5 # recordmcount.pl - makes a section called __mcount_loc that holds
6 # all the offsets to the calls to mcount.
9 # What we want to end up with this is that each object file will have a
10 # section called __mcount_loc that will hold the list of pointers to mcount
11 # callers. After final linking, the vmlinux will have within .init.data the
12 # list of all callers to mcount between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc.
13 # Later on boot up, the kernel will read this list, save the locations and turn
14 # them into nops. When tracing or profiling is later enabled, these locations
15 # will then be converted back to pointers to some function.
17 # This is no easy feat. This script is called just after the original
18 # object is compiled and before it is linked.
20 # When parse this object file using 'objdump', the references to the call
21 # sites are offsets from the section that the call site is in. Hence, all
22 # functions in a section that has a call site to mcount, will have the
23 # offset from the beginning of the section and not the beginning of the
24 # function.
26 # But where this section will reside finally in vmlinx is undetermined at
27 # this point. So we can't use this kind of offsets to record the final
28 # address of this call site.
30 # The trick is to change the call offset referring the start of a section to
31 # referring a function symbol in this section. During the link step, 'ld' will
32 # compute the final address according to the information we record.
34 # e.g.
36 # .section ".sched.text", "ax"
37 # [...]
38 # func1:
39 # [...]
40 # call mcount (offset: 0x10)
41 # [...]
42 # ret
43 # .globl fun2
44 # func2: (offset: 0x20)
45 # [...]
46 # [...]
47 # ret
48 # func3:
49 # [...]
50 # call mcount (offset: 0x30)
51 # [...]
53 # Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be
54 # offset from .sched.text. If we choose global symbol func2 as a reference and
55 # make another file called tmp.s with the new offsets:
57 # .section __mcount_loc
58 # .quad func2 - 0x10
59 # .quad func2 + 0x10
61 # We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it back to the original
62 # object.
64 # In our algorithm, we will choose the first global function we meet in this
65 # section as the reference. But this gets hard if there is no global functions
66 # in this section. In such a case we have to select a local one. E.g. func1:
68 # .section ".sched.text", "ax"
69 # func1:
70 # [...]
71 # call mcount (offset: 0x10)
72 # [...]
73 # ret
74 # func2:
75 # [...]
76 # call mcount (offset: 0x20)
77 # [...]
78 # .section "other.section"
80 # If we make the tmp.s the same as above, when we link together with
81 # the original object, we will end up with two symbols for func1:
82 # one local, one global. After final compile, we will end up with
83 # an undefined reference to func1 or a wrong reference to another global
84 # func1 in other files.
86 # Since local objects can reference local variables, we need to find
87 # a way to make tmp.o reference the local objects of the original object
88 # file after it is linked together. To do this, we convert func1
89 # into a global symbol before linking tmp.o. Then after we link tmp.o
90 # we will only have a single symbol for func1 that is global.
91 # We can convert func1 back into a local symbol and we are done.
93 # Here are the steps we take:
95 # 1) Record all the local and weak symbols by using 'nm'
96 # 2) Use objdump to find all the call site offsets and sections for
97 # mcount.
98 # 3) Compile the list into its own object.
99 # 4) Do we have to deal with local functions? If not, go to step 8.
100 # 5) Make an object that converts these local functions to global symbols
101 # with objcopy.
102 # 6) Link together this new object with the list object.
103 # 7) Convert the local functions back to local symbols and rename
104 # the result as the original object.
105 # 8) Link the object with the list object.
106 # 9) Move the result back to the original object.
