From cea394772d3c41d04cb71a032f6ed878392bd134 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Murzin Date: Mon, 18 Jun 2018 14:33:03 +0100 Subject: ARM: 8775/1: NOMMU: Use instr_sync instead of plain isb in common code Greg reported that commit 3c24121039c9d ("ARM: 8756/1: NOMMU: Postpone MPU activation till __after_proc_init") is causing breakage for the old Versatile platform in no-MMU mode (with out-of-tree patches): AS arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.o arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.S: Assembler messages: arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.S:180: Error: selected processor does not support `isb' in ARM mode scripts/Makefile.build:417: recipe for target 'arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.o' failed make[2]: *** [arch/arm/kernel/head-nommu.o] Error 1 Makefile:1034: recipe for target 'arch/arm/kernel' failed make[1]: *** [arch/arm/kernel] Error 2 Since the code is common for all NOMMU builds usage of the isb was a bad idea (please, note that isb also used in MPU related code which is fine because MPU has dependency on CPU_V7/CPU_V7M), instead use more robust instr_sync assembler macro.

To do this, a per arch function is called both before and after the ftrace modifications are performed. The "before" function will set kernel code text to read-write to allow for ftrace to make the modifications, and the "after" function will set the kernel code text back to "read-only" to keep the kernel code text protected. The issue happens when dynamic ftrace is tested at boot up. The test is done before the kernel code text has been set to read-only. But the "before" and "after" calls are still performed. The "after" call will change the kernel code text to read-only prematurely, and other boot code that expects this code to be read-write will fail. The solution is to add a variable that is set when the kernel code text is expected to be converted to read-only, and make the ftrace "before" and "after" calls do nothing if that variable is not yet set. This is similar to the x86 solution from commit 162396309745 ("ftrace, x86: make kernel text writable only for conversions").
