From: John Reiser <jreiser@BitWagon.com>

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".

Usage of "union mips_r_info" and the functions MIPS64_r_sym() and
MIPS64_r_info() written by Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org>

[-- Attachment #1: 0002-ftrace-MIPS-Add-module-support-for-C-version-of-reco.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 7523 bytes --]

From: Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com>

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.

Ralf,

Ingo and I were discussing this patch series, and since it is very
specific to MIPS, we agreed that it makes more sense going through your
tree. it's based off of mainline's commit of:

commit e3e1288e86a07cdeb0aee5860a2dff111c6eff79
Merge: 9ae6d03 964dc25
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Wed Oct 27 19:04:36 2010 -0700

Would you mind pulling from my tree?

Thanks!

-- Steve

Acked-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org>

 I have looked through it and spotted nothing obviously wrong, but I can't 
afford any further testing, especially at run time, sorry.

 One point to note -- it seems to me the code currently assumes a 32-bit 
model, i.e. the use of the -msym32 GCC option suitable for a 64-bit kernel 
loaded to a CKSEG0 address (cf. KBUILD_SYM32 in arch/mips/Makefile), tools 
support permitting.  That means it does not (correctly) support kernels 
loaded to an XPHYS address as required for some platforms (or otherwise 
chosen for testing such a configuration; modulo some processor errata and 
bootloader limitations, it is generally OK to run the kernel from XPHYS on 
64-bit chips even if the entire RAM fits into CKSEG0).

 For the avoidance of doubt -- I'm just mentioning it to emphasise a 
possible future direction for improvement of this code -- not an objection 
against this submission, that is certainly a good foundation for future 
development.

 Thanks to everybody involved.

  Maciej

I'd like to get an Acked-by from Ralf and Maciej on this.

Selects HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT to use the C version of the recordmcount
intead of the old Perl Version of recordmcount.
