Originally, we ran into stack corruptions, or execution of partially updated instructions when starting or stopping ftrace on a fully preemptible kernel configuration. The reason is that kernel periodically calls rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() on cores waiting for the code-patching core running in ftrace. Though rcu_momentary_dyntick_idle() itself is marked as notrace, it would call a bunch of tracable functions if we configured the kernel as preemptible. For example, these are some functions that happened to have a symbol and have not been marked as notrace on a RISC-V preemptible kernel compiled with GCC-11: - __rcu_report_exp_rnp() - rcu_report_exp_cpu_mult() - rcu_preempt_deferred_qs() - rcu_preempt_need_deferred_qs() - rcu_preempt_deferred_qs_irqrestore() Thus, this make it not ideal for us to rely on stop_machine() and handly marked "notrace"s to perform runtime code patching. To remove such dependency, we must make updates of code seemed atomic on running cores. This might not be obvious for RISC-V since it usaually uses a pair of AUIPC + JALR to perform a long jump, which cannot be modified and executed concurrently if we consider preemptions. As such, this patch proposed a way to make it possible. It embeds a 32-bit rel-address data into instructions of each ftrace prologue and jumps indirectly. In this way, we could store and load the address atomically so that the code patching core could run simutaneously with the rest of running cores. After applying the patchset, we compiled a preemptible kernel with all tracers and ftrace-selftest enabled, and booted it on a 2-core QEMU virt machine. The kernel could boot up successfully, passing all ftrace testsuits. Besides, we ran a script that randomly pick a tracer on every 0~5 seconds. The kernel has sustained over 20K rounds of the test. In contrast, a preemptible kernel without our patch would panic in few rounds on the same machine. However, we did run into errors when using hwlat or irqsoff tracers together with cpu-online stressor from stress-ng on a preemptible kernel. The stressor would randomly take a cpu from 1-N offline and online using hotplug mechanism. Nonotheless, since we think there is little chance that it is related to our changes in ftrace, we are working on it in parallel, and may come up with another patch soon.
