[PATCH 1/8] [PATCH 1/8] tracing: Amend documentation in recordmcount.pl to reflect implementation

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 6229 bytes --]

From: Li Hong <lihong.hi@gmail.com>

The documentation currently says we will use the first function in a section
as a reference. The actual algorithm is: choose the first global function we
meet as a reference. If there is none, choose the first local one.
Change the documentation to be consistent with the code.

Also add several other clarifications.

 #
-# The trick is to find a way to record the beginning of the section.
-# The way we do this is to look at the first function in the section
-# which will also be the location of that section after final link.

-#        call mcount (offset: 0x1b)
+#        call mcount (offset: 0x30)
 #        [...]
 #
 # Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be
-# offset from .sched.text. If we make another file called tmp.s with:
+# offset from .sched.text. If we choose global symbol func2 as a reference and
+# make another file called tmp.s with the new offsets:
 #
 #  .section __mcount_loc
-#  .quad  my_func + 0x5
-#  .quad  my_func + 0x1b
+#  .quad  func2 - 0x10

+# We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it back to the original

+# in this section. In such a case we have to select a local one. E.g. func1:

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1056 bytes --]

From: Li Hong <lihong.hi@gmail.com>

The ftrace.c file may reference the mcount function and this may interfere
with the recordmcount.pl processing. To avoid this, the code does not
process the kernel/trace/ftrace.o. But currently the check is against
a relative path. This patch modifies the check to succeed if the path
is an absolute path.

[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2952 bytes --]

From: Li Hong <lihong.hi@gmail.com>

The current logic to check objcopy's version is incorrect. This patch
fixes the algorithm and disables the use of local functions as a reference
if the objcopy version does not support static to global conversions.

Also remove some usused variables.

Move the mcount section check to the beginning of the objdump read loop.
This makes the code easier to follow since the search for the mcount
section is performed first before the mcount callers are processed.

Add a variable to contain the regex needed to find weak functions
in the 'nm' output. This will allow other archs to easily override it.

Also rename the regex variable $nm_regex to $local_regex to be more
descriptive.

From: Li Hong <lihong.hi@gmail.com>

If a weak function is used as a relocation reference for mcount callers
and that function is overridden, it will cause ftrace to fail at run time.

The current code should prevent a weak function from being used, but if
one is, the code should exit with an error to fail at compile time.
