Subject: [PATCH v6 3/7] riscv: ftrace: always preserve s0 in dynamic ftrace register frame
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 17:26:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914092648.51254-4-xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914092648.51254-1-xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com>
From: Wang Han <wanghan@linux.alibaba.com>
struct __arch_ftrace_regs declares s0 unconditionally, and both
ftrace_regs_get_frame_pointer() and ftrace_partial_regs() read it
unconditionally. But the SAVE_ABI_REGS / RESTORE_ABI_REGS macros in
mcount-dyn.S only stored s0 under HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FP_TEST
(CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER && CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER). With
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER=n the slot held whatever was on the stack before,
so any callback going through ftrace_partial_regs() saw a garbage
regs->s0. RISC-V kernels default to FRAME_POINTER=y, which is why this
has not bitten in practice.
Save and restore s0 unconditionally in the dynamic ftrace ABI register
frame. This fixes the latent garbage-s0 case, brings the dynamic ftrace
path in line with the static _mcount path (mcount.S SAVE_ABI_STATE
already saves s0 unconditionally), and matches the frame layout already
documented in the comment above SAVE_ABI_REGS. It is also a prerequisite
for the upcoming reliable unwinder, which reads
ftrace_regs_get_frame_pointer(fregs) directly.
The cost is one extra REG_S/REG_L pair per traced call, negligible
compared to the overall ftrace cost; the existing FREGS_SIZE_ON_STACK
already reserved the slot, so no extra stack space is used.
