      MIPS: Tracing: Add dynamic function graph tracer for MIPS · e17ff5fe
      Wu Zhangjin 提交于
      This patch make function graph tracer work with dynamic function tracer.
      
      To share the source code of dynamic function tracer(MCOUNT_SAVE_REGS),
      and avoid restoring the whole saved registers, we need to restore the ra
      register from the stack.
      
      (NOTE: This not work with 32bit! need to ensure why!)

      MIPS: Tracing: Add function graph tracer support for MIPS · 29c5d346
      Wu Zhangjin 提交于
      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".

      MIPS: Tracing: Add dynamic function tracer support · 538f1952
      Wu Zhangjin 提交于
      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!

      Wu Zhangjin 提交于
      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.
