#!/usr/bin/perl -w # (c) 2008, Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com> # Licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL License version 2 # # recordmcount.pl - makes a section called __mcount_loc that holds # all the offsets to the calls to mcount. # # # What we want to end up with this is that each object file will have a # section called __mcount_loc that will hold the list of pointers to mcount # callers. After final linking, the vmlinux will have within .init.data the # list of all callers to mcount between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc. # 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. # # When parse this object file using 'objdump', the references to the call # sites are offsets from the section 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. # # But where this section will reside finally in vmlinx is undetermined at # this point. So we can't use this kind of offsets to record the final # address of this call site. # # The trick is to change the call offset referring the start of a section to # referring a function symbol in this section. During the link step, 'ld' will # compute the final address according to the information we record. # # e.g. # # .section ".sched.text", "ax" # [...] # func1: # [...] # call mcount (offset: 0x10) # [...] # ret # .globl fun2 # func2: (offset: 0x20) # [...] # [...] # ret # func3: # [...] # call mcount (offset: 0x30) # [...] # # Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be # 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 func2 - 0x10 # .quad func2 + 0x10 # # We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it back to the original # object. # # In our algorithm, we will choose the first global function we meet in this # section as the reference. But this gets hard if there is no global functions # in this section. In such a case we have to select a local one. E.g. func1: # # .section ".sched.text", "ax" # func1: # [...] # call mcount (offset: 0x10) # [...] # ret # func2: # [...] # call mcount (offset: 0x20) # [...] # .section "other.section" # # 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 func1: # one local, one global. After final compile, we will end up with # an undefined reference to func1 or a wrong reference to another global # func1 in other files. # # 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 func1 # into a global symbol before linking tmp.o. Then after we link tmp.o # we will only have a single symbol for func1 that is global. # We can convert func1 back into a local symbol and we are done. # # Here are the steps we take: # # 1) Record all the local and weak 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. # 8) Link the object with the list object. # 9) Move the result back to the original object. # use strict; my $P = $0; $P =~ s@.*/@@g; my $V = '0.1'; if ($#ARGV != 11) { print "usage: $P arch endian bits objdump objcopy cc ld nm rm mv is_module inputfile\n"; print "version: $V\n"; exit(1); } my ($arch, $endian, $bits, $objdump, $objcopy, $cc, $ld, $nm, $rm, $mv, $is_module, $inputfile) = @ARGV; # This file refers to mcount and shouldn't be ftraced, so lets' ignore it if ($inputfile =~ m,kernel/trace/ftrace\.o$,) { exit(0); } # Acceptable sections to record. my %text_sections = ( ".text" => 1, ".sched.text" => 1, ".spinlock.text" => 1, ".irqentry.text" => 1, ".text.unlikely" => 1, ); $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 $local_regex; # Match a local function (return function) my $weak_regex; # Match a weak function (return function) 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) my $alignment; # The .align value to use for $mcount_section my $section_type; # Section header plus possible alignment command my $can_use_local = 0; # If we can use local function references # Shut up recordmcount if user has older objcopy my $quiet_recordmcount = ".tmp_quiet_recordmcount"; my $print_warning = 1; $print_warning = 0 if ( -f $quiet_recordmcount); ## # check_objcopy - whether objcopy supports --globalize-symbols # # --globalize-symbols came out in 2.17, we must test the version # of objcopy, and if it is less than 2.17, then we can not # record local functions. sub check_objcopy { open (IN, "$objcopy --version |") or die "error running $objcopy"; while (<IN>) { if (/objcopy.*\s(\d+)\.(\d+)/) { $can_use_local = 1 if ($1 > 2 || ($1 == 2 && $2 >= 17)); last; } } close (IN); if (!$can_use_local && $print_warning) { print STDERR "WARNING: could not find objcopy version or version " .
