commitb6143d10d2upstream. The initial support for dynamic ftrace trampolines in modules made use of an indirect branch which loaded its target from the beginning of a special section (e71a4e1beb("arm64: ftrace: add support for far branches to dynamic ftrace")). Since no instructions were being patched, no cache maintenance was needed. However, later inbe0f272bfc("arm64: ftrace: emit ftrace-mod.o contents through code") this code was reworked to output the trampoline instructions directly into the PLT entry but, unfortunately, the necessary cache maintenance was overlooked. Add a call to __flush_icache_range() after writing the new trampoline instructions but before patching in the branch to the trampoline.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
