    powerpc/ftrace: Ignore ftrace locations in exit text sections · ea73179e

    Michael reported that we are seeing an ftrace bug on bootup when KASAN
    is enabled and we are using -fpatchable-function-entry:
    
      ftrace: allocating 47780 entries in 18 pages

    With CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_PATCHABLE_FUNCTION_ENTRY=y and
    CONFIG_KASAN=y, compiler emits nops in functions that it generates for
    registering and unregistering global variables (unlike with -pg and
    -mprofile-kernel where calls to _mcount() are not generated in those
    functions). Those functions then end up in INIT_TEXT and EXIT_TEXT
    respectively. We don't expect to see any profiled functions in
    EXIT_TEXT, so ftrace_init_nop() assumes that all addresses that aren't
    in the core kernel text belongs to a module. Since these functions do
    not match that criteria, we see the above bug.
    
    Address this by having ftrace ignore all locations in the text exit
    sections of vmlinux.
