[PATCH v4 2/2] powerpc/fprobe: fix updated fprobe for function-graph tracer

From: Aditya Bodkhe <hidden>
Date: 2025-09-16 04:41:17
Also in: linux-trace-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: linux for powerpc (32-bit and 64-bit), the rest · Maintainers: Madhavan Srinivasan, Michael Ellerman, Linus Torvalds

From: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.ibm.com>

Since commit 4346ba160409 ("fprobe: Rewrite fprobe on function-graph
tracer"), FPROBE depends on HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS. With previous
patch adding HAVE_FUNCTION_GRAPH_FREGS for powerpc, FPROBE can be
enabled on powerpc. But with the commit b5fa903b7f7c ("fprobe: Add
fprobe_header encoding feature"), asm/fprobe.h header is needed to
define arch dependent encode/decode macros. The fprobe header MSB
pattern on powerpc is not 0xf. So, define FPROBE_HEADER_MSB_PATTERN
expected on powerpc.

Also, commit 762abbc0d09f ("fprobe: Use ftrace_regs in fprobe exit
handler") introduced HAVE_FTRACE_REGS_HAVING_PT_REGS for archs that
have pt_regs in ftrace_regs. Advertise that on powerpc to reuse
common definitions like ftrace_partial_regs().
