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 is a section in vmlinux called
10 # __mcount_loc that contains a list of pointers to all the
11 # call sites in the kernel that call mcount. Later on boot up, the kernel
12 # will read this list, save the locations and turn them into nops.
13 # When tracing or profiling is later enabled, these locations will then
14 # be converted back to pointers to some function.
16 # This is no easy feat. This script is called just after the original
17 # object is compiled and before it is linked.
19 # The references to the call sites are offsets from the section of text
20 # that the call site is in. Hence, all functions in a section that
21 # has a call site to mcount, will have the offset from the beginning of
22 # the section and not the beginning of the function.
24 # The trick is to find a way to record the beginning of the section.
25 # The way we do this is to look at the first function in the section
26 # which will also be the location of that section after final link.
27 # e.g.
29 # .section ".text.sched"
30 # .globl my_func
31 # my_func:
32 # [...]
33 # call mcount (offset: 0x5)
34 # [...]
35 # ret
36 # other_func:
37 # [...]
38 # call mcount (offset: 0x1b)
39 # [...]
41 # Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be
42 # offset from .text.sched. If we make another file called tmp.s with:
44 # .section __mcount_loc
45 # .quad my_func + 0x5
46 # .quad my_func + 0x1b
48 # We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it to the original
49 # object.
51 # But this gets hard if my_func is not globl (a static function).
52 # In such a case we have:
54 # .section ".text.sched"
55 # my_func:
56 # [...]
57 # call mcount (offset: 0x5)
58 # [...]
59 # ret
60 # .globl my_func
61 # other_func:
62 # [...]
63 # call mcount (offset: 0x1b)
64 # [...]
66 # If we make the tmp.s the same as above, when we link together with
67 # the original object, we will end up with two symbols for my_func:
68 # one local, one global. After final compile, we will end up with
69 # an undefined reference to my_func.
71 # Since local objects can reference local variables, we need to find
72 # a way to make tmp.o reference the local objects of the original object
73 # file after it is linked together. To do this, we convert the my_func
74 # into a global symbol before linking tmp.o. Then after we link tmp.o
75 # we will only have a single symbol for my_func that is global.
76 # We can convert my_func back into a local symbol and we are done.
78 # Here are the steps we take:
80 # 1) Record all the local symbols by using 'nm'
81 # 2) Use objdump to find all the call site offsets and sections for
82 # mcount.
83 # 3) Compile the list into its own object.
84 # 4) Do we have to deal with local functions? If not, go to step 8.
85 # 5) Make an object that converts these local functions to global symbols
86 # with objcopy.
87 # 6) Link together this new object with the list object.
88 # 7) Convert the local functions back to local symbols and rename
89 # the result as the original object.
90 # End.
91 # 8) Link the object with the list object.
92 # 9) Move the result back to the original object.
93 # End.
