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 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.
15#
16# This is no easy feat. This script is called just after the original
17# object is compiled and before it is linked.
18#
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.
23#
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.
28#
29#  .section ".sched.text", "ax"
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#        [...]
40#
41# Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be
42# offset from .sched.text. If we make another file called tmp.s with:
43#
44#  .section __mcount_loc
45#  .quad  my_func + 0x5
46#  .quad  my_func + 0x1b
47#
48# We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it to the original
49# object.
50#
51# But this gets hard if my_func is not globl (a static function).
52# In such a case we have:
53#
54#  .section ".sched.text", "ax"
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#        [...]
65#
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.
70#
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.
77#
78# Here are the steps we take:
79#
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.
