Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/ftrace: Create a dummy stackframe to fix stack unwind
Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2023 10:43:49 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230621051349.759567-1-naveen@kernel.org> (raw)
With ppc64 -mprofile-kernel and ppc32 -pg, profiling instructions to
call into ftrace are emitted right at function entry. The instruction
sequence used is minimal to reduce overhead. Crucially, a stackframe is
not created for the function being traced. This breaks stack unwinding
since the function being traced does not have a stackframe for itself.
As such, it never shows up in the backtrace:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace

Fix this by having ftrace create a dummy stackframe for the function
being traced. With this, backtraces now capture the function being
traced:
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing # cat stack_trace

This results in two additional stores in the ftrace entry code, but
produces reliable backtraces.

Per Nick's suggestion, I'm posting a minimal fix separately to make this
easier to backport.
