recordmcount.pl: fix typo in s390 mcount regex

2022-01-05T11:31:24+00:00

commit 4eb1782eaa9fa1c224ad1fa0d13a9f09c3ab2d80 upstream.

Commit 85bf17b28f97 ("recordmcount.pl: look for jgnop instruction as well
as bcrl on s390") added a new alternative mnemonic for the existing brcl
instruction. This is required for the combination old gcc version (pre 9.0)
and binutils since version 2.37.
However at the same time this commit introduced a typo, replacing brcl with
bcrl. As a result no mcount locations are detected anymore with old gcc
versions (pre 9.0) and binutils before version 2.37.
Fix this by using the correct mnemonic again.

recordmcount.pl: look for jgnop instruction as well as bcrl on s390

2021-12-22T08:05:14+00:00

commit 85bf17b28f97ca2749968d8786dc423db320d9c2 upstream.

On s390, recordmcount.pl is looking for "bcrl 0," instructions in
the objdump -d outpout. However since binutils 2.37, objdump -d
display "jgnop " for the same instruction. Update the
mcount_regex so that it accepts both.

scripts/recordmcount.{c,pl}: support -ffunction-sections .text.* section names

2021-03-17T15:10:15+00:00

commit 9c8e2f6d3d361439cc6744a094f1c15681b55269 upstream.

When building with -ffunction-sections, the compiler will place each
function into its own ELF section, prefixed with ".text".  For example,
a simple test module with functions test_module_do_work() and
test_module_wq_func():

  % objdump --section-headers test_module.o | awk '/\.text/{print $2}'
  .text
  .text.test_module_do_work
  .text.test_module_wq_func
  .init.text
  .exit.text

Adjust the recordmcount scripts to look for ".text" as a section name
prefix.  This will ensure that those functions will be included in the
__mcount_loc relocations:

  % objdump --reloc --section __mcount_loc test_module.o
  OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
  0000000000000000 R_X86_64_64       .text.test_module_do_work
  0000000000000008 R_X86_64_64       .text.test_module_wq_func
  0000000000000010 R_X86_64_64       .init.text

scripts/recordmcount.pl: support big endian for ARCH sh

2021-03-03T16:44:31+00:00

[ Upstream commit 93ca696376dd3d44b9e5eae835ffbc84772023ec ]

The kernel test robot reported the following issue:

    CC [M]  drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o
  sh4-linux-objcopy: Unable to change endianness of input file(s)
  sh4-linux-ld: cannot find drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_gl_litex_soc_ctrl.o: No such file or directory
  sh4-linux-objcopy: 'drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_mx_litex_soc_ctrl.o': No such file

The problem is that the format of input file is elf32-shbig-linux, but
sh4-linux-objcopy wants to output a file which format is elf32-sh-linux:

  $ sh4-linux-objdump -d drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o | grep format
  drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o:     file format elf32-shbig-linux

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30+00:00

When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

scripts/recordmcount.c: account for .softirqentry.text

2016-09-28T23:19:02+00:00

be7635e7287e ("arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into
separate sections") added .softirqentry.text section, but it was not added
to recordmcount.  So functions in the section are untracable.  Add the
section to scripts/recordmcount.c and scripts/recordmcount.pl.

scripts/recordmcount.pl: support data in text section on powerpc

2016-01-13T01:35:41+00:00

If a text section starts out with a data blob before the first
function start label, disassembly parsing doing in recordmcount.pl
gets confused on powerpc, leading to creation of corrupted module
objects.

This was not a problem so far since the compiler would never create
such text sections.  However, this has changed with a recent change
in GCC 6 to support distances of > 2GB between a function and its
assoicated TOC in the ELFv2 ABI, exposing this problem.

There is already code in recordmcount.pl to handle such data blobs
on the sparc64 platform.  This patch uses the same method to handle
those on powerpc as well.

s390/ftrace: hotpatch support for function tracing

2015-01-29T08:19:25+00:00

Make use of gcc's hotpatch support to generate better code for ftrace
function tracing.
The generated code now contains only a six byte nop in each function
prologue instead of a 24 byte code block which will be runtime patched to
support function tracing.
With the new code generation the runtime overhead for supporting function
tracing is close to zero, while the original code did show a significant
performance impact.
