Commit 800618f955a9 ("arm64: ftrace: use function_nocfi for ftrace_call")
only fixed address of ftrace_call but address of _mcount needs to be
fixed as well. Use function_nocfi() to get the actual address of _mcount
function as with CONFIG_CFI_CLANG, the compiler replaces function pointers
with jump table addresses which breaks dynamic ftrace as the address of
_mcount is replaced with the address of _mcount.cfi_jt.

This problem won't apply where the toolchain implements
-fpatchable-function-entry as we'll use that in preference to regular -pg,
i.e. this won't show up with recent versions of clang.

Clang >= 10 supports -fpatchable-function-entry and CFI requires Clang
12, so I assume this is only an issue if
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS is explicitly disabled?

Nevertheless, the patch looks good to me.

I don't believe it's possible to disable explicitly, since
DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS isn't user selectable, and is def bool y,
depending on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS.

Sumit, have you actually seen a problem, or was this found by
inspection?

If this isn't an issue in practice, we could add the funciton_nocfi()
for consistency, but we should make that clear in the commit message,
and drop the fixes tag.

Thanks,
Mark.

Ah, I see.

Actually I have seen this ftrace problem with the android11-5.4-lts
kernel and AOSP master user-space on db845c. The reason being kernel
v5.4 LTS doesn't support ftrace with -fpatchable-function-entry on
arm64.

With the mainline, I haven't tried to reproduce this issue but it was
rather by inspection that this needs to be fixed as well.

Sure, let me drop the fixes tag and update the commit description in
v3 as mainline only enabled CFI_CLANG for arm64 when
"-fpatchable-function-entry" is supported.

Did you post a v3? Just want to make sure I didn't miss it.
