Subject: [PATCH 0/3] riscv: ftrace: Fixup ftrace detour code
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 06:38:14 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220916103817.9490-1-guoren@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Guo Ren <guoren@linux.alibaba.com>

The previous ftrace detour implementation fc76b8b8011 ("riscv: Using
PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT") contain three problems. The
most horrible bug is preemption panic which found by Andy [1]. I think we
could disable preemption for ftrace first, and Andy could continue the
ftrace preemption work.

@Andy, as Steven said, improving stop_machine mechinism also could prevent
preemption problem, but it would reduce the speed of ftrace_modify. How
do you think about the stop_machine solution, would you give out the
patch for this?
