5# recordmcount.pl - makes a section called __mcount_loc that holds
6#                   all the offsets to the calls to mcount.
7#
8#
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.
16#
17# This is no easy feat. This script is called just after the original
18# object is compiled and before it is linked.
19#
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.
25#
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.
29#
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.
33#
34# e.g.
35#
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#        [...]
52#
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:
56#
57#  .section __mcount_loc
58#  .quad  func2 - 0x10
59#  .quad  func2 + 0x10
60#
61# We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it back to the original
62# object.
63#
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:
67#
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"
79#
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.
85#
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.
92#
93# Here are the steps we take:
94#
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.
