Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] objtool: Add mcount sub-command
Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2022 16:21:37 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220318105140.43914-1-sv@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
This patchset adds support to implement 'objtool mcount' command.
Right now, objtool is built if CONFIG_STACK_VALIDATION is enabled.
And, '__mcount_loc' section is generated by objtool when --mcount
option is passed to check sub-command.
For architectures to be able to generate '__mcount_loc' section
without having to do stack validation, introduce 'mcount' as
a sub-command to objtool. This way, objtool is built for mcount
if CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_USE_OBJTOOL is enabled. Additionally,
architectures can select HAVE_NOP_MCOUNT to be able to nop out
mcount call sites.
TODO: Enable "objtool mcount" for clang LTO builds.
Sathvika Vasireddy (3):
objtool: Move common code to utils.c
objtool: Enable and implement 'mcount' subcommand
objtool/mcount: Add powerpc specific functions
