 #
 # recordmcount.pl - makes a section called __mcount_loc that holds
 #                   all the offsets to the calls to mcount.
 #
 #
 # What we want to end up with this is that each object file will have a
 # section called __mcount_loc that will hold the list of pointers to mcount
 # callers. After final linking, the vmlinux will have within .init.data the
 # list of all callers to mcount between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc.
 # Later on boot up, the kernel will read this list, save the locations and turn
 # them into nops. When tracing or profiling is later enabled, these locations
 # will then be converted back to pointers to some function.
 #
 # This is no easy feat. This script is called just after the original
 # object is compiled and before it is linked.
 #
 # When parse this object file using 'objdump', the references to the call
 # sites are offsets from the section that the call site is in. Hence, all
 # functions in a section that has a call site to mcount, will have the
 # offset from the beginning of the section and not the beginning of the
 # function.
 #
 # But where this section will reside finally in vmlinx is undetermined at
 # this point. So we can't use this kind of offsets to record the final
 # address of this call site.
 #
 # The trick is to change the call offset referring the start of a section to
 # referring a function symbol in this section. During the link step, 'ld' will
 # compute the final address according to the information we record.
 #
 # e.g.
 #
 #  .section ".sched.text", "ax"
 #        [...]
 #  func1:
 #        [...]
 #        call mcount  (offset: 0x10)
 #        [...]
 #        ret
 #  .globl fun2
 #  func2:             (offset: 0x20)
 #        [...]
 #        [...]
 #        ret
 #  func3:
 #        [...]
 #        call mcount (offset: 0x30)
 #        [...]
 #
 # Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be
 # offset from .sched.text. If we choose global symbol func2 as a reference and
 # make another file called tmp.s with the new offsets:
 #
 #  .section __mcount_loc
 #  .quad  func2 - 0x10
 #  .quad  func2 + 0x10
 #
 # We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it back to the original
 # object.
 #
 # In our algorithm, we will choose the first global function we meet in this
 # section as the reference. But this gets hard if there is no global functions
 # in this section. In such a case we have to select a local one. E.g. func1:
 #
 #  .section ".sched.text", "ax"
 #  func1:
 #        [...]
 #        call mcount  (offset: 0x10)
 #        [...]
 #        ret
 #  func2:
 #        [...]
 #        call mcount (offset: 0x20)
 #        [...]
 #  .section "other.section"
 #
 # If we make the tmp.s the same as above, when we link together with
 # the original object, we will end up with two symbols for func1:
 # one local, one global.  After final compile, we will end up with
 # an undefined reference to func1 or a wrong reference to another global
 # func1 in other files.
 #
 # Since local objects can reference local variables, we need to find
 # a way to make tmp.o reference the local objects of the original object
 # file after it is linked together. To do this, we convert func1
 # into a global symbol before linking tmp.o. Then after we link tmp.o
 # we will only have a single symbol for func1 that is global.
 # We can convert func1 back into a local symbol and we are done.
 #
 # Here are the steps we take:
 #
 # 1) Record all the local and weak symbols by using 'nm'
 # 2) Use objdump to find all the call site offsets and sections for
 #    mcount.
 # 3) Compile the list into its own object.
 # 4) Do we have to deal with local functions? If not, go to step 8.
 # 5) Make an object that converts these local functions to global symbols
 #    with objcopy.
 # 6) Link together this new object with the list object.
 # 7) Convert the local functions back to local symbols and rename
 #    the result as the original object.
 # 8) Link the object with the list object.
 # 9) Move the result back to the original object.

	# recordmcount.pl - makes a section called __mcount_loc that holds
	# all the offsets to the calls to mcount.
	#
	#
	# What we want to end up with this is that each object file will have a
	# section called __mcount_loc that will hold the list of pointers to mcount
	# callers. After final linking, the vmlinux will have within .init.data the
	# list of all callers to mcount between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc.
	# Later on boot up, the kernel will read this list, save the locations and turn
	# them into nops. When tracing or profiling is later enabled, these locations
	# will then be converted back to pointers to some function.
	#
	# This is no easy feat. This script is called just after the original
	# object is compiled and before it is linked.
	#
	# When parse this object file using 'objdump', the references to the call
	# sites are offsets from the section that the call site is in. Hence, all
	# functions in a section that has a call site to mcount, will have the
	# offset from the beginning of the section and not the beginning of the
	# function.
	#
	# But where this section will reside finally in vmlinx is undetermined at
	# this point. So we can't use this kind of offsets to record the final
	# address of this call site.
	#
	# The trick is to change the call offset referring the start of a section to
	# referring a function symbol in this section. During the link step, 'ld' will
	# compute the final address according to the information we record.
	#
	# e.g.
	#
	# .section ".sched.text", "ax"
	# [...]
	# func1:
	# [...]
	# call mcount (offset: 0x10)
	# [...]
	# ret
	# .globl fun2
	# func2: (offset: 0x20)
	# [...]
	# [...]
	# ret
	# func3:
	# [...]
	# call mcount (offset: 0x30)
	# [...]
	#
	# Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be
	# offset from .sched.text. If we choose global symbol func2 as a reference and
	# make another file called tmp.s with the new offsets:
	#
	# .section __mcount_loc
	# .quad func2 - 0x10
	# .quad func2 + 0x10
	#
	# We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it back to the original
	# object.
	#
	# In our algorithm, we will choose the first global function we meet in this
	# section as the reference. But this gets hard if there is no global functions
	# in this section. In such a case we have to select a local one. E.g. func1:
	#
	# .section ".sched.text", "ax"
	# func1:
	# [...]
	# call mcount (offset: 0x10)
	# [...]
	# ret
	# func2:
	# [...]
	# call mcount (offset: 0x20)
	# [...]
	# .section "other.section"
	#
	# If we make the tmp.s the same as above, when we link together with
	# the original object, we will end up with two symbols for func1:
	# one local, one global. After final compile, we will end up with
	# an undefined reference to func1 or a wrong reference to another global
	# func1 in other files.
	#
	# Since local objects can reference local variables, we need to find
	# a way to make tmp.o reference the local objects of the original object
	# file after it is linked together. To do this, we convert func1
	# into a global symbol before linking tmp.o. Then after we link tmp.o
	# we will only have a single symbol for func1 that is global.
	# We can convert func1 back into a local symbol and we are done.
	#
	# Here are the steps we take:
	#
	# 1) Record all the local and weak symbols by using 'nm'
	# 2) Use objdump to find all the call site offsets and sections for
	# mcount.
	# 3) Compile the list into its own object.
	# 4) Do we have to deal with local functions? If not, go to step 8.
	# 5) Make an object that converts these local functions to global symbols
	# with objcopy.
	# 6) Link together this new object with the list object.
	# 7) Convert the local functions back to local symbols and rename
	# the result as the original object.
	# 8) Link the object with the list object.
	# 9) Move the result back to the original object.
