2010-12-02	ftrace: Have recordmcount honor endianness in fn_ELF_R_INFO	John Reiser
	It looks to me like the change which introduced "virtual functions" forgot about cross-platform endianness. Thank you to Arnaud for supplying before+after data files do_mounts*.o. This fixes a MIPS build failure triggered by recordmcount.

2010-10-29	ftrace/MIPS: Add module support for C version of recordmcount	Wu 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.

2010-10-29	ftrace/MIPS: Add MIPS64 support for C version of recordmcount	John 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".

2010-10-14	ftrace: Remove duplicate code for 64 and 32 bit in recordmcount.c	Steven 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.
