I take it the idea is to make this the same as the regular ftrace patch-site sequence, so that this can call the same trampoline(s) ?

Yes, we can attach a bpf trampoline to bpf prog.

If so, we need some commentary to that effect, and we need some comments in the ftrace code explaining that this needs to be kept in-sync.

This is patched by bpf_arch_text_poke(), not ftrace.

When is offset non-zero? is this ever called to patch other instructions, and could this ever be used to try to patch the BTI specifically?

bpf_arch_text_poke() is also called to patch other instructions, for example, bpf_tramp_image_put() calls this to skip calling fexit bpf progs:

int err = bpf_arch_text_poke(im->ip_after_call, BPF_MOD_JUMP, NULL, im->ip_epilogue);

Before this is called, a bpf trampoline looks like:

[...] ip_after_call: nop // to be patched bl <fexit prog> ip_epilogue: bti j [...]

After: [...] ip_after_call: b <ip_epilogue> // patched bl <fexit prog> ip_epilogue: bti j [...]

I strongly suspect we need a higher-level API to say "poke the patchable callsite in the prologue", rather than assuming that offset 0 always means that, or it'll be *very* easy for this to go wrong.

Ah, bpf_arch_text_poke() only patches bpf progs, and the patch-site in bpf prog prologue is constructed for bpf_arch_text_poke(), so we always know the patch-site offset. There's no compiler generated instruction here, so it seems to be not a problem.

When is poke_type *not* BPF_MOD_CALL?>

The bpf_tramp_image_put() example above uses BPF_MOD_JUMP.

I assume that means BPF also uses this for non-ftrace reasons?

This function is NOT used for ftrace patch-site. It's only used to patch bpf image.

How is RCU used for that? It's not clear to me how that works for PREEMPT_RCU (which is the usual configuration for arm64), since we can easily be in a preemptible context, outside of an RCU read side critical section, yet call into a trampoline.

I know that for livepatching we need to use stacktracing to ensure we've finished using code we'd like to free, and I can't immediately see how you can avoid that here. I'm suspicious that there's still a race where threads can enter the trampoline and it can be subsequently freed.

For ftrace today we get away with entering the existing trampolines when not intended because those are statically allocated, and the race is caught when acquiring the ops inside the ftrace core code. This case is different because the CPU can fetch the instruction and execute that at any time, without any RCU involvement.

Can you give more details on how the scheme described above works? How *exactly*` do you ensure that threads which have entered the trampoline (and may have been immediately preempted by an interrupt) have returned? Which RCU mechanism are you using?

If you can point me at where this is implemented I'm happy to take a look.

IIUC, task rcu's critical section ends at a voluntary context switch, since no volutary context switch occurs in a progoluge, when a task rcu's critical section ends, we can ensure no one is running in the prologue [1].

For bpf trampoline, the scenario is similar, except that it may sleep, so a reference count is increased when entering the trampoline and decreased when exiting the trampoline, so we can wait for the reference count to become zero to make sure there is no one in the sleepable region [2].
