Some ftrace features are broken since commit 714a8d02ca ("arm64: asm:
Override SYM_FUNC_START when building the kernel with BTI"). For example
the function_graph tracer:
$ echo function_graph > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/current_tracer
[ 36.107016] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 115 at kernel/trace/ftrace.c:2691 ftrace_modify_all_code+0xc8/0x14c
When ftrace_modify_graph_caller() attempts to write a branch at
ftrace_graph_call, it finds the "BTI J" instruction inserted by
SYM_INNER_LABEL() instead of a NOP, and aborts.
It turns out we don't currently need the BTI landing pads inserted by
SYM_INNER_LABEL:
* ftrace_call and ftrace_graph_call are only used for runtime patching
of the active tracer. The patched code is not reached from a branch.
* install_el2_stub is reached from a CBZ instruction, which doesn't
change PSTATE.BTYPE.
* __guest_exit is reached from B instructions in the hyp-entry vectors,
which aren't subject to BTI checks either.
Remove the BTI annotation from SYM_INNER_LABEL.
