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

2018-12-09T01:54:08Z

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 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542745158-25392-2-git-send-email-joe.lawrence@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

Drop a bunch of metag references

2018-02-23T14:29:59Z

Now that arch/metag/ has been removed, drop a bunch of metag references in various codes across the whole tree: - VM_GROWSUP and __VM_ARCH_SPECIFIC_1. - MT_METAG_* ELF note types. - METAG Kconfig dependencies (FRAME_POINTER) and ranges (MAX_STACK_SIZE_MB). - metag cases in tools (checkstack.pl, recordmcount.c, perf).

ftrace: Allow for function tracing to record init functions on boot up

2017-03-25T00:51:49Z

Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer exists. Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as modules require different work for freeing its init code.

recordmcount: arm: Implement make_nop

2016-11-14T21:43:00Z

In similar spirit to x86 and arm64 support, add a make_nop_arm() to replace calls to mcount with a nop in sections that aren't traced.

nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus

2016-10-08T01:46:30Z

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

2016-09-28T23:19:02Z

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.

ftrace/scripts: Have recordmcount copy the object file

2015-12-16T20:46:07Z

Russell King found that he had weird side effects when compiling the kernel with hard linked ccache. The reason was that recordmcount modified the kernel in place via mmap, and when a file gets modified twice by recordmcount, it will complain about it. To fix this issue, Russell wrote a patch that checked if the file was hard linked more than once and would unlink it if it was. Linus Torvalds was not happy with the fact that recordmcount does this in place modification. Instead of doing the unlink only if the file has two or more hard links, it does the unlink all the time. In otherwords, it always does a copy if it changed something. That is, it does the write out if a change was made. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 2.6.37+ Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt
