[PATCH v22 19/20] ftrace: Add ftrace_get_symaddr to convert fentry_ip to symaddr

[PATCH v22 19/20] ftrace: Add ftrace_get_symaddr to convert fentry_ip to symaddr
Posted by Masami Hiramatsu (Google) 2 months, 2 weeks ago 
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>

This introduces ftrace_get_symaddr() which tries to convert fentry_ip
passed by ftrace or fgraph callback to symaddr without calling
kallsyms API. It returns the symbol address or 0 if it fails to
convert it.

 Changes in v21:
  - On arm64, fix the macro name to ftrace_get_symaddr() correctly.
  - Define ftrace_get_symaddr() outside of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.
 Changes in v19:
  - Newly added.

Re: [PATCH v22 19/20] ftrace: Add ftrace_get_symaddr to convert fentry_ip to symaddr
Posted by Gabriel de Perthuis 1 month ago 
Hello,

I got errors building Linux 6.14-rc1 that were solved by reverting this 
patch and the one after (19/20 and 20/20).

Errors look like:

In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/asm-prototypes.h:2,
                  from <stdin>:3:
./arch/x86/include/asm/ftrace.h: In function 'arch_ftrace_get_symaddr':
./arch/x86/include/asm/ftrace.h:46:21: error: implicit declaration of 
function 'get_kernel_nofault' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
    46 |                 if (get_kernel_nofault(instr, (u32 *)(fentry_ip 
- ENDBR_INSN_SIZE)))
       | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Will send .config on request if needed.

Ah, that's why... get_kernel_nofault() is defined in linux/uaccess.h.
I also found that is_endbr() is in asm/ibt.h.

Can you try this?

Thank you,
