MIPS: ftrace: Add missing CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE

2013-06-10T16:15:18+00:00

arch_ftrace_update_code and ftrace_modify_all_code are only
available if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is selected.

Fixes the following build problem on MIPS randconfig:

arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c: In function 'arch_ftrace_update_code':
arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c:31:2: error: implicit declaration of function
'ftrace_modify_all_code' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]

MIPS: Whitespace cleanup.

2013-02-01T09:00:22+00:00

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

MIPS: Function tracer: Fix broken function tracing

2013-01-31T14:28:48+00:00

Function tracing is currently broken for all 32 bit MIPS platforms.
When tracing is enabled, the kernel immediately hangs on boot.
This is a result of commit b732d439cb43336cd6d7e804ecb2c81193ef63b0
that changes the kernel/trace/Kconfig file so that is no longer
forces FRAME_POINTER when FUNCTION_TRACING is enabled.

MIPS frame pointers are generally considered to be useless because
they cannot be used to unwind the stack. Unfortunately the MIPS
function tracing code has bugs that are masked by the use of frame
pointers. This commit fixes the bugs so that MIPS frame pointers
don't need to be enabled.

The bugs are a result of the odd calling sequence used to call the trace
routine. This calling sequence is inserted into every traceable function
when the tracing CONFIG option is enabled. This sequence is generated
for 32bit MIPS platforms by the compiler via the "-pg" flag.

Part of the sequence is "addiu sp,sp,-8" in the delay slot after every
call to the trace routine "_mcount" (some legacy thing where 2 arguments
used to be pushed on the stack). The _mcount routine is expected to
adjust the sp by +8 before returning.  So when not disabled, the original
jalr and addiu will be there, so _mcount has to adjust sp.

The problem is that when tracing is disabled for a function, the
"jalr _mcount" instruction is replaced with a nop, but the
"addiu sp,sp,-8" is still executed and the stack pointer is left
trashed. When frame pointers are enabled the problem is masked
because any access to the stack is done through the frame
pointer and the stack pointer is restored from the frame pointer when
the function returns.

This patch writes two nops starting at the address of the "jalr _mcount"
instruction whenever tracing is disabled. This means that the
"addiu sp,sp.-8" will be converted to a nop along with the "jalr".  When
disabled, there will be two nops.

This is SMP safe because the first time this happens is during
ftrace_init() which is before any other processor has been started.
Subsequent calls to enable/disable tracing when other CPUs ARE running
will still be safe because the enable will only change the first nop
to a "jalr" and the disable, while writing 2 nops, will only be changing
the "jalr". This patch also stops using stop_machine() to call the
tracer enable/disable routines and calls them directly because the
routines are SMP safe.

When the kernel first boots we have to be able to handle the gcc
generated jalr, addui sequence until ftrace_init gets a chance to run
and change the sequence. At this point mcount just adjusts the stack
and returns. When ftrace_init runs, we convert the jalr/addui to nops.
Then whenever tracing is enabled we convert the first nop to a "jalr
mcount+8". The mcount+8 entry point skips the stack adjust.

MIPS: Mask jump target in ftrace_dyn_arch_init_insns().

2011-05-10T17:15:22+00:00

The current code is abusing the uasm interface by passing jump target
addresses with high bits set.  Mask the addresses to avoid annoying
messages at boot time.

MIPS, Tracing: Fix set_graph_function of function graph tracer

2011-03-14T20:07:24+00:00

trace.func should be set to the recorded ip of the mcount calling site
in the __mcount_loc section to filter the function entries configured
through the tracing/set_graph_function interface, but before, this is
set to the self_ra(the return address of mcount), which has made
set_graph_function not work as expected.

This fixes it via calculating the right recorded ip in the __mcount_loc
section and assign it to trace.func.

MIPS, Tracing: Clean up prepare_ftrace_return()

2011-03-14T20:07:24+00:00

The old prepare_ftrace_return() for MIPS is confused and have introduced
some problem. This patch cleans up the names of the arguments, variables
and related functions.

For MIPS, the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not really the
'selfpc' described in ftrace-design.txt but instead it is the self
return address. This did break the compatibility of the generic
interface but really reduced one unneeded calculation for to get the
current function name, the parent return address and the self return
address are enough, no need to tranform the self return address to the
self address.

But set_graph_function of function graph tracer is an exception, it does
need the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() as 'selfpc', for it
will use 'selfpc' to match user's configuration of function graph
entries, but in reality, it doesn't need the 'selfpc' but the recorded
ip address of the mcount calling site in the __mcount_loc section. So,
the 2nd argument of prepare_ftrace_return() is not important, the real
requirement is the right recorded ip address should be calculated and
assign to trace.func, this will be fixed in the next patches.

MIPS, Tracing: Substitute in_kernel_space() for in_module()

2011-03-14T20:07:24+00:00

The old in_module() may not work in some situations(e.g. when module &
kernel are in the same address space when CONFIG_MAPPED_KERNEL=y), The
in_kernel_space() is more generic and it is also easy to be implemented
via cloning the existing core_kernel_text(), so, replace the in_module()
with in_kernel_space().

MIPS, Tracing: Speed up function graph tracer

2011-03-14T20:07:24+00:00

This simply moves the "ip-=4" statement down to the end of the do { ...

subsequent memory loading and comparison.
