Subject: [PATCH v7 05/11] arm64/module, sframe: Add sframe support for modules
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 22:41:51 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918224157.1471085-6-dylanbhatch@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918224157.1471085-1-dylanbhatch@google.com>
Add sframe table to mod_arch_specific and support sframe PC lookups when
an .sframe section can be found on incoming modules. SFRAME_F_FDE_SORTED
is not set for module .sframe, so FDEs are sorted right after the sframe
header is read.

Changes since v6:
- (sashiko) Check section flag SHF_ALLOC before reading in module
.sframe.
- (sashiko) Use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE to enforce memory barrier when
checking mod->arch.sframe_init.
- Change IP range checks to strictly check text sections of
vmlinux/module (instead of is_ksym_addr(ip) / __module_address(ip)).
- (sashiko) Check kernel_sfsec.fdes_sorted during init, since
SFRAME_F_FDE_SORTED is no longer required (in order to support
modules).
- (sashiko) Drop WARN_ON to pr_warn() when module sframe header read
fails.
- Drop sec->sec_type check in sframe_sort_fdes(), return void.
