Linux kernel source tree

The branch range checks in ftrace_make_call() and ftrace_make_nop() are incorrect, erroneously permitting a forwards branch of 128M and erroneously rejecting a backwards branch of 128M. This is because both functions calculate the offset backwards, calculating the offset *from* the target *to* the branch, rather than the other way around as the later comparisons expect. If an out-of-range branch were erroeously permitted, this would later be rejected by aarch64_insn_gen_branch_imm() as branch_imm_common() checks the bounds correctly, resulting in warnings and the placement of a BRK instruction. Note that this can only happen for a forwards branch of exactly 128M, and so the caller would need to be exactly 128M bytes below the relevant ftrace trampoline. If an in-range branch were erroeously rejected, then: * For modules when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=y, this would result in the use of a PLT entry, which is benign. Note that this is the common case, as this is selected by CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE (and therefore RANDOMIZE_MODULE_REGION_FULL), which distributions typically seelct. This is also selected by CONFIG_ARM64_ERRATUM_843419. * For modules when CONFIG_ARM64_MODULE_PLTS=n, this would result in internal ftrace failures. * For core kernel text, this would result in internal ftrace failues. Note that for this to happen, the kernel text would need to be at least 128M bytes in size, and typical configurations are smaller tha this. Fix this by calculating the offset *from* the branch *to* the target in both functions. Fixes: |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
