If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Josh Poimboeuf commit 8b8292d6487c81bd57c2605a9b404b1cf8f1edfb upstream. When a module's init text is freed, do_init_module() calls ftrace_free_mem() with a half-open [start, end) range. However the ftrace_cmp_recs() comparator treats the upper bound as inclusive, as all its other users do, passing 'ip + size - 1'. So ftrace_free_mem() can delete a record sitting exactly at 'end', which is outside the freed range. For a kernel without CFI or IBT, the first record of a function is at the function start, which for the first function in a module is also the base of its text allocation. As the module allocator packs its regions, that address is often the 'end' passed by a neighboring module's do_init_module(), causing the first function's ftrace location to get disabled, preventing an attempt to livepatch it: livepatch: failed to find location for function 'pcspkr_probe' Convert the exclusive end to the inclusive 'end - 1' the comparator expects, and return early for an empty range to avoid the subtraction from underflowing when the init text size is zero.
