MIPS: tracing: Fix the indentation of mcount.S

2010-08-05T12:26:06Z

The commit "MIPS: Tracing: Cleanup the arguments passing of prepare_ftrace_return" has moved the "jal prepare_ftrace_return" instruction after the handling of the 3rd argument but forgot to remove the superfluous space before the related instructions.

MIPS: Tracing: Fix argument passing of the 32bit support with gcc 4.5

2010-07-05T16:17:28Z

As documented in the GCC 4.5 docs [1] -mmcount-ra-address uses register $12 to pass the stack offset of the return address to the _mcount function. On 64-bit kernels $12 is t0 but in 32-bit kernels it is t4 so we need to use $12 instead of t0 here to be correct for both kernel types.

MIPS: Tracing: Make function graph tracer work with -mmcount-ra-address

2009-12-17T01:57:27Z

That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to _mcount" from "David Daney " have added a new option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location of the return address to _mcount. Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function, which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable. In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be enabled, otherwise, no side effect. and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support the old gcc versions. with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS), so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called "ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy $12(t0). (Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole thing more beautiful!)

MIPS: Tracing: Reserve $12(t0) for mcount-ra-address of gcc 4.5

2009-12-17T01:57:26Z

A new option -mmcount-ra-address for gcc 4.5 have been sent by David Daney in the thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to _mcount", which help to record the location of the return address(ra) for the function graph tracer of MIPS to hijack the return address easier and safer. that option used the $12(t0) register by default, so, we reserve it for it, and use t1,t2,t3 instead of t0,t1,t2.

MIPS: Tracing: Make ftrace for MIPS work without -fno-omit-frame-pointer

2009-12-17T01:57:25Z

When remove the -fno-omit-frame-pointer, gcc will not save the frame pointer for us, we need to save one ourselves.

MIPS: Tracing: Add dynamic function graph tracer for MIPS

2009-12-17T01:57:25Z

This patch make function graph tracer work with dynamic function tracer. To share the source code of dynamic function tracer(MCOUNT_SAVE_REGS), and avoid restoring the whole saved registers, we need to restore the ra register from the stack. (NOTE: This not work with 32bit! need to ensure why!)
