Similar to what Mark wrote about 2/4, I'd appreciate a better commit log.
Could you explain traditional "what/why/how", please?

Could you add a note to the changelog what this means? My ability to read
arm64 entry.S is very limited, but I can see that _TIF_WORK_MASK is
process in a syscall exit and irq return paths. That's good. It is also
called (via "b ret_to_user") in a couple of different places (el0_*
labels). I guess those are returns from exception handling. A comment
about it in the changelog would be appreciated.

I think that only
#include <asm/ptrace.h>
is in fact needed, because of "struct pt_regs".
Ad relocations. I checked that everything in struct mod_arch_specific
stays after the module is load. Both core and init get SHF_ALLOC set
(mod->arch.core.plt->sh_flags in module_frob_arch_sections(). It is
important because apply_relocate_add() may use those sections
through module_emit_plt_entry() call.
ftrace_trampoline section gets SHF_ALLOC as well. Btw, don't you want to
do something similar for new ftrace_regs_trampoline in
module_frob_arch_sections()? Perhaps even edit
arch/arm64/kernel/module.lds? I'm completely clueless here, so it may be
ok. And it applies to 2/4 patch.
The last thing is count_plts() function called from
module_frob_arch_sections(). It needed to be changed in 2016 as well. See
Jessica's patch
(20160713001113.GA30925@...ker-debian-8-amd64.digitalocean.com). The logic
in the function has changed since then. If I am not mistaken,
count_plts() is fine as it is right now. It does not consider SHN_UNDEF
anymore, it looks at the destination section (where a symbol should
resolved to) only.
Jessica, could you doublecheck, please?
Torsten, please doublecheck all this as well and add a comment about all
this to the changelog, so we don't have to analyze it from the beginning
again in the future.
Thanks,
Miroslav
