Subject: [PATCH] powerpc32/modules: Reserve a PLT entry for ftrace_regs_caller
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 17:56:31 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923175631.235276-1-brads@mainlining.org> (raw)

Commit 7dfbfb87c243 ("powerpc/ftrace: Activate
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS on PPC32") made count_relocs()
undercount the PLT entries the loader
consumes: module_finalize_ftrace() now creates two trampolines
(mod->arch.tramp for ftrace_caller() and mod->arch.tramp_regs for
ftrace_regs_caller()), while count_relocs() reserves only one entry
for ftrace.

So the core .plt ends up one ppc_plt_entry (16 bytes) short. The
walk in do_plt_call() scans for a free slot with
"while (entry->jump[0])" and has no bound check, so once the last
reserved slot is used up, the walk steps past the end of the section
and patch_instruction() writes the 4-instruction trampoline into
whatever module memory follows the .plt.

Count the second entry, mirroring what module_64.c does for the same
pair of stubs.
