When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative. Suppress messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN". We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new .cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted PC to see if it lies within that section. This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in the minimal framework for other architectures.

If a text section starts out with a data blob before the first function start label, disassembly parsing doing in recordmcount.pl gets confused on powerpc, leading to creation of corrupted module objects. This was not a problem so far since the compiler would never create such text sections. However, this has changed with a recent change in GCC 6 to support distances of > 2GB between a function and its assoicated TOC in the ELFv2 ABI, exposing this problem. There is already code in recordmcount.pl to handle such data blobs on the sparc64 platform. This patch uses the same method to handle those on powerpc as well.

由 Heiko Carstens 提交于
If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller): If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop (right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block), or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function. If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode). This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only two bytes. Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction. Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu. Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any stop_machine() execution. This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates correct pt_regs contents automatically.

由 AKASHI Takahiro 提交于
Recordmcount utility under scripts is run, after compiling each object, to find out all the locations of calling _mcount() and put them into specific seciton named __mcount_loc. Then linker collects all such information into a table in the kernel image (between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc) for later use by ftrace. This patch adds arm64 specific definitions to identify such locations. There are two types of implementation, C and Perl. On arm64, only C version is used to build the kernel now that CONFIG_HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT is on. But Perl version is also maintained. This patch also contains a workaround just in case where a header file, elf.h, on host machine doesn't have definitions of EM_AARCH64 nor R_AARCH64_ABS64. Without them, compiling C version of recordmcount will fail.

I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised. However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal code. This is what I originally saw: Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount in ftrace_make_nop(). This was causing relocations to be emitted for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount call sites. The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop() would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash. In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26 relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.

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 the user has an older version of objcopy, that can not handle converting local symbols to global and vice versa, then some functions will not be part of the dynamic function tracer. The current code in recordmcount.pl will print a warning in this case. Unfortunately, there exists lots of files that may have this issue with older objcopys and this will cause a warning for every file compiled with this issue. This patch solves this overwhelming output by creating a .tmp_quiet_recordmcount file on the first instance the warning is encountered. The warning will not print if this file exists. The temp file is deleted at the beginning of the compile to ensure that the warning will happen once again on new compiles (because the issue is still present).

The number of arguments passed into recordmcount.pl is 10, but the code checks if only 7 are passed in. Signed-off-by: NLi Hong <lihong.hi@gmail.com> LKML-Reference: <20091027065733.GB22032@uhli> Signed-off-by: NSteven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

The documentation currently says we will use the first function in a section as a reference. The actual algorithm is: choose the first global function we meet as a reference. If there is none, choose the first local one. Change the documentation to be consistent with the code. Also add several other clarifications.

Based on the commit: a586df06 "x86: Support __attribute__((__cold__)) in gcc 4.3" some of the functions goes to the ".text.unlikely" section. Looks like there's not many of them (I found printk, panic, __ssb_dma_not_implemented, fat_fs_error), but still worth to include I think.

Roland Dreier found that a section that contained only a weak function in one of the staging drivers and this caused recordmcount.pl to spit out a warning and fail. Although it is strange that a driver would have a weak function, and this function only be used in one place, it should not be something to make recordmcount.pl fail. This patch fixes the issue in a simple manner: if only weak functions exist in a section, then that section will not be recorded.
