Every mcount() call in the MIPS 32-bit kernel is done as follows: [...] move at, ra jal _mcount addiu sp, sp, -8 [...] but upon returning from the mcount() function, the stack pointer is not adjusted properly. This is explained in details in 58b69401 (MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken function tracing). Commit ad8c3969 ("MIPS: Unbreak function tracer for 64-bit kernel.) fixed the stack manipulation for 64-bit but it didn't fix it completely for MIPS32.

Dynamic tracing of kernel modules is broken on 32-bit MIPS. When modules are loaded, the kernel crashes when dynamic tracing is enabled with: cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing echo > set_ftrace_filter echo function > current_tracer 1) arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c When the kernel boots, or when a module is initialized, ftrace_make_nop() modifies every _mcount call site to eliminate the ftrace overhead. However, when ftrace is later enabled for a call site, ftrace_make_call() does not currently restore the _mcount call correctly for module call sites. Added ftrace_modify_code_2r() and modified ftrace_make_call() to fix this. 2) arch/mips/kernel/mcount.S _mcount assembly routine is supposed to have the caller's _mcount call site address in register a0. However, a0 is currently not calculated correctly for module call sites. a0 should be (ra - 20) or (ra - 24), depending on whether the kernel was built with KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS or not. This fix has been tested on Broadcom BMIPS5000 processor. Dynamic tracing now works for both built-in functions and module functions.

Dynamic function tracing was not working on MIPS. When doing dynamic tracing, the tracer attempts to match up the passed in address with the one the compiler creates in the mcount tables. The MIPS code was passing in the return address from the tracing function call, but the compiler tables were the address of the function call. So they wouldn't match. Just subtracting 8 from the return address will give the address of the function call. Easy enough.

Function tracing is currently broken for all 32 bit MIPS platforms. When tracing is enabled, the kernel immediately hangs on boot. This is a result of commit b732d439 that changes the kernel/trace/Kconfig file so that is no longer forces FRAME_POINTER when FUNCTION_TRACING is enabled. MIPS frame pointers are generally considered to be useless because they cannot be used to unwind the stack. Unfortunately the MIPS function tracing code has bugs that are masked by the use of frame pointers. This commit fixes the bugs so that MIPS frame pointers don't need to be enabled. The bugs are a result of the odd calling sequence used to call the trace routine. This calling sequence is inserted into every traceable function when the tracing CONFIG option is enabled. This sequence is generated for 32bit MIPS platforms by the compiler via the "-pg" flag. Part of the sequence is "addiu sp,sp,-8" in the delay slot after every call to the trace routine "_mcount" (some legacy thing where 2 arguments used to be pushed on the stack). The _mcount routine is expected to adjust the sp by +8 before returning. So when not disabled, the original jalr and addiu will be there, so _mcount has to adjust sp. The problem is that when tracing is disabled for a function, the "jalr _mcount" instruction is replaced with a nop, but the "addiu sp,sp,-8" is still executed and the stack pointer is left trashed. When frame pointers are enabled the problem is masked because any access to the stack is done through the frame pointer and the stack pointer is restored from the frame pointer when the function returns. This patch writes two nops starting at the address of the "jalr _mcount" instruction whenever tracing is disabled. This means that the "addiu sp,sp.-8" will be converted to a nop along with the "jalr". When disabled, there will be two nops. This is SMP safe because the first time this happens is during ftrace_init() which is before any other processor has been started. Subsequent calls to enable/disable tracing when other CPUs ARE running will still be safe because the enable will only change the first nop to a "jalr" and the disable, while writing 2 nops, will only be changing the "jalr". This patch also stops using stop_machine() to call the tracer enable/disable routines and calls them directly because the routines are SMP safe. When the kernel first boots we have to be able to handle the gcc generated jalr, addui sequence until ftrace_init gets a chance to run and change the sequence. At this point mcount just adjusts the stack and returns. When ftrace_init runs, we convert the jalr/addui to nops. Then whenever tracing is enabled we convert the first nop to a "jalr mcount+8". The mcount+8 entry point skips the stack adjust.

As documented in the GCC 4.5 docs [1] -mmcount-ra-address uses register $12 to pass the stack offset of the return address to the _mcount function. On 64-bit kernels $12 is t0 but in 32-bit kernels it is t4 so we need to use $12 instead of t0 here to be correct for both kernel types.

That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to _mcount" from "David Daney <ddaney@caviumnetworks.com>" have added a new option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location of the return address to _mcount. Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function, which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable. In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be enabled, otherwise, no side effect. and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support the old gcc versions. with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS), so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called "ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy $12(t0). (Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole thing more beautiful!)

The implementation of function graph tracer for MIPS is a little different from X86. in MIPS, gcc(with -pg) only transfer the caller's return address(at) and the _mcount's return address(ra) to us. For the kernel part without -mlong-calls: move at, ra jal _mcount For the module part with -mlong-calls: lui v1, hi16bit_of_mcount addiu v1, v1, low16bit_of_mcount move at, ra jal _mcount Without -mlong-calls, if the function is a leaf, it will not save the return address(ra): ffffffff80101298 <au1k_wait>: ffffffff80101298: 67bdfff0 daddiu sp,sp,-16 ffffffff8010129c: ffbe0008 sd s8,8(sp) ffffffff801012a0: 03a0f02d move s8,sp ffffffff801012a4: 03e0082d move at,ra ffffffff801012a8: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount> ffffffff801012ac: 00020021 nop so, we can hijack it directly in _mcount, but if the function is non-leaf, the return address is saved in the stack. ffffffff80133030 <copy_process>: ffffffff80133030: 67bdff50 daddiu sp,sp,-176 ffffffff80133034: ffbe00a0 sd s8,160(sp) ffffffff80133038: 03a0f02d move s8,sp ffffffff8013303c: ffbf00a8 sd ra,168(sp) ffffffff80133040: ffb70098 sd s7,152(sp) ffffffff80133044: ffb60090 sd s6,144(sp) ffffffff80133048: ffb50088 sd s5,136(sp) ffffffff8013304c: ffb40080 sd s4,128(sp) ffffffff80133050: ffb30078 sd s3,120(sp) ffffffff80133054: ffb20070 sd s2,112(sp) ffffffff80133058: ffb10068 sd s1,104(sp) ffffffff8013305c: ffb00060 sd s0,96(sp) ffffffff80133060: 03e0082d move at,ra ffffffff80133064: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount> ffffffff80133068: 00020021 nop but we can not get the exact stack address(which saved ra) directly in _mcount, we need to search the content of at register in the stack space or search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction in the text. 'Cause we can not prove there is only a match in the stack space, so, we search the text instead. as we can see, if the first instruction above "move at, ra" is not a store instruction, there should be a leaf function, so we hijack the at register directly via putting &return_to_handler into it, otherwise, we search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction to get the stack offset, and then the stack address. we use the above copy_process() as an example, we at last find "ffbf00a8", 0xa8 is the stack offset, we plus it with s8(fp), that is the stack address, we hijack the content via writing the &return_to_handler in. If with -mlong-calls, since there are two more instructions above "move at, ra", so, we can move the pointer to the position above "lui v1, hi16bit_of_mcount".

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an "empty" function, it returns directly without any more action . When enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us. Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter). In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller is implemented as a real tracing function respectively. But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of -mlong-calls in arch/mips/Makefile: MODFLAGS += -mlong-calls. The stuff becomes a little more complex. We need to cope with two different type of calling to _mcount. For the kernel part, the calling to _mcount(result of "objdump -hdr vmlinux"). is like this: 108: 03e0082d move at,ra 10c: 0c000000 jal 0 <fpcsr_pending> 10c: R_MIPS_26 _mcount 10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 110: 00020021 nop For the module with -mlong-calls, it looks like this: c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0 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 In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the module version, we need to choose one of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with "R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount". and In the kernel verion, without module tracing support, we just need to replace "jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and filter the tracing of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop instruction. but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left 32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else. the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these two instructions: lui v1,0x0 addiu v1,v1,0 If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to: lui v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller addiu v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions oursevles. Is there a simpler solution? Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and ftrace_caller is the same: _mcount: ftrace_caller: j ftrace_stub nop ...(do real tracing here)... ftrace_stub: jr ra move ra, at By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do the real tracing job. what about filtering job? we just need to do this: lui v1, hi_16bit_of_mcount <--> b 1f (0x10000004) addiu v1, v1, low_16bit_of_mcount move at, ra jalr v1 nop 1f: (rec->ip + 12) In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for writing the mips64-specific function_regex. In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid" trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of "simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to _mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount. This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us. and -ffunction-sections is incompatible with -pg, so, disable it when ftracer is enabled.
