[for-next][PATCH 01/14] scripts/sorttable: Remove unused macro defines

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The code of sorttable.h was copied from the recordmcount.h  which defined
a bunch of Elf MACROs so that they could be used between 32bit and 64bit
functions. But there's several MACROs that sorttable.h does not use but
was copied over. Remove them to clean up the code.

[for-next][PATCH 02/14] scripts/sorttable: Remove unused write functions

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The code of sorttable.h was copied from the recordmcount.h  which defined
various write functions for different sizes (2, 4, 8 byte lengths). But
sorttable only uses the 4 byte writes. Remove the extra versions as they
are not used.

[for-next][PATCH 04/14] scripts/sorttable: Have the ORC code use the _r() functions to read

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The ORC code reads the section information directly from the file. This
currently works because the default read function is for 64bit little
endian machines. But if for some reason that ever changes, this will
break. Instead of having a surprise breakage, use the _r() functions that
will read the values from the file properly.

[for-next][PATCH 05/14] scripts/sorttable: Make compare_extable() into two functions

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Instead of having the compare_extable() part of the sorttable.h header
where it get's defined twice, since it is a very simple function, just
define it twice in sorttable.c, and then it can use the proper read
functions for the word size and endianess and the Elf_Addr macro can be
removed from sorttable.h.

Also add a micro optimization. Instead of:

    if (a < b)
        return -1;
    if (a > b)
        return 1;
    return 0;

That can be shorten to:

   if (a < b)
      return -1;
   return a > b;

[for-next][PATCH 06/14] scripts/sorttable: Convert Elf_Ehdr to union

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In order to remove the double #include of sorttable.h for 64 and 32 bit
to create duplicate functions for both, replace the Elf_Ehdr macro with a
union that defines both Elf64_Ehdr and Elf32_Ehdr, with field e64 for the
64bit version, and e32 for the 32bit version.

Then a macro etype can be used instead to get to the proper value.

This will eventually be replaced with just single functions that can
handle both 32bit and 64bit ELF parsing.

[for-next][PATCH 07/14] scripts/sorttable: Replace Elf_Shdr Macro with a union

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In order to remove the double #include of sorttable.h for 64 and 32 bit
to create duplicate functions for both, replace the Elf_Shdr macro with a
union that defines both Elf64_Shdr and Elf32_Shdr, with field e64 for the
64bit version, and e32 for the 32bit version.

It can then use the macro etype to get the proper value.

This will eventually be replaced with just single functions that can
handle both 32bit and 64bit ELF parsing.

[for-next][PATCH 09/14] scripts/sorttable: Add helper functions for Elf_Ehdr

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In order to remove the double #include of sorttable.h for 64 and 32 bit
to create duplicate functions, add helper functions for Elf_Ehdr.  This
will create a function pointer for each helper that will get assigned to
the appropriate function to handle either the 64bit or 32bit version.

This also moves the _r()/r() wrappers for the Elf_Ehdr references that
handle endian and size differences between the different architectures,
into the helper function and out of the open code which is more error
prone.

[for-next][PATCH 10/14] scripts/sorttable: Add helper functions for Elf_Shdr

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

In order to remove the double #include of sorttable.h for 64 and 32 bit
to create duplicate functions, add helper functions for Elf_Shdr.  This
will create a function pointer for each helper that will get assigned to
the appropriate function to handle either the 64bit or 32bit version.

This also moves the _r()/r() wrappers for the Elf_Shdr references that
handle endian and size differences between the different architectures,
into the helper function and out of the open code which is more error
prone.

[Steven Rostedt]

In order to remove the double #include of sorttable.h for 64 and 32 bit
to create duplicate functions, add helper functions for Elf_Sym.  This
will create a function pointer for each helper that will get assigned to
the appropriate function to handle either the 64bit or 32bit version.

This also removes the last references of etype and _r() macros from the
sorttable.h file as their references are now just defined in the
appropriate architecture version of the helper functions. All read
functions now exist in the helper functions which makes it easier to
maintain, as the helper functions define the necessary architecture sizes.

[for-next][PATCH 12/14] scripts/sorttable: Use uint64_t for mcount sorting

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The mcount sorting defines uint_t to uint64_t on 64bit architectures and
uint32_t on 32bit architectures. It can work with just using uint64_t as
that will hold the values of both, and they are not used to point into the
ELF file.

sizeof(uint_t) is used for defining the size of the mcount_loc section.
Instead of using a type, define long_size and use that instead. This will
allow the header code to be moved into the C file as generic functions and
not need to include sorttable.h twice, once for 64bit and once for 32bit.

[for-next][PATCH 13/14] scripts/sorttable: Move code from sorttable.h into sorttable.c

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Instead of having the main code live in a header file and included twice
with MACROs that define the Elf structures for 64 bit or 32 bit, move the
code in the C file now that the Elf structures are defined in a union that
has both. All accesses to the Elf structure fields are done through helper
function pointers. If the file being parsed if for a 64 bit architecture,
all the helper functions point to the 64 bit versions to retrieve the Elf
fields. The same is true if the architecture is 32 bit, where the function
pointers will point to the 32 bit helper functions.

Note, when the value of a field can be either 32 bit or 64 bit, a 64 bit
is always returned, as it works for the 32 bit code as well.

This makes the code easier to read and maintain, and it now all exists in
sorttable.c and sorttable.h may be removed.

[for-next][PATCH 14/14] scripts/sorttable: Get start/stop_mcount_loc from ELF file directly

[Steven Rostedt]

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The get_mcount_loc() does a cheesy trick to find the start_mcount_loc and
stop_mcount_loc values. That trick is:

 file_start = popen(" grep start_mcount System.map | awk '{print $1}' ", "r");

and

 file_stop = popen(" grep stop_mcount System.map | awk '{print $1}' ", "r");

Those values are stored in the Elf symbol table. Use that to capture those
values. Using the symbol table is more efficient and more robust. The
above could fail if another variable had "start_mcount" or "stop_mcount"
as part of its name.
