tracing: Fix recordmcount.pl to handle sections with only weak functions

2009-08-07T06:50:29Z

Roland Dreier found that a section that contained only a weak function in one of the staging drivers and this caused recordmcount.pl to spit out a warning and fail. Although it is strange that a driver would have a weak function, and this function only be used in one place, it should not be something to make recordmcount.pl fail. This patch fixes the issue in a simple manner: if only weak functions exist in a section, then that section will not be recorded.

Well we tracked it down and it is powerpc64 specific. Seems that in drivers/hwmon/lm93.c there's a function called: LM93_IN_FROM_REG() But PPC64 has function descriptors and the real function names (the ones you see in objdump) start with a '.'. Thus this in objdump you have: Disassembly of section .text: 0000000000000000 <.LM93_IN_FROM_REG>: 0: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0 4: fb 81 ff e0 std r28,-32(r1) The function name used is .LM93_IN_FROM_REG. But gcc considers symbols that start with ".L" as a special symbol that is used inside the assembly stage. The nm passed into recordmcount uses the --synthetic option which shows the ".L" symbols (my runs outside of the build did not include the --synthetic option, so my older patch worked). We see the function as a local. Now to capture all the locations that use "mcount" we need to have a reference to link into the object file a list of mcount callers. We need a reference that will not disappear. We try to use a global function and if that does not work, we use a local function as a reference. But to relink the section back into the object, we need to make it global. In this case, we run objcopy using --globalize-symbol and --localize-symbol to convert the symbol into a global symbol, link the mcount list, then convert it back to a local symbol. This works great except for this case. .L* symbols can not be converted into a global symbol, and the mcount section referencing it will remain unresolved.

ftrace: Only update $offset when we update $ref_func

2009-07-23T16:20:30Z

The value of $offset should be the offset of $ref_func from the beginning of the object file. Therefore, we should set both variables together. This fixes a bug I was hitting on sh where $offset (which is used to calcualte the addends for the __mcount_loc entries) was being set multiple times and didn't correspond to $ref_func's offset in the object file. The addends in __mcount_loc were calculated incorrectly, resulting in ftrace dynamically modifying addresses that weren't mcount call sites.

ftrace: Fix the conditional that updates $ref_func

2009-07-23T16:20:08Z

Fix the conditional that checks if we already have a $ref_func and that the new function is weak. The code as previously checking whether either condition was false, and we really need to only update $ref_func is both cconditions are false.

tracing: Remove .globl in the scripts/recordmcount.pl doc

2009-07-18T10:21:17Z

I was reading throught the recordmcount.pl starting comment, and spotted a tiny discrepancy. The second example is about my_func not being global, but the example code has the ".globl my_func" statement just moved.
