Subject: [PATCH] riscv: code patching only works on !XIP_KERNEL

From: Jisheng Zhang <[email protected]>

Some features which need code patching such as KPROBES, DYNAMIC_FTRACE
KGDB can only work on !XIP_KERNEL. Add dependencies for these features
that rely on code patching.

Hi,

Currently, the RISCV_ERRATA_ALTERNATIVE also only works on !XIP_KERNEL
but from the maillist it seem there's effort to make the co-exist, so
I drop RISCV_ERRATA_ALTERNATIVE dependency on !XIP_KERNEL.

Thanks

Since we can define extra RW sections to place some tiny code bits in
RAM, I would suggest that you hold back this patch for a while.
I am not going to support the idea of e. g. compiling KGDB support
into a XIP kernel, but disabling the whole HAVE_ARCH_JUMP_LABEL is
hardly the way to go.

Best regards,
Vitaly

I knew this discussion on maillist recently, that's the
reason why ERRATA_ALTERNATIVE related part isn't touched

I'm not sure whether the solution "extra RW sections to place some tiny code
bits" can work for JUMP_LABEL or not. But obviously, in JUMP_LABEL users
such as static keys, the patching is taken on the .text section unless
patching the common implementation kernel/jump_label.c. IMHO it's impossible.

However, I can hold back this patch for a while as you suggested.

Do you have any updates on this? The SOC_SIFIVE disable thread floated
back to the top of my inbox and I didn't see anything there. I'd prefer
to avoid chasing around Kconfig disables for a bunch of stuff that we're
just going to fix soon, but if this is going to be a big change then
it's likely for next cycle anyway so in that case I'll start picking up
these compile disable patches.

Not trying to rush any thing here, just don't want to have a bunch of
broken configs.

Sorry, was caught up in fixing other stuff but now I'm on it so expect
some updates soon.

Hi Vitaly,

Based on your "[PATCH] riscv: xip: support runtime trap patching", IMHO, it
solves ERRATA patching issue(And it makes use of the fact that the ERRATA
only touches traps at the moment), but can't make code patching tech such as
KPROBES, DYNAMIC_FTRACE etc. work properly, so my patch is still needed.

What do you think?

At this point it is needed, yes.

The thing is, I thought I'd go with one problem at a time, so I posted
the patch which solves build issues for SOC_SIFIVE and XIP, and
runtime patching for ERRATA (and I hope it gets accepted and makes its
way into -stable, too).
I gathered that addressing your issue had lower priority and so it's
still underway. All in all, I don't mind going on with your patch,
when the initial issue is addressed, we may want to revert some part
of it but I guess that would be ok with you, wouldn't it?

Best regards,
Vitaly

It's at lower priority, in fact I didn't have XIP riscv platform ;)

We could revert some part of it later although I suspect the incompatibility
between code patching tech and XIP could be addressed, take the KPROBES
for example, it needs an ability to patch almost *every* can_be_kprobed insn
this isn't achievable/necessary in XIP case.

I'm going to take the original patch in this thread. Unless I'm missing
something it's only turning off functionality that doesn't work (even
with the errata fix), so it'll be necessary. As things get fixed we can
re-enable them, but this will at least stop enabling the broken stuff.
