Subject: [PATCH 5.10 047/104] lkdtm: dont move ctors to .rodata

From: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@....com>

commit 3f618ab3323407ee4c6a6734a37eb6e9663ebfb9 upstream.

When building with KASAN and LKDTM, clang may implictly generate an
asan.module_ctor function in the LKDTM rodata object. The Makefile moves
the lkdtm_rodata_do_nothing() function into .rodata by renaming the
file's .text section to .rodata, and consequently also moves the ctor
function into .rodata, leading to a boot time crash (splat below) when
the ctor is invoked by do_ctors().

Let's prevent this by marking the function as noinstr rather than
notrace, and renaming the file's .noinstr.text to .rodata. Marking the
function as noinstr will prevent tracing and kprobes, and will inhibit
any undesireable compiler instrumentation.

The ctor function (if any) will be placed in .text and will work
correctly.

Example splat before this patch is applied:
