#!/usr/bin/perl -w # (c) 2008, Steven Rostedt # 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 is a section in vmlinux called # __mcount_loc that contains a list of pointers to all the # call sites in the kernel that call mcount. 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, $inputfile) = @ARGV; if ($arch eq "i386") { $ld = "ld -m elf_i386"; $objdump = "objdump -M i386"; $objcopy = "objcopy -O elf32-i386"; $cc = "gcc -m32"; } if ($arch eq "x86_64") { $ld = "ld -m elf_x86_64"; $objdump = "objdump -M x86-64"; $objcopy = "objcopy -O elf64-x86-64"; $cc = "gcc -m64"; } $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; my %convert; my $type; my $section_regex; # Find the start of a section my $function_regex; # Find the name of a function (return 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 = "<(.*?)>:"; $mcount_regex = "^\\s*([0-9a-fA-F]+):.*\\smcount([+-]0x[0-9a-zA-Z]+)?\$"; $type = ".quad"; } elsif ($arch eq "i386") { $section_regex = "Disassembly of section"; $function_regex = "<(.*?)>:"; $mcount_regex = "^\\s*([0-9a-fA-F]+):.*\\smcount\$"; $type = ".long"; } else { die "Arch $arch is not supported with CONFIG_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD"; } my $text_found = 0; my $read_function = 0; my $opened = 0; my $text = ""; 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 .
