From cf9bc0efcce2c324314cf7f5138c08f85ef7b5eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naveen N Rao Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2024 12:38:46 +0530 Subject: powerpc64/ftrace: Support .text larger than 32MB with out-of-line stubs We are restricted to a .text size of ~32MB when using out-of-line function profile sequence. Allow this to be extended up to the previous limit of ~64MB by reserving space in the middle of .text. A new config option CONFIG_PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE_NUM_RESERVE is introduced to specify the number of function stubs that are reserved in .text. On boot, ftrace utilizes stubs from this area first before using the stub area at the end of .text. A ppc64le defconfig has ~44k functions that can be traced. A more conservative value of 32k functions is chosen as the default value of PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE_NUM_RESERVE so that we do not allot more space than necessary by default. If building a kernel that only has 32k trace-able functions, we won't allot any more space at the end of .text during the pass on vmlinux.o. Otherwise, only the remaining functions get space for stubs at the end of .text. This default value should help cover a .text size of ~48MB in total (including space reserved at the end of .text which can cover up to 32MB), which should be sufficient for most common builds. For a very small kernel build, this can be set to 0. Or, this can be bumped up to a larger value to support vmlinux .text size up to ~64MB.
