[PATCH v3 21/27] x86/ftrace: Adapt function tracing for PIE support

Thomas Garnier
2018-05-23T19:54:15Z

When using -fPIE/PIC with function tracing, the compiler generates a
call through the GOT (call *__fentry__@GOTPCREL). This instruction
takes 6 bytes instead of 5 on the usual relative call.

If PIE is enabled, replace the 6th byte of the GOT call by a 1-byte nop
so ftrace can handle the previous 5-bytes as before.

Position Independent Executable (PIE) support will allow to extended the
KASLR randomization range below the -2G memory limit.
