scripts: Switch to more portable Perl shebang

2017-05-14T02:20:44Z

The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix. The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl. This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody. Perl's executable is detected automatically. This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the default behavior. While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?). Signed-off-by: Kamil Rytarowski Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

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.

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.

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

2016-01-13T01:35:41Z

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

2015-01-29T08:19:25Z

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.

s390/ftrace,kprobes: allow to patch first instruction

2014-10-27T12:27:27Z

If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller): If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop (right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block), or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function. If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode). This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only two bytes. Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction. Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu. Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any stop_machine() execution. This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates correct pt_regs contents automatically. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
