ARM: 9457/1: ftrace: Implement HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS

2025-10-02T07:44:51Z

Enable support for ftrace's funcgraph-retval feature by capturing r0-r3 and fp. Since ARM does not provide its own __arch_ftrace_regs structure, we instead populate pt_regs with the registers required by ftrace.

Pull hardening updates from Kees Cook: "One notable addition is the creation of the 'transitional' keyword for kconfig so CONFIG renaming can go more smoothly. This has been a long-standing deficiency, and with the renaming of CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (since GCC will soon have KCFI support), this came up again. The breadth of the diffstat is mainly this renaming. - Clean up usage of TRAILING_OVERLAP() (Gustavo A. R.

arch: Add the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS to all the asm-offsets.c

2025-09-25T07:57:15Z

The include/generated/asm-offsets.h is generated in Kbuild during compiling from arch/SRCARCH/kernel/asm-offsets.c. When we want to generate another similar offset header file, circular dependency can happen. For example, we want to generate a offset file include/generated/test.h, which is included in include/sched/sched.h. If we generate asm-offsets.h first, it will fail, as include/sched/sched.h is included in asm-offsets.c and include/generated/test.h doesn't exist; If we generate test.h first, it can't success neither, as include/generated/asm-offsets.h is included by it. In x86_64, the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS is used to avoid such circular dependency. We can generate asm-offsets.h first, and if the COMPILE_OFFSETS is defined, we don't include the "generated/test.h". And we define the macro COMPILE_OFFSETS for all the asm-offsets.c for this purpose. Signed-off-by: Menglong Dong Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel)

kcfi: Rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI

2025-09-24T21:29:14Z

The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with associated options). Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

ARM: 9458/1: module: Ensure the override of module_arch_freeing_init()

2025-09-13T11:33:07Z

The function module_arch_freeing_init() defined in arch/arm/kernel/module.c is supposed to override a weak function of the same name defined in kernel/module/main.c. However, the ARM override is also marked as weak, which means that selecting the correct function unnecessarily depends on the order in which object files with both functions are passed to the linker. Although it happens to be correct at the moment, the proper pattern is to make the ARM override a strong definition.
