Subject: [PATCH v9 00/10] ftrace for MIPS

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

After getting the feedback of v8 revision from Thomas, I have written a
cnt3_to_63() based sched_clock() for MIPS and send it out as a standalone
patch("MIPS: Add a high precision sched_clock() via cnt32_to_63()").

This v9 revision only reserve the Ftrace parts. So, Steven or Ralf, Is it time
to apply it? Thanks!

Best Regards,
Wu Zhangjin

Subject: [PATCH v9 01/10] tracing: add static function tracer support for MIPS

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

If -pg of gcc is enabled with CONFIG_FUNCTION_TRACER=y. a calling to
_mcount will be inserted into each kernel function. so, there is a
possibility to trace the kernel functions in _mcount.

This patch add the MIPS specific _mcount support for static function
tracing. by default, ftrace_trace_function is initialized as
ftrace_stub(an empty function), so, the default _mcount will introduce
very little overhead. after enabling ftrace in user-space, it will jump
to a real tracing function and do static function tracing for us.

and -ffunction-sections is incompatible with -pg, so, disable it when
ftracer is enabled.

Subject: [PATCH v9 02/10] tracing: enable HAVE_FUNCTION_TRACE_MCOUNT_TEST for MIPS

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

There is an exisiting common ftrace_test_stop_func() in
kernel/trace/ftrace.c, which is used to check the global variable
ftrace_trace_stop to determine whether stop the function tracing.

This patch implepment the MIPS specific one to speedup the procedure.

Thanks goes to Zhang Le for Cleaning it up.

Subject: [PATCH v9 04/10] tracing: add dynamic function tracer support for MIPS

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

With dynamic function tracer, by default, _mcount is defined as an
"empty" function, it returns directly without any more action . When
enabling it in user-space, it will jump to a real tracing
function(ftrace_caller), and do the real job for us.

Differ from the static function tracer, dynamic function tracer provides
two functions ftrace_make_call()/ftrace_make_nop() to enable/disable the
tracing of some indicated kernel functions(set_ftrace_filter).

In the -v4 version, the implementation of this support is basically the same as
X86 version does: _mcount is implemented as an empty function and ftrace_caller
is implemented as a real tracing function respectively.

But in this version, to support module tracing with the help of
-mlong-calls in arch/mips/Makefile:

MODFLAGS += -mlong-calls.

The stuff becomes a little more complex. We need to cope with two
different type of calling to _mcount.

For the kernel part, the calling to _mcount(result of "objdump -hdr
vmlinux"). is like this:

108: 03e0082d move at,ra
10c: 0c000000 jal 0 <fpcsr_pending>
10c: R_MIPS_26 _mcount
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
10c: R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
110: 00020021 nop

For the module with -mlong-calls, it looks like this:

c: 3c030000 lui v1,0x0
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

In the kernel version, there is only one "_mcount" string for every
kernel function, so, we just need to match this one in mcount_regex of
scripts/recordmcount.pl, but in the module version, we need to choose
one of the two to match. Herein, I choose the first one with
"R_MIPS_HI16 _mcount".

and In the kernel verion, without module tracing support, we just need
to replace "jal _mcount" by "jal ftrace_caller" to do real tracing, and
filter the tracing of some kernel functions via replacing it by a nop
instruction.

but as we have described before, the instruction "jal ftrace_caller" only left
32bit length for the address of ftrace_caller, it will fail when calling from
the module space. so, herein, we must replace something else.

the basic idea is loading the address of ftrace_caller to v1 via changing these
two instructions:

lui v1,0x0
addiu v1,v1,0

If we want to enable the tracing, we need to replace the above instructions to:

lui v1, HI_16BIT_ftrace_caller
addiu v1, v1, LOW_16BIT_ftrace_caller

If we want to stop the tracing of the indicated kernel functions, we
just need to replace the "jalr v1" to a nop instruction. but we need to
replace two instructions and encode the above two instructions
oursevles.

Is there a simpler solution? Yes! Here it is, in this version, we put _mcount
and ftrace_caller together, which means the address of _mcount and
ftrace_caller is the same:

_mcount:
ftrace_caller:
j ftrace_stub
nop

...(do real tracing here)...

ftrace_stub:
jr ra
move ra, at

By default, the kernel functions call _mcount, and then jump to ftrace_stub and
return. and when we want to do real tracing, we just need to remove that "j
ftrace_stub", and it will run through the two "nop" instructions and then do
the real tracing job.

what about filtering job? we just need to do this:

lui v1, hi_16bit_of_mcount <--> b 1f (0x10000004)
addiu v1, v1, low_16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jalr v1
nop
1f: (rec->ip + 12)

In linux-mips64, there will be some local symbols, whose name are
prefixed by $L, which need to be filtered. thanks goes to Steven for
writing the mips64-specific function_regex.

In a conclusion, with RISC, things becomes easier with such a "stupid"
trick, RISC is something like K.I.S.S, and also, there are lots of
"simple" tricks in the whole ftrace support, thanks goes to Steven and
the other folks for providing such a wonderful tracing framework!

Subject: [PATCH v9 05/10] tracing: add IRQENTRY_EXIT section for MIPS

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

This patch add a new section for MIPS to record the block of the hardirq
handling for function graph tracer(print_graph_irq) via adding the
__irq_entry annotation to the the entrypoints of the hardirqs(the block
with irq_enter()...irq_exit()).

Thanks goes to Steven & Frederic Weisbecker for their feedbacks.

Subject: [PATCH v9 06/10] tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

The implementation of function graph tracer for MIPS is a little
different from X86.

in MIPS, gcc(with -pg) only transfer the caller's return address(at) and
the _mcount's return address(ra) to us.

