* riscv: remove MCOUNT_NAME workaroundNathan Chancellor2024-02-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that the minimum supported version of LLVM for building the kernel has been bumped to 13.0.1, the condition for using _mcount as MCOUNT_NAME is always true, as the build will fail during the configuration stage for older LLVM versions. Replace MCOUNT_NAME with _mcount directly. This effectively reverts commit 7ce047715030 ("riscv: Workaround mcount name prior to clang-13").

* nds32: Remove the architectureAlan Kao2022-03-071-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes employees. As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V, and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline support any more. While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

* recordmcount.pl: fix typo in s390 mcount regexHeiko Carstens2021-12-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 85bf17b28f97 ("recordmcount.pl: look for jgnop instruction as well as bcrl on s390") added a new alternative mnemonic for the existing brcl instruction. This is required for the combination old gcc version (pre 9.0) and binutils since version 2.37. However at the same time this commit introduced a typo, replacing brcl with bcrl. As a result no mcount locations are detected anymore with old gcc versions (pre 9.0) and binutils before version 2.37. Fix this by using the correct mnemonic again.

* nds32/ftrace: Fix Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `^'Steven Rostedt2021-10-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I received a build failure for a new patch I'm working on the nds32 architecture, and when I went to test it, I couldn't get to my build error, because it failed to build with a bunch of: Error: invalid operands (*UND* and *UND* sections) for `^' issues with various files. Those files were temporary asm files that looked like: kernel/.tmp_mc_fork.s I decided to look deeper, and found that the "mc" portion of that name stood for "mcount", and was created by the recordmcount.pl script. One that I wrote over a decade ago. Once I knew the source of the problem, I was able to investigate it further. The way the recordmcount.pl script works (BTW, there's a C version that simply modifies the ELF object) is by doing an "objdump" on the object file. Looks for all the calls to "mcount", and creates an offset of those locations from some global variable it can use (usually a global function name, found with <.*>:). Creates a asm file that is a table of references to these locations, using the found variable/function. Compiles it and links it back into the original object file. This asm file is called ".tmp_mc_<object_base_name>.s". The problem here is that the objdump produced by the nds32 object file, contains things that look like: 0000159a <.L3^B1>: 159a: c6 00 beqz38 $r6, 159a <.L3^B1> 159a: R_NDS32_9_PCREL_RELA .text+0x159e 159c: 84 d2 movi55 $r6, #-14 159e: 80 06 mov55 $r0, $r6 15a0: ec 3c addi10.sp #0x3c Where ".L3^B1 is somehow selected as the "global" variable to index off of. Then the assembly file that holds the mcount locations looks like this: .section __mcount_loc,"a",@progbits .align 2 .long .L3^B1 + -5522 .long .L3^B1 + -5384 .long .L3^B1 + -5270 .long .L3^B1 + -5098 .long .L3^B1 + -4970 .long .L3^B1 + -4758 .long .L3^B1 + -4122 [...] And when it is compiled back to an object to link to the original object, the compile fails on the "^" symbol. Simple solution for now, is to have the perl script ignore using function symbols that have an "^" in the name.

* scripts/recordmcount.pl: Remove check_objcopy() and $can_use_localNathan Chancellor2021-08-041-40/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When building ARCH=riscv allmodconfig with llvm-objcopy, the objcopy version warning from this script appears: WARNING: could not find objcopy version or version is less than 2.17. Local function references are disabled. The check_objcopy() function in scripts/recordmcount.pl is set up to parse GNU objcopy's version string, not llvm-objcopy's, which triggers the warning. Commit 799c43415442 ("kbuild: thin archives make default for all archs") made binutils 2.20 mandatory and commit ba64beb17493 ("kbuild: check the minimum assembler version in Kconfig") enforces this at configuration time so just remove check_objcopy() and $can_use_local instead, assuming --globalize-symbol is always available. llvm-objcopy has supported --globalize-symbol since LLVM 7.0.0 in 2018 and the minimum version for building the kernel with LLVM is 10.0.1 so there is no issue introduced: Link: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/ee5be798dae30d5f9414b01f76ff807edbc881aa Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210802210307.3202472-1-nathan@kernel.org Reviewed-by: Nick Desaulniers <ndesaulniers@google.com> Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <nathan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

For example, a simple test module with functions test_module_do_work() and test_module_wq_func(): % objdump --section-headers test_module.o | awk '/\.text/{print $2}' .text .text.test_module_do_work .text.test_module_wq_func .init.text .exit.text Adjust the recordmcount scripts to look for ".text" as a section name prefix. This will ensure that those functions will be included in the __mcount_loc relocations: % objdump --reloc --section __mcount_loc test_module.o OFFSET TYPE VALUE 0000000000000000 R_X86_64_64 .text.test_module_do_work 0000000000000008 R_X86_64_64 .text.test_module_wq_func 0000000000000010 R_X86_64_64 .init.text Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1542745158-25392-2-git-send-email-joe.lawrence@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Joe Lawrence <joe.lawrence@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org>

* powerpc/kbuild: Use flags variables rather than overriding LD/CC/ASNicholas Piggin2018-06-011-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The powerpc toolchain can compile combinations of 32/64 bit and big/little endian, so it's convenient to consider, e.g., `CC -m64 -mbig-endian` To be the C compiler for the purpose of invoking it to build target artifacts. So overriding the CC variable to include these flags works for this purpose. Unfortunately that is not compatible with the way the proposed new Kconfig macro language will work. After previous patches in this series, these flags can be carefully passed in using flags instead.

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 cpusChris Metcalf2016-10-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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,kprobes: allow to patch first instructionHeiko Carstens2014-10-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ftrace: Add arm64 support to recordmcountAKASHI Takahiro2014-05-291-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recordmcount utility under scripts is run, after compiling each object, to find out all the locations of calling _mcount() and put them into specific seciton named __mcount_loc. Then linker collects all such information into a table in the kernel image (between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc) for later use by ftrace. This patch adds arm64 specific definitions to identify such locations. There are two types of implementation, C and Perl. On arm64, only C version is used to build the kernel now that CONFIG_HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT is on. But Perl version is also maintained. This patch also contains a workaround just in case where a header file, elf.h, on host machine doesn't have definitions of EM_AARCH64 nor R_AARCH64_ABS64. Without them, compiling C version of recordmcount will fail.

* | tracing: Fix $mcount_regex for MIPS in recordmcount.plDavid Daney2010-07-221-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised. However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal code. This is what I originally saw: Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount in ftrace_make_nop(). This was causing relocations to be emitted for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount call sites. The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop() would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash. In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26 relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.
