      ftrace/MIPS: Add module support for C version of recordmcount · 412910cd
      Wu Zhangjin 提交于
      Since MIPS modules' address space differs from the core kernel space, to access
      the _mcount in the core kernel, the kernel functions in modules must use long
      call (-mlong-calls): load the _mcount address into one register and jump to the
      address stored by the register:
      
       c:  3c030000        lui     v1,0x0  <-------->  b label
                 c: R_MIPS_HI16  _mcount
                 c: R_MIPS_NONE  *ABS*
                 c: R_MIPS_NONE  *ABS*
      10:  64630000        daddiu  v1,v1,0
                10: R_MIPS_LO16 _mcount
                10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
                10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
      14:	03e0082d 	move	at,ra
      18:	0060f809 	jalr	v1
      label:
      
      In the old Perl version of recordmcount, we only need to record the position of
      the 1st R_MIPS_HI16 type of _mcount, and later, in ftrace_make_nop(), replace
      the instruction in this position by a "b label" and in ftrace_make_call(),
      replace it back.
      
      But, the default C version of recordmcount records all of the _mcount symbols,
      so, we must filter the 2nd _mcount like the Perl version of recordmcount does.
      
      The C version of recordmcount copes with the symbols before they are linked, So
      It doesn't know the type of the symbols and therefore can not filter the
      symbols as the Perl version of recordmcount does. But as we can see above, the
      2nd _mcount symbols of the long call alawys follows the 1st _mcount symbol of
      the same long call, which means the offset from the 1st to the 2nd is fixed, it
      is 0x10-0xc = 4 here, 4 is the length of the 1st load instruciton, for MIPS has
      fixed length of instructions, this offset is always 4.
      
      And as we know, the _mcount is inserted into the entry of every kernel
      function, the offset between the other _mcount's is expected to be always
      bigger than 4. So, to filter the 2ns _mcount symbol of the long call, we can
      simply check the offset between two _mcount symbols, If it is 4, then, filter
      the 2nd _mcount symbol.
      
      To avoid touching too much code, an 'empty' function fn_is_fake_mcount() is
      added for all of the archs, and the specific archs can override it via chaning
      the function pointer: is_fake_mcount in do_file() with the e_machine. e.g. This
      patch adds MIPS_is_fake_mcount() to override the default fn_is_fake_mcount()
      pointed by is_fake_mcount.
      
      This fn_is_fake_mcount() checks if the _mcount symbol is fake, e.g. the 2nd
      _mcount symbol of the long call is fake, for there are 2 _mcount symbols mapped
      to one real mcount call, so, one of them is fake and must be filtered.
      
      This fn_is_fake_mcount() is called in sift_rel_mcount() after finding the
      _mcount symbols and before adding the _mcount symbol into mrelp, so, it can
      prevent the fake mcount symbol going into the last __mcount_loc table.

      ftrace/MIPS: Add MIPS64 support for C version of recordmcount · a2d49358
      John Reiser 提交于
      MIPS64 has 'weird' Elf64_Rel.r_info[1,2], which must be used instead of
      the generic Elf64_Rel.r_info, otherwise, the C version of recordmcount
      will not work for "segmentation fault".
      
      Usage of "union mips_r_info" and the functions MIPS64_r_sym() and
      MIPS64_r_info() written by Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org>

      ftrace: Remove duplicate code for 64 and 32 bit in recordmcount.c · c28d5077
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The elf reader for recordmcount.c had duplicate functions for both
      32 bit and 64 bit elf handling. This was due to the need of using
      the 32 and 64 bit elf structures.
      
      This patch consolidates the two by using macros to define the 32
      and 64 bit names in a recordmcount.h file, and then by just defining
      a RECORD_MCOUNT_64 macro and including recordmcount.h twice we
      create the funtions for both the 32 bit version as well as the
      64 bit version using one code source.
