Subject: [PATCH v6 6/7] riscv: Kconfig: enable HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE and HAVE_LIVEPATCH
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 17:26:47 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914092648.51254-7-xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260914092648.51254-1-xueshuai@linux.alibaba.com>
From: Wang Han <wanghan@linux.alibaba.com>
Now that the metadata frame records, the kunwind state machine and
arch_stack_walk_reliable() are all in place, advertise the capability
to the rest of the kernel:
* select HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE under FRAME_POINTER && 64BIT, so
only the configurations with the tested metadata records and
FP-based reliable walker enable it.
* select HAVE_LIVEPATCH under the same condition and source
kernel/livepatch/Kconfig so the livepatch menu is reachable from
the RISC-V configuration.
The 64BIT dependency is conservative scoping rather than a hard
technical requirement: the metadata frame record, kunwind state machine
and arch_stack_walk_reliable() also build on RV32, and the IRQ-stack
frame-record adjustment fixes a latent RV32 issue. However, the syscall
livepatch selftest and module relocation path have only been exercised
on RV64 QEMU virt so far. The 64BIT gate can be relaxed in a follow-up
once RV32 has equivalent coverage.
This is split out from the unwinder change so the policy decision and
the implementation can be reviewed and reverted independently.
