Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Fix printing ptrs in preempt/irq enable/disable events
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2019 16:44:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191127154428.191095-1-antonio.borneo@st.com> (raw)

This tracing event class is the only instance in kernel that logs
in the trace buffer the instruction pointer as offset to _stext,
instead of logging the full pointer.
This looks like a nice optimization for 64 bits platforms, where a
32 bit offset can take less space than a full 64 bits pointer. But
the symbol _stext is incorrectly resolved as zero in the expansion
of TP_printk(), which then prints only the hex offset instead of
the name of the caller function. Plus, on arm arch the kernel
modules are loaded at address lower than _stext, causing the u32
offset arithmetics to overflow and wrap at 32 bits.
I did not identified a 64 bit arch where the modules are loaded at
offset from _stext that exceed u32 range, but I also did not
identified any constraint to feel safe with a u32 offset.

Log directly the instruction pointer instead of the offset to
_stext.
