mcount.
The kbuild test robot reported that this issue is detected at link time:
| arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.o: In function `skip_ftrace_call':
| arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:238: undefined reference to `ftrace_graph_caller'
| arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:238:(.text+0x3c): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CONDBR19 against undefined symbol
| `ftrace_graph_caller'

| arch/arm64/kernel/entry-ftrace.S:243:(.text+0x54): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_CONDBR19 against undefined symbol
| `ftrace_graph_caller'
This patch fixes the ifdeffery so that the mcount version of
ftrace_graph_caller doesn't depend on CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE. At the same
time, a redundant #else is removed from the ifdeffery for the
patchable-function-entry version of ftrace_graph_caller.

This patch implements FTRACE_WITH_REGS for arm64, which allows a traced
function's arguments (and some other registers) to be captured into a
struct pt_regs, allowing these to be inspected and/or modified. This is
a building block for live-patching, where a function's arguments may be
forwarded to another function. This is also necessary to enable ftrace
and in-kernel pointer authentication at the same time, as it allows the
LR value to be captured and adjusted prior to signing.
Using GCC's -fpatchable-function-entry=N option, we can have the
compiler insert a configurable number of NOPs between the function entry
point and the usual prologue. This also ensures functions are AAPCS
compliant (e.g. disabling inter-procedural register allocation).
For example, with -fpatchable-function-entry=2, GCC 8.1.0 compiles the
following:
| unsigned long bar(void);
|
| unsigned long foo(void)
| {
| return bar() + 1;
| }
... to:
| <foo>:
| nop
| nop
| stp x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
| mov x29, sp
| bl 0 <bar>
| add x0, x0, #0x1
| ldp x29, x30, [sp], #16
| ret
This patch builds the kernel with -fpatchable-function-entry=2,
prefixing each function with two NOPs. To trace a function, we replace
these NOPs with a sequence that saves the LR into a GPR, then calls an
ftrace entry assembly function which saves this and other relevant
registers:
| mov x9, x30
| bl <ftrace-entry>
Since patchable functions are AAPCS compliant (and the kernel does not
use x18 as a platform register), x9-x18 can be safely clobbered in the
patched sequence and the ftrace entry code.
There are now two ftrace entry functions, ftrace_regs_entry (which saves
all GPRs), and ftrace_entry (which saves the bare minimum). A PLT is
allocated for each within modules.

The save_return_regs and restore_return_regs macros are only used by
return_to_handler, and having them defined out-of-line only serves to
obscure the logic.
Before we complicate, let's clean this up and fold the logic directly
into return_to_handler, saving a few lines of macro boilerplate in the
process. At the same time, a missing trailing space is added to the
comments, fixing a code style violation.

The core ftrace code requires that when it is handed the PC of an
instrumented function, this PC is the address of the instrumented
instruction. This is necessary so that the core ftrace code can identify
the specific instrumentation site. Since the instrumented function will
be a BL, the address of the instrumented function is LR - 4 at entry to
the ftrace code.
This fixup is applied in the mcount_get_pc and mcount_get_pc0 helpers,
which acquire the PC of the instrumented function.
The mcount_get_lr helper is used to acquire the LR of the instrumented
function, whose value does not require this adjustment, and cannot be
adjusted to anything meaningful. No adjustment of this value is made on
other architectures, including arm. However, arm64 adjusts this value by
4.
This patch brings arm64 in line with other architectures and removes the
adjustment of the LR value.

Some places in the kernel open-code sequences using ADRP for a symbol
another instruction using a :lo12: relocation for that same symbol.
These sequences are easy to get wrong, and more painful to read than is
necessary. For these reasons, it is preferable to use the
{adr,ldr,str}_l macros for these cases.
This patch makes use of these in entry-ftrace.S, removing open-coded
sequences using adrp. This results in a minor code change, since a
temporary register is not used when generating the address for some
symbols, but this is fine, as the value of the temporary register is not
used elsewhere.

This is because when using function graph tracer, if the traced
function return value is in multi regs ([x0-x7]), return_to_handler
may corrupt them. So in return_to_handler, the parameter regs should

arm64 was broken anyway, as it had an ifdef testing

the arch supports the code (which it obviously did not), and
it was testing a non existent ftrace_trace_stop instead of

inserted by gcc -pg option. The branch is replaced to NOP initially at
kernel start up, and later on, NOP to branch to ftrace_caller() when
enabled or branch to NOP when disabled.
Please note that ftrace_caller() is a counterpart of _mcount() in case of
'static' ftrace.
More details on architecture specific requirements are described in
Documentation/trace/ftrace-design.txt.

This patch implements arm64 specific part to support function tracers,
such as function (CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER), function_graph
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER) and function profiler
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_PROFILER).
With 'function' tracer, all the functions in the kernel are traced with
timestamps in ${sysfs}/tracing/trace. If function_graph tracer is
specified, call graph is generated.
The kernel must be compiled with -pg option so that _mcount() is inserted
at the beginning of functions. This function is called on every function's
entry as long as tracing is enabled.
In addition, function_graph tracer also needs to be able to probe function's
exit. ftrace_graph_caller() & return_to_handler do this by faking link
register's value to intercept function's return path.
