Vasily Gorbik cf3a133389 s390/ftrace: generate traced function stack frame
[ Upstream commit 45f7a0da600d3c409b5ad8d5ddddacd98ddc8840 ]

Currently backtrace from ftraced function does not contain ftraced
function itself. e.g. for "path_openat":

arch_stack_walk+0x15c/0x2d8
stack_trace_save+0x50/0x68
stack_trace_call+0x15e/0x3d8
ftrace_graph_caller+0x0/0x1c <-- ftrace code
do_filp_open+0x7c/0xe8 <-- ftraced function caller
do_open_execat+0x76/0x1b8
open_exec+0x52/0x78
load_elf_binary+0x180/0x1160
search_binary_handler+0x8e/0x288
load_script+0x2a8/0x2b8
search_binary_handler+0x8e/0x288
__do_execve_file.isra.39+0x6fa/0xb40
__s390x_sys_execve+0x56/0x68
system_call+0xdc/0x2d8

Ftraced function is expected in the backtrace by ftrace kselftests, which
are now failing. It would also be nice to have it for clarity reasons.

"ftrace_caller" itself is called without stack frame allocated for it
and does not store its caller (ftraced function). Instead it simply
allocates a stack frame for "ftrace_trace_function" and sets backchain
to point to ftraced function stack frame (which contains ftraced function
caller in saved r14).

To fix this issue make "ftrace_caller" allocate a stack frame
for itself just to store ftraced function for the stack unwinder.
As a result backtrace looks like the following:

arch_stack_walk+0x15c/0x2d8
stack_trace_save+0x50/0x68
stack_trace_call+0x15e/0x3d8
ftrace_graph_caller+0x0/0x1c <-- ftrace code
path_openat+0x6/0xd60  <-- ftraced function
do_filp_open+0x7c/0xe8 <-- ftraced function caller
do_open_execat+0x76/0x1b8
open_exec+0x52/0x78
load_elf_binary+0x180/0x1160
search_binary_handler+0x8e/0x288
load_script+0x2a8/0x2b8
search_binary_handler+0x8e/0x288
__do_execve_file.isra.39+0x6fa/0xb40
__s390x_sys_execve+0x56/0x68
system_call+0xdc/0x2d8

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
