powerpc/ftrace: support CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_RETVAL

2025-09-16T10:43:00+00:00

commit a1be9ccc57f0 ("function_graph: Support recording and printing the
return value of function") introduced support for function graph return
value tracing.

Additionally, commit a3ed4157b7d8 ("fgraph: Replace fgraph_ret_regs with
ftrace_regs") further refactored and optimized the implementation,
making `struct fgraph_ret_regs` unnecessary.

This patch enables the above modifications for powerpc all, ensuring that
function graph return value tracing is available on this architecture.

In this patch we have redefined two functions:
- 'ftrace_regs_get_return_value()' - the existing implementation on
ppc returns -ve of return value based on some conditions not
relevant to our patch.
- 'ftrace_regs_get_frame_pointer()' - always returns 0 in current code .

We also allocate stack space to equivalent of 'SWITCH_FRAME_SIZE',
allowing us to directly use predefined offsets like 'GPR3' and 'GPR4'
this keeps code clean and consistent with already defined offsets .

After this patch, v6.14+ kernel can also be built with FPROBE on powerpc
but there are a few other build and runtime dependencies for FPROBE to
work properly. The next patch addresses them.

powerpc/ftrace: ensure ftrace record ops are always set for NOPs

2025-09-15T11:10:52+00:00

When an ftrace call site is converted to a NOP, its corresponding
dyn_ftrace record should have its ftrace_ops pointer set to
ftrace_nop_ops.

Correct the powerpc implementation to ensure the
ftrace_rec_set_nop_ops() helper is called on all successful NOP
initialization paths. This ensures all ftrace records are consistent
before being handled by the ftrace core.

fgraph: Pass ftrace_regs to entryfunc

2024-12-26T15:50:02+00:00

Pass ftrace_regs to the fgraph_ops::entryfunc(). If ftrace_regs is not
available, it passes a NULL instead. User callback function can access
some registers (including return address) via this ftrace_regs.

Note that the ftrace_regs can be NULL when the arch does NOT define:
HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS or HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS.
More specifically, if HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is defined but
not the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS, and the ftrace ops used to
register the function callback does not set FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS.
In this case, ftrace_regs can be NULL in user callback.

fgraph: Get ftrace recursion lock in function_graph_enter

Get the ftrace recursion lock in the generic function_graph_enter()
instead of each architecture code.
This changes all function_graph tracer callbacks running in
non-preemptive state. On x86 and powerpc, this is by default, but
on the other architecutres, this will be new.

Make all such headers consistently named text-patching.h and add an empty

powerpc/ftrace: Add support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS

2024-10-31T00:00:55+00:00

Add support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS similar to the arm64
implementation.

ftrace direct calls allow custom trampolines to be called into directly
from function ftrace call sites, bypassing the ftrace trampoline
completely. This functionality is currently utilized by BPF trampolines
to hook into kernel function entries.

Since we have limited relative branch range, we support ftrace direct
calls through support for DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_CALL_OPS. In this
approach, ftrace trampoline is not entirely bypassed. Rather, it is
re-purposed into a stub that reads direct_call field from the associated
ftrace_ops structure and branches into that, if it is not NULL. For
this, it is sufficient if we can ensure that the ftrace trampoline is
reachable from all traceable functions.

When multiple ftrace_ops are associated with a call site, we utilize a
call back to set pt_regs->orig_gpr3 that can then be tested on the
return path from the ftrace trampoline to branch into the direct caller.
