2020-06-16recordmcount: support >64k sectionsSami Tolvanen
When compiling a kernel with Clang and LTO, we need to run recordmcount on vmlinux.o with a large number of sections, which currently fails as the program doesn't understand extended section indexes. This change adds support for processing binaries with >64k sections.

2019-10-12recordmcount: Fix nop_mcount() functionSteven Rostedt (VMware)
The removal of the longjmp code in recordmcount.c mistakenly made the return of make_nop() being negative an exit of nop_mcount(). It should not exit the routine, but instead just not process that part of the code. By exiting with an error code, it would cause the update of recordmcount to fail some files which would fail the build if ftrace function tracing was enabled.

2019-08-31recordmcount: Remove redundant cleanup() callsMatt Helsley
Redundant cleanup calls were introduced when transitioning from the old error/success handling via setjmp/longjmp -- the longjmp ensured the cleanup() call only happened once but replacing the success_file()/fail_file() calls with cleanup() meant that multiple cleanup() calls can happen as we return from function calls. In do_file(), looking just before and after the "goto out" jumps we can see that multiple cleanups() are being performed. We remove cleanup() calls from the nested functions because it makes the code easier to review -- the resources being cleaned up are generally allocated and initialized in the callers so freeing them there makes more sense. Other redundant cleanup() calls: mmap_file() is only called from do_file() and, if mmap_file() fails, then we goto out and do cleanup() there too. write_file() is only called from do_file() and do_file() calls cleanup() unconditionally after returning from write_file() therefore the cleanup() calls in write_file() are not necessary. find_secsym_ndx(), called from do_func()'s for-loop, when we are cleaning up here it's obvious that we break out of the loop and do another cleanup(). __has_rel_mcount() is called from two parts of do_func() and calls cleanup(). In theory we move them into do_func(), however these in turn prove redundant so another simplification step removes them as well.

2019-08-31recordmcount: Rewrite error/success handlingMatt Helsley
Recordmcount uses setjmp/longjmp to manage control flow as it reads and then writes the ELF file. This unusual control flow is hard to follow and check in addition to being unlike kernel coding style. So we rewrite these paths to use regular return values to indicate error/success. When an error or previously-completed object file is found we return an error code following kernel coding conventions -- negative error values and 0 for success when we're not returning a pointer. We return NULL for those that fail and return non-NULL pointers otherwise. One oddity is already_has_rel_mcount -- there we use pointer comparison rather than string comparison to differentiate between previously-processed object files and returning the name of a text section.

2019-08-31recordmcount: Remove unused fd from uwrite() and ulseek()Matt Helsley
uwrite() works within the pseudo-mapping and extends it as necessary without needing the file descriptor (fd) parameter passed to it. Similarly, ulseek() doesn't need its fd parameter. These parameters were only added because the functions bear a conceptual resemblance to write() and lseek(). Worse, they obscure the fact that at the time uwrite() and ulseek() are called fd_map is not a valid file descriptor. Remove the unused file descriptor parameters that make it look like fd_map is still valid.

2014-06-26recordmcount/MIPS: Fix possible incorrect mcount_loc table entries in modulesAlex Smith
On MIPS calls to _mcount in modules generate 2 instructions to load the _mcount address (and therefore 2 relocations). The mcount_loc table should only reference the first of these, so the second is filtered out by checking the relocation offset and ignoring ones that immediately follow the previous one seen. However if a module has an _mcount call at offset 0, the second relocation would not be filtered out due to old_r_offset == 0 being taken to mean that the current relocation is the first one seen, and both would end up in the mcount_loc table. This results in ftrace_make_nop() patching both (adjacent) instructions to branches over the _mcount call sequence like so: 0xffffffffc08a8000: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8014 0xffffffffc08a8004: 04 00 00 10 b 0xffffffffc08a8018 0xffffffffc08a8008: 2d 08 e0 03 move at,ra ... The second branch is in the delay slot of the first, which is defined to be unpredictable - on the platform on which this bug was encountered, it triggers a reserved instruction exception. Fix by initializing old_r_offset to ~0 and using that instead of 0 to determine whether the current relocation is the first seen.

2012-01-06recordmcount: Fix handling of elf64 big-endian objects.David Daney
In ELF64, the sh_flags field is 64-bits wide. recordmcount was erroneously treating it as a 32-bit wide field. For little endian objects this works because the flags of interest (SHF_EXECINSTR) reside in the lower 32 bits of the word, and you get the same result with either a 32-bit or 64-bit read. Big endian objects on the other hand do not work at all with this error. The fix: Correctly treat sh_flags as 64-bits wide in elf64 objects. The symptom I observed was that my __start_mcount_loc..__stop_mcount_loc was empty even though ftrace function tracing was enabled.

