Subject: [PATCH v3 7/7] arm64: ftrace: Allow CALL_OPS on kCFI kernels built with Rust
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 16:57:38 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261029-b4-arm64-callops-kcfi-v3-7-1b011ad5ddec@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261029-b4-arm64-callops-kcfi-v3-0-1b011ad5ddec@linux.dev>
Pass -Zpatchable-function-entry=M,M,.discard.patchable_function_entries
to rustc when CFI and CALL_OPS are both enabled, so Rust functions get
the same prefix NOPs as C functions. The section argument needs
Rust 1.98 [1]. Probe for it, and let ARM64_CFI_PERMITS_CALL_OPS
accept RUST=y when the probe passes.
Filter -fpatchable-function-entry out of bindgen's C flags on every
architecture, not only on arm64 with CFI, since removing the flag does
not change the ABI.
