From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

On ARCH=um, loading a module doesn't result in its constructors
getting called, which breaks module gcov since the debugfs files
are never registered. On the other hand, in-kernel constructors
have already been called by the dynamic linker, so we can't call
them again.

Get out of this conundrum by splitting CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS into
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS_KERNEL and CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS_MODULE, both
of which are enabled by default if CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS is turned
on, but CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS_KERNEL depends on !UML so that it's
not used on ARCH=um.

Also remove the "if !UML" from GCOV selecting CONSTRUCTORS now,
since we really do want CONSTRUCTORS, just not kernel binary
ones.

I have no idea which tree this might go through, any suggestions?

Do you expect other users for these new config symbols? If not it seems
to me that the goal of enabling module constructors for UML could also
be achieved without introducing new config symbols.

For example you could suppress calling any built-in kernel constructors
in case of UML by extending the ifdef in do_ctors() to depend on both
CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS and !CONFIG_UML (maybe with an explanatory comment).

Of course you'd still need to remove the !UML dependency in
CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL.

So far Andrew Morton was kind enough to pick up gcov-kernel related
changes, so that route might be an option.

Right.

I can post a separate patch and we can see which one looks nicer?

* [PATCH v2] init/gcov: allow CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS on UML to fix module gcov

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

On ARCH=um, loading a module doesn't result in its constructors
getting called, which breaks module gcov since the debugfs files
are never registered. On the other hand, in-kernel constructors
have already been called by the dynamic linker, so we can't call
them again.

Get out of this conundrum by allowing CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS to be
selected, but avoiding the in-kernel constructor calls.

Also remove the "if !UML" from GCOV selecting CONSTRUCTORS now,
since we really do want CONSTRUCTORS, just not kernel binary
ones.

Tested with a kernel configured with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL, without
the patch nothing ever appears in /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/ (apart
from the reset file), and with it we get the files and they work.

v2:
 * special-case UML instead of splitting the CONSTRUCTORS config

* [PATCH v2] init/gcov: allow CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS on UML to fix module gcov

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

On ARCH=um, loading a module doesn't result in its constructors
getting called, which breaks module gcov since the debugfs files
are never registered. On the other hand, in-kernel constructors
have already been called by the dynamic linker, so we can't call
them again.

Get out of this conundrum by allowing CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS to be
selected, but avoiding the in-kernel constructor calls.

Also remove the "if !UML" from GCOV selecting CONSTRUCTORS now,
since we really do want CONSTRUCTORS, just not kernel binary
ones.

Tested with a kernel configured with CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL, without
the patch nothing ever appears in /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/ (apart
from the reset file), and with it we get the files and they work.

v2:
 * special-case UML instead of splitting the CONSTRUCTORS config

Looks good+nicer than v1 to me!

I also tested this patch on s390 and can confirm that it doesn't break
gcov-kernel there.

Andrew, do we need additional reviews/sign-offs? Could this go in via
your tree?

Just to be sure: could you confirm that this test statement for UML also
applies to v2, i.e. that it fixes the original problem you were seeing?

Hi Johannes and Peter, sorry to bother but I have one question 
on this change. The do_ctors() won’t be executed for UML 
because  *the constructors have already been called for ELF*. 

The init_array section for each C file is linked to *vmlinux*  between 
*__ctors_start*  and  *__ctors_end* symbols. See link:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.12.2/source/include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h#L676

In my environment, UML+GCC 10, I can't find __gcov_init executed 
before kernel starts. So I did some trace and found glibc __libc_csu_init 
will only execute constructors between *__init_array_start*and *__init_array_end*.  
Which means if do_ctors() is not executed for UML, no elsewhere will 
the constructors be executed.

Shall we remove the *!defined(CONFIG_UML)* for GCC, or I just missed 
some steps to make the GCOV work for UML?

No, that doesn't seem like the right solution.

Perhaps then with that toolchain (or configuration thereof) we need to
provide __init_array_start/end labels?

Or ... maybe that actually just needs to be removed, so that the
toolchain gets to choose?

Hmm. Pretty sure it worked for me, I think also with gcc 10, but not
sure exactly where I tested.

provide __init_array_start/end labels?

Or ... maybe that actually just needs to be removed, so that the
toolchain gets to choose?

Hmm. Pretty sure it worked for me, I think also with gcc 10, but not
sure exactly where I tested.

Yes, that's how I worked around  in my local environment 
(change linker script to add _init_array_start/end labels).
So the __gcov_init is called before start_kernel.

I will make sure my environment is clean and try again. 
Could you please use gdb to check when __gcov_init is called in your setup?
e.g.
(1) gdb *your uml elf* 
(2) b __gcov_init
(3) r
(4) when the execution is breaked, use 'bt' to check the call stack
Thanks

I'm not an expert for the UML-arch, but based on this report I did some
investigations. I think that this patch might be partially in error.

Before the patch no constructors were called for UML and as a result
gcov-kernel profiling was not available, neither for built-in code nor
for module code.

With the patch CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS was made available on UML and with it
gcov-kernel profiling. This works well for kernel modules (which I
assume is what Johannes tested), but it fails for built-in code. Note
that since UML does not specify ARCH_HAS_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL you need to
manually add GCOV_PROFILE := y to any kernel Makefile if you want to
enable profiling for that built-in code.

The subject patch is based on the assumption that constructors for
built-in kernel code is called from glibc when the vmlinux executable is
started. This does not work the way it was assumed it would, and would
be broken if it did.

It does not work because, as was already pointed out, glibc is looking
for the __init_array_start symbol to locate the list of constructor
function pointers, but the kernel uses a different symbol name
(__ctors_start). If you add the __init_array_start and _end symbols
glibc will call these functions correctly, but the kernel will crash.

The reason for the crash is that the kernel implementation of
__gcov_init() which is called from the constructors emitted by GCC's
gcov-profiling code assumes that base kernel facilities (such as printk)
have been initialized and are working as expected. Of course this is not
the case when the function is called by glibc before any kernel init
function was run.

I see multiple ways to go forward:

0. Do nothing

This patch doesn't break anything - it's just only partially effective
in that in enables gcov-kernel profiling for modules, but not for
built-in code.


1. Revert this patch

=> gcov-kernel profiling for kernel modules on UML would no longer work


2. Enable do_ctors() on UML

=> gcov-kernel profiling would work on UML for both kernel modules and
built-in code. There's a risk though that other constructors unrelated
to gcov might be called too late (I saw at least one
register_tm_clones() call while looking at the .init_array section of an
on UML executable). This risk is specific to UML code that runs before
start_kernel(). I'm not sure if there is anything there that consciously
relies on constructors.


3. Change gcov_init() to work without relying on kernel facilities and
add init_array_start and _end symbols to KERNEL_CTORS in
include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h so that glibc can find and run
constructors before start_kernel(). Not sure if this is easily possible.
Certainly this is the option that results in the most amount of work.

=> gcov-kernel profiling would work on UML, any other constructors for
code run before start_kernel() would work, but this would also affect
other kernel code that relies on constructors (currently KASAN)... so
might also have further unwanted side-effects.


Any thoughts, comments or ideas for other alternatives?