For the kernel part without -mlong-calls:

move at, ra
jal _mcount

For the module part with -mlong-calls:

lui v1, hi16bit_of_mcount
addiu v1, v1, low16bit_of_mcount
move at, ra
jal _mcount

Without -mlong-calls,

if the function is a leaf, it will not save the return address(ra):

ffffffff80101298 <au1k_wait>:
ffffffff80101298: 67bdfff0 daddiu sp,sp,-16
ffffffff8010129c: ffbe0008 sd s8,8(sp)
ffffffff801012a0: 03a0f02d move s8,sp
ffffffff801012a4: 03e0082d move at,ra
ffffffff801012a8: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff801012ac: 00020021 nop

so, we can hijack it directly in _mcount, but if the function is non-leaf, the
return address is saved in the stack.

ffffffff80133030 <copy_process>:
ffffffff80133030: 67bdff50 daddiu sp,sp,-176
ffffffff80133034: ffbe00a0 sd s8,160(sp)
ffffffff80133038: 03a0f02d move s8,sp
ffffffff8013303c: ffbf00a8 sd ra,168(sp)
ffffffff80133040: ffb70098 sd s7,152(sp)
ffffffff80133044: ffb60090 sd s6,144(sp)
ffffffff80133048: ffb50088 sd s5,136(sp)
ffffffff8013304c: ffb40080 sd s4,128(sp)
ffffffff80133050: ffb30078 sd s3,120(sp)
ffffffff80133054: ffb20070 sd s2,112(sp)
ffffffff80133058: ffb10068 sd s1,104(sp)
ffffffff8013305c: ffb00060 sd s0,96(sp)
ffffffff80133060: 03e0082d move at,ra
ffffffff80133064: 0c042930 jal ffffffff8010a4c0 <_mcount>
ffffffff80133068: 00020021 nop

but we can not get the exact stack address(which saved ra) directly in
_mcount, we need to search the content of at register in the stack space
or search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction in the text. 'Cause we
can not prove there is only a match in the stack space, so, we search
the text instead.

as we can see, if the first instruction above "move at, ra" is not a
store instruction, there should be a leaf function, so we hijack the at
register directly via putting &return_to_handler into it, otherwise, we
search the "s{d,w} ra, offset(sp)" instruction to get the stack offset,
and then the stack address. we use the above copy_process() as an
example, we at last find "ffbf00a8", 0xa8 is the stack offset, we plus
it with s8(fp), that is the stack address, we hijack the content via
writing the &return_to_handler in.

If with -mlong-calls, since there are two more instructions above "move
at, ra", so, we can move the pointer to the position above "lui v1,
hi16bit_of_mcount".

Subject: [PATCH v9 07/10] tracing: add dynamic function graph tracer for MIPS

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

This patch make function graph tracer work with dynamic function tracer.

To share the source code of dynamic function tracer(MCOUNT_SAVE_REGS),
and avoid restoring the whole saved registers, we need to restore the ra

When remove the -fno-omit-frame-pointer, gcc will not save the frame

Subject: [PATCH v9 09/10] tracing: reserve $12(t0) for mcount-ra-address of gcc 4.5

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

A new option -mmcount-ra-address for gcc 4.5 have been sent by David
Daney <[email protected]> in the thread "MIPS: Add option to
pass return address location to _mcount", which help to record the
location of the return address(ra) for the function graph tracer of MIPS
to hijack the return address easier and safer. that option used the
$12(t0) register by default, so, we reserve it for it, and use t1,t2,t3
instead of t0,t1,t2.

Subject: [PATCH v9 10/10] tracing: make function graph tracer work with -mmcount-ra-address

From: Wu Zhangjin <[email protected]>

That thread "MIPS: Add option to pass return address location to
_mcount" from "David Daney <[email protected]>" have added a new
option -mmcount-ra-address to gcc(4.5) for MIPS to transfer the location
of the return address to _mcount.

Benefit from this new feature, function graph tracer on MIPS will be
easier and safer to hijack the return address of the kernel function,
which will save some overhead and make the whole thing more reliable.

In this patch, at first, try to enable the option -mmcount-ra-address in
arch/mips/Makefile with cc-option, if gcc support it, it will be
enabled, otherwise, no side effect.

and then, we need to support this new option of gcc 4.5 and also support
the old gcc versions.

with _mcount in the old gcc versions, it's not easy to get the location
of return address(tracing: add function graph tracer support for MIPS),
so, we do it in a C function: ftrace_get_parent_addr(ftrace.c), but
with -mmcount-ra-address, only several instructions need to get what
we want, so, I put into asm(mcount.S). and also, as the $12(t0) is
used by -mmcount-ra-address for transferring the localtion of return
address to _mcount, we need to save it into the stack and restore it
when enabled dynamic function tracer, 'Cause we have called
"ftrace_call" before "ftrace_graph_caller", which may destroy
$12(t0).

(Thanks to David for providing that -mcount-ra-address and giving the
idea of KBUILD_MCOUNT_RA_ADDRESS, both of them have made the whole
thing more beautiful!)

This one is a bit problematic because you seem to have generated the
patch against linux-next but I'm applying it on the MIPS -queue tree and
some other changes on -next are now resulting in a conflict. And
Steven Rostedt is going to merge a few more changes which he says will
conflict.

So I put this patch on the queue tree but may not propagate it immediately
to linux-next.

Thanks!

Hi, Ralf, Could you please remove the above "NOTE", just test your
-queue repository with the latest sched_clock() in 32bit, it works well.
so, that NOTE is out-of-date.
