[PATCH bpf-next v2 2/6] x86/ftrace: implement DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_JMP

From: Menglong Dong <hidden>
Date: 2025-11-17 03:49:26
Also in: bpf, lkml
Subsystem: function hooks (ftrace), the rest, x86 architecture (32-bit and 64-bit) · Maintainers: Steven Rostedt, Masami Hiramatsu, Linus Torvalds, Thomas Gleixner, Ingo Molnar, Borislav Petkov, Dave Hansen

Implement the DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_JMP for x86_64. In ftrace_call_replace,
we will use JMP32_INSN_OPCODE instead of CALL_INSN_OPCODE if the address
should use "jmp".

Meanwhile, adjust the direct call in the ftrace_regs_caller. The RSB is
balanced in the "jmp" mode. Take the function "foo" for example:

 original_caller:
 call foo -> foo:
         call fentry -> fentry:
                 [do ftrace callbacks ]
                 move tramp_addr to stack
                 RET -> tramp_addr
                         tramp_addr:
                         [..]
                         call foo_body -> foo_body:
                                 [..]
                                 RET -> back to tramp_addr
                         [..]
                         RET -> back to original_caller
