From c41bf4326c7b0af3f7004235ac91551833ec95c6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Chiu Date: Tue, 8 Apr 2025 02:08:27 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] riscv: ftrace: align patchable functions to 4 Byte boundary MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit We are changing ftrace code patching in order to remove dependency from stop_machine() and enable kernel preemption. This requires us to align functions entry at a 4-B align address. However, -falign-functions on older versions of GCC alone was not strong enoungh to align all functions. In fact, cold functions are not aligned after turning on optimizations. We consider this is a bug in GCC and turn off guess-branch-probility as a workaround to align all functions. GCC bug id: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88345 The option -fmin-function-alignment is able to align all functions properly on newer versions of gcc. So, we add a cc-option to test if the toolchain supports it.