2011-05-25ftrace/recordmcount: Avoid STT_FUNC symbols as base on ARMRabin Vincent
While find_secsym_ndx often finds the unamed local STT_SECTION, if a section has only one function in it, the ARM toolchain generates the STT_FUNC symbol before the STT_SECTION, and recordmcount finds this instead. This is problematic on ARM because in ARM ELFs, "if a [STT_FUNC] symbol addresses a Thumb instruction, its value is the address of the instruction with bit zero set (in a relocatable object, the section offset with bit zero set)". This leads to incorrect mcount addresses being recorded. Fix this by not using STT_FUNC symbols as the base on ARM.

There's some sections that should not have mcount recorded and should not have modifications to the that code. But currently they waste some time by calling mcount anyway (which simply returns). As the real answer should be to either whitelist the section or have gcc ignore it fully.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Make ignored mcount calls into nops at compile timeSteven Rostedt
There are sections that are ignored by ftrace for the function tracing because the text is in a section that can be removed without notice. The mcount calls in these sections are ignored and ftrace never sees them. The downside of this is that the functions in these sections still call mcount. Although the mcount function is defined in assembly simply as a return, this added overhead is unnecessary. The solution is to convert these callers into nops at compile time. A better solution is to add 'notrace' to the section markers, but as new sections come up all the time, it would be nice that they are delt with when they are created. Later patches will deal with finding these sections and doing the proper solution. Thanks to H. Peter Anvin for giving me the right nops to use for x86. Cc: "H.

2010-10-29ftrace/MIPS: Add module support for C version of recordmcountWu Zhangjin
Since MIPS modules' address space differs from the core kernel space, to access the _mcount in the core kernel, the kernel functions in modules must use long call (-mlong-calls): load the _mcount address into one register and jump to the address stored by the register: c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0 <--------> b label c: R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 10: 64630000 daddiu v1,v1,0 10: R_MIPS_LO16 _mcount 10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 10: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS* 14: 03e0082d move at,ra 18: 0060f809 jalr v1 label: In the old Perl version of recordmcount, we only need to record the position of the 1st R_MIPS_HI16 type of _mcount, and later, in ftrace_make_nop(), replace the instruction in this position by a "b label" and in ftrace_make_call(), replace it back. But, the default C version of recordmcount records all of the _mcount symbols, so, we must filter the 2nd _mcount like the Perl version of recordmcount does. The C version of recordmcount copes with the symbols before they are linked, So It doesn't know the type of the symbols and therefore can not filter the symbols as the Perl version of recordmcount does. But as we can see above, the 2nd _mcount symbols of the long call alawys follows the 1st _mcount symbol of the same long call, which means the offset from the 1st to the 2nd is fixed, it is 0x10-0xc = 4 here, 4 is the length of the 1st load instruciton, for MIPS has fixed length of instructions, this offset is always 4. And as we know, the _mcount is inserted into the entry of every kernel function, the offset between the other _mcount's is expected to be always bigger than 4. So, to filter the 2ns _mcount symbol of the long call, we can simply check the offset between two _mcount symbols, If it is 4, then, filter the 2nd _mcount symbol. To avoid touching too much code, an 'empty' function fn_is_fake_mcount() is added for all of the archs, and the specific archs can override it via chaning the function pointer: is_fake_mcount in do_file() with the e_machine. e.g. This patch adds MIPS_is_fake_mcount() to override the default fn_is_fake_mcount() pointed by is_fake_mcount. This fn_is_fake_mcount() checks if the _mcount symbol is fake, e.g. the 2nd _mcount symbol of the long call is fake, for there are 2 _mcount symbols mapped to one real mcount call, so, one of them is fake and must be filtered. This fn_is_fake_mcount() is called in sift_rel_mcount() after finding the _mcount symbols and before adding the _mcount symbol into mrelp, so, it can prevent the fake mcount symbol going into the last __mcount_loc table.

2010-10-29ftrace/MIPS: Add MIPS64 support for C version of recordmcountJohn Reiser
MIPS64 has 'weird' Elf64_Rel.r_info[1,2], which must be used instead of the generic Elf64_Rel.r_info, otherwise, the C version of recordmcount will not work for "segmentation fault".

2010-10-14ftrace: Remove duplicate code for 64 and 32 bit in recordmcount.cSteven Rostedt
The elf reader for recordmcount.c had duplicate functions for both 32 bit and 64 bit elf handling. This was due to the need of using the 32 and 64 bit elf structures. This patch consolidates the two by using macros to define the 32 and 64 bit names in a recordmcount.h file, and then by just defining a RECORD_MCOUNT_64 macro and including recordmcount.h twice we create the funtions for both the 32 bit version as well as the 64 bit version using one code source.
