2012-01-25recordmcount: Fix handling of elf64 big-endian objects.David Daney
commit 2e885057b7f75035f0b85e02f737891482815a81 upstream. 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.

2012-01-25kconfig/streamline-config.pl: Fix parsing Makefile with variablesSteven Rostedt
commit 364212fddaaa60c5a64f67a0f5624ad996ecc8a0 upstream. Thomas Lange reported that when he did a 'make localmodconfig', his config was missing the brcmsmac driver, even though he had the module loaded. Looking into this, I found the file: drivers/net/wireless/brcm80211/brcmsmac/Makefile had the following in the Makefile: MODULEPFX := brcmsmac obj-$(CONFIG_BRCMSMAC) += $(MODULEPFX).o The way streamline-config.pl works, is parsing all the obj-$(CONFIG_FOO) += foo.o lines to find that CONFIG_FOO belongs to the module foo.ko. But in this case, the brcmsmac.o was not used, but a variable in its place. By changing streamline-config.pl to remember defined variables in Makefiles and substituting them when they are used in the obj-X lines, allows Thomas (and others) to have their brcmsmac module stay configured when it is loaded and running "make localmodconfig".

2011-11-11kbuild: Fix help text not displayed in choice option.Srinivas Kandagatla
commit 3f198dfee49d2e9c30583c62b0c79286c78c7b44 upstream. Help text under choice menu is never displayed because it does not have symbol name associated with it, however many kconfigs have help text under choice, assuming that it will be displayed when user selects help. for example in Kconfig if we have: choice prompt "Choice" ---help--- HELP TEXT ... config A bool "A" config B bool "B" endchoice Without this patch "HELP TEXT" is not displayed when user selects help option when "Choice" is highlighted from menuconfig or xconfig or gconfig. This patch changes the logic in menu_get_ext_help to display help for cases which dont have symbol names like choice.

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.

Binutils 2.18.50 made a backwards-incompatible change in the way it writes ELF objects with over 65280 sections, to improve conformance with the ELF specification and interoperability with other ELF tools. Specifically, it no longer adds 256 to section indices SHN_LORESERVE and higher to skip over the reserved range SHN_LORESERVE through SHN_HIRESERVE; those values are only considered special in the st_shndx field, and not in other places where section indices are stored.

2011-05-19module: Sort exported symbolsAlessio Igor Bogani
This patch places every exported symbol in its own section (i.e. "___ksymtab+printk"). Thus the linker will use its SORT() directive to sort and finally merge all symbol in the right and final section (i.e. "__ksymtab"). The symbol prefixed archs use an underscore as prefix for symbols. To avoid collision we use a different character to create the temporary section names.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Add helper function get_sym_str_and_relp()Steven Rostedt
The code to get the symbol, string, and relp pointers in the two functions sift_rel_mcount() and nop_mcount() are identical and also non-trivial. Moving this duplicate code into a single helper function makes the code easier to read and more maintainable.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Remove duplicate code to find mcount symbolSteven Rostedt
The code in sift_rel_mcount() and nop_mcount() to get the mcount symbol number is identical. Replace the two locations with a call to a function that does the work.

2011-05-16kbuild/recordmcount: Add RECORDMCOUNT_WARN to warn about mcount callersSteven Rostedt
When mcount is called in a section that ftrace will not modify it into a nop, we want to warn about this. But not warn about this always. Now if the user builds the kernel with the option RECORDMCOUNT_WARN=1 then the build will warn about mcount callers that are ignored and will just waste execution time.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Add warning logic to warn on mcount not recordedSteven Rostedt
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. This change adds a option to recordmcount to warn when it finds a section that is ignored by ftrace but still contains mcount callers. This is not on by default as developers may not know if the section should be completely ignored or added to the whitelist.

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.

2011-05-16ftrace/recordmcount: Modify only executable sectionsSteven Rostedt
PROGBITS is not enough to determine if the section should be modified or not. Only process sections that are marked as executable. Cc: John Reiser <jreiser@bitwagon.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110421023737.991485123@goodmis.org Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>
