[PATCH v5 0/9] ftrace with regs + live patching for ppc64 LE (ABI v2)

From: Torsten Duwe
Date: Fri Dec 04 2015 - 10:24:25 EST


Changes since v4:
* change comment style in entry_64.S to C89
(nobody is using assembler syntax comments there).
* the bool function restore_r2 shouldn't return 2,
that's a little confusing.
* Test whether the compiler supports -mprofile-kernel
and only then define CC_USING_MPROFILE_KERNEL
* also make the return value of klp_check_compiler_support
depend on that.

Major changes since v3:
* the graph tracer works now.
It turned out the stack frame it tried to manipulate does not
exist at that point.
* changes only needed in order to support -mprofile-kernel are now
in a separate patch, prepended.
* Kconfig cleanup so this is only selectable on ppc64le.



Torsten Duwe (9):
ppc64 (le): prepare for -mprofile-kernel
ppc64le FTRACE_WITH_REGS implementation
ppc use ftrace_modify_all_code default
ppc64 ftrace_with_regs configuration variables
ppc64 ftrace_with_regs: spare early boot and low level
ppc64 ftrace: disable profiling for some functions
ppc64 ftrace: disable profiling for some files
Implement kernel live patching for ppc64le (ABIv2)
Enable LIVEPATCH to be configured on ppc64le and add livepatch.o if it
is selected.
