Subject: [PATCH 0/2] fix ftrace initialization issue when a module is loaded
Date: Fri, 25 Dec 2015 14:22:31 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <567CE0A7.80605@intel.com> (raw)
When a module is loaded, current ftrace initialization around the new module
has some issues.
1) ftrace might race with insmod: Just after load_module calls
ftrace_module_init to add ftrace records of the module, ftrace_run_update_code
might jump in to change module codes. But load_module calls
complete_formation=>set_section_ro_nx to put the module TEXT attribute to RO.
Then, ftrace_run_update_code triggers ftrace_bug and fails.
2) complete_formation might fail and the module's ftrace records are not
cleaned up.
This patchset fixes above issues.
