Subject: [RFC PATCH 4/4] powerpc/ftrace: Additionally nop out the preceding mflr with -mprofile-kernel
With -mprofile-kernel, gcc emits 'mflr r0', followed by 'bl _mcount' to
enable function tracing and profiling. So far, with dynamic ftrace, we
used to only patch out the branch to _mcount(). However, Nick Piggin
points out that "mflr is executed by the branch unit that can only
execute one per cycle on POWER9 and shared with branches, so it would be
nice to avoid it where possible."
We cannot simply nop out the mflr either. Michael Ellerman pointed out
that when enabling function tracing, there can be a race if tracing is
enabled when some thread was interrupted after executing a nop'ed out
mflr. In this case, the thread would execute the now-patched-in branch
to _mcount() without having executed the preceding mflr.
To solve this, we now enable function tracing in 2 steps: patch in the
mflr instruction, use synchronize_rcu_tasks() to ensure all existing
threads make progress, and then patch in the branch to _mcount(). We
override ftrace_replace_code() with a powerpc64 variant for this
purpose.
