Later on boot up, the kernel +# will read this list, save the locations and turn them into nops. +# When tracing or profiling is later enabled, these locations will then +# be converted back to pointers to some function. +# +# This is no easy feat. This script is called just after the original +# object is compiled and before it is linked. +# +# The references to the call sites are offsets from the section of text +# that the call site is in. Hence, all functions in a section that +# has a call site to mcount, will have the offset from the beginning of +# the section and not the beginning of the function. +# +# 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. +# e.g. +# +# .section ".text.sched" +# .globl my_func +# my_func: +# [...] +# call mcount (offset: 0x5) +# [...] +# ret +# other_func: +# [...] +# call mcount (offset: 0x1b) +# [...] +# +# Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be +# offset from .text.sched. If we make another file called tmp.s with: +# +# .section __mcount_loc +# .quad my_func + 0x5 +# .quad my_func + 0x1b +# +# We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it to the original +# object. +# +# But this gets hard if my_func is not globl (a static function). +# In such a case we have: +# +# .section ".text.sched" +# my_func: +# [...] +# call mcount (offset: 0x5) +# [...] +# ret +# .globl my_func +# other_func: +# [...] +# call mcount (offset: 0x1b) +# [...] +# +# If we make the tmp.s the same as above, when we link together with +# the original object, we will end up with two symbols for my_func: +# one local, one global. After final compile, we will end up with +# an undefined reference to my_func. +# +# Since local objects can reference local variables, we need to find +# a way to make tmp.o reference the local objects of the original object +# file after it is linked together. To do this, we convert the my_func +# into a global symbol before linking tmp.o. Then after we link tmp.o +# we will only have a single symbol for my_func that is global. +# We can convert my_func back into a local symbol and we are done. +# +# Here are the steps we take: +# +# 1) Record all the local symbols by using 'nm' +# 2) Use objdump to find all the call site offsets and sections for +# mcount. +# 3) Compile the list into its own object. +# 4) Do we have to deal with local functions? If not, go to step 8. +# 5) Make an object that converts these local functions to global symbols +# with objcopy. +# 6) Link together this new object with the list object. +# 7) Convert the local functions back to local symbols and rename +# the result as the original object. +# End. +# 8) Link the object with the list object. +# 9) Move the result back to the original object. +# End. +# + +use strict; + +my $P = $0; +$P =~ s@.*/@@g; + +my $V = '0.1'; + +if ($#ARGV < 6) { + print "usage: $P arch objdump objcopy cc ld nm rm mv inputfile\n"; + print "version: $V\n"; + exit(1); +} + +my ($arch, $objdump, $objcopy, $cc, $ld, $nm, $rm, $mv, $inputfile) = @ARGV; + +$objdump = "objdump" if ((length $objdump) == 0); +$objcopy = "objcopy" if ((length $objcopy) == 0); +$cc = "gcc" if ((length $cc) == 0); +$ld = "ld" if ((length $ld) == 0); +$nm = "nm" if ((length $nm) == 0); +$rm = "rm" if ((length $rm) == 0); +$mv = "mv" if ((length $mv) == 0); + +#print STDERR "running: $P '$arch' '$objdump' '$objcopy' '$cc' '$ld' " . +# "'$nm' '$rm' '$mv' '$inputfile'\n"; + +my %locals; # List of local (static) functions +my %weak; # List of weak functions +my %convert; # List of local functions used that needs conversion + +my $type; +my $section_regex; # Find the start of a section +my $function_regex; # Find the name of a function + # (return offset and func name) +my $mcount_regex; # Find the call site to mcount (return offset) + +if ($arch eq "x86_64") { + $section_regex = "Disassembly of section"; + $function_regex = "^([0-9a-fA-F]+)\\s+<(.*?)>:"; + $mcount_regex = "^\\s*([0-9a-fA-F]+):.*\\smcount([+-]0x[0-9a-zA-Z]+)?\$"; + $type = ".quad"; + + # force flags for this arch + $ld .= " -m elf_x86_64"; + $objdump .= " -M x86-64"; + $objcopy .= " -O elf64-x86-64"; + $cc .= " -m64"; + +} elsif ($arch eq "i386") { + $section_regex = "Disassembly of section"; + $function_regex = "^([0-9a-fA-F]+)\\s+<(.*?)>:"; + $mcount_regex = "^\\s*([0-9a-fA-F]+):.*\\smcount\$"; + $type = ".long"; + + # force flags for this arch + $ld .= " -m elf_i386"; + $objdump .= " -M i386"; + $objcopy .= " -O elf32-i386"; + $cc .= " -m32"; + +} else { + die "Arch $arch is not supported with CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD"; +} + +my $text_found = 0; +my $read_function = 0; +my $opened = 0; +my $mcount_section = "__mcount_loc"; + +my $dirname; +my $filename; +my $prefix; +my $ext; + +if ($inputfile =~ m,^(.*)/([^/]*)$,) { + $dirname = $1; + $filename = $2; +} else { + $dirname = "."; + $filename = $inputfile; +} + +if ($filename =~ m,^(.*)(\.\S),) { + $prefix = $1; + $ext = $2; +} else { + $prefix = $filename; + $ext = ""; +} + +my $mcount_s = $dirname .
