Support for -fpatchable-function-entry on ppc64le was added in Clang with [1]. However, when no prefix NOPs are specified - as is the case with CONFIG_PPC_FTRACE_OUT_OF_LINE - the first NOP is emitted at LEP, but Clang records the Global Entry Point (GEP) unlike GCC which does record the Local Entry Point (LEP). Issue [2] has been raised to align Clang's behavior with GCC. As a temporary workaround to ensure ftrace initialization works as expected with Clang, derive the LEP using ppc_function_entry() for kernel symbols and by looking for the below module GEP sequence for module addresses, until [2] is resolved: ld r2, -8(r12) add r2, r2, r12 [1] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/151569 [2] https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/163706 Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.ibm.com> Tested-by: Venkat Rao Bagalkote <venkat88@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.ibm.com> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20260127084926.34497-4-hbathini@linux.ibm.com
