[PATCH] arm: ftrace: fix dynamic ftrace with DEBUG_RODATA and !FRAME_POINTER

From: Abel Vesa
Date: Wed Mar 15 2017 - 14:09:01 EST


The support for dynamic ftrace with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA involves
overriding the weak arch_ftrace_update_code() with a variant which makes
the kernel text writable around the patching.

This override was however added under the CONFIG_OLD_MCOUNT ifdef, and
CONFIG_OLD_MCOUNT is only enabled if frame pointers are enabled.

This leads to non-functional dynamic ftrace (ftrace triggers a
WARN_ON()) when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled and CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
is not.

Move the override out of that ifdef and into the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE
ifdef where it belongs.

Fixes: 80d6b0c2eed2a ("ARM: mm: allow text and rodata sections to be read-only")
