[ Upstream commit8547649981] In RISCV, we must use an AUIPC + JALR pair to encode an immediate, forming a jump that jumps to an address over 4K. This may cause errors if we want to enable kernel preemption and remove dependency from patching code with stop_machine(). For example, if a task was switched out on auipc. And, if we changed the ftrace function before it was switched back, then it would jump to an address that has updated 11:0 bits mixing with previous XLEN:12 part. p: patched area performed by dynamic ftrace ftrace_prologue: p| REG_S ra, -SZREG(sp) p| auipc ra, 0x? ------------> preempted ... change ftrace function ... p| jalr -?(ra) <------------- switched back p| REG_L ra, -SZREG(sp) func: xxx ret Fixes:afc76b8b80("riscv: Using PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY instead of MCOUNT") Signed-off-by: Andy Chiu <andy.chiu@sifive.com> Signed-off-by: Guo Ren <guoren@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230112090603.1295340-2-guoren@kernel.org Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
