   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 ".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 #        [...]
  40 #
  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:
  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 ".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 #        [...]
  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.
