[PATCH v2 7/7] powerpc/kprobes: Allow probing on any ftrace address

From: Naveen N. Rao
Date: Thu Jun 27 2019 - 07:24:36 EST


With KPROBES_ON_FTRACE, kprobe is allowed to be inserted on instructions
that branch to _mcount (referred to as ftrace location). With
-mprofile-kernel, we now include the preceding 'mflr r0' as being part
of the ftrace location.

However, by default, probing on an instruction that is not actually the
branch to _mcount() is prohibited, as that is considered to not be at an
instruction boundary. This is not the case on powerpc, so allow the same
by overriding arch_check_ftrace_location()

In addition, we update kprobe_ftrace_handler() to detect this scenarios
and to pass the proper nip to the pre and post probe handlers.
