[RFC PATCH v2 5/6] ftrace: Add ftrace_partial_regs() for converting ftrace_regs to pt_regs
Posted by Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 2 years, 6 months ago 
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Add ftrace_partial_regs() which converts the ftrace_regas to pt_regs.
If the architecture defines its own ftrace_regs, this copies partial
registers to pt_regs and returns it. If not, ftrace_regs is the same as
pt_regs and ftrace_partial_regs() will return ftrace_regs::regs.

Are you intentionally copying that tenth value (fregs.direct_tramp)
into pt_regs.regs[9] ? This seems wrong and it looks like it will bite
us back one day. Isn't it one of these cases where we can simply use
sizeof(fregs->regs) ?

I don't think this works. Suppose you are on x86, WITH_ARGS, and with
HAVE_PT_REGS_COMPAT_FTRACE_REGS. If you register to ftrace without
FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS you will receive a ftrace_regs from the light
ftrace pre-trampoline that has a CS register equal to 0 and
arch_ftrace_get_regs will return NULL here, which should never happen.

Have you tested your series without registering as FTRACE_OPS_FL_SAVE_REGS ?

Oops, thanks.

Ah, sorry, it was my mistake. It should be "sizeof(u64) * 9".
I would like to know how can I handle the 'direct_tramp' thing?
Can I just ignore it?

Yes, Jiri also pointed it. So I simply made it (also remove 'const' from fregs)

return &fregs->regs;

Thank you,
