Subject: [RFC][PATCH 00/36] objtool: Make recordmcount a subcommand
recordmcount has its own ELF wrapper code and could utilize
objtool's ELF code to more-portably handle architecture variations.
This series makes recordmcount a subcommand of objtool.
The initial 5 patches make objtool compilable for more than x86.
Unlike recordmcount the check command and orc tools are not currently
checking other architectures so we need a way to cleanly build
objtool for those architectures that don't support check / orc. I
went with using weak symbols and added a "missing" architecture
which can be used to indicate the tool is not implemented while
avoiding the need for every architecture to explicitly specify
which subcommands / features are not implemented. I'm curious if
there are better approaches folks recommend though -- this is the
one I landed on. The patches do not add HAVE_OBJTOOL to all
architectures.
Note:
I've been following some of the discussion around making check work
for arm64. So I'd say this series moves check into arch/x86 to
reflect its current status and demonstrates how a command relevant
to a single arch could be handled -- not necessarily what
will/should happen to check.
Subsequent patches, the bulk of the set, very gradually convert
recordmcount to become a subcommand of objtool and then reuse
parts of objtool's ELF code. recordmcount maps the file in and
collects simple information it needs to append a section to the
object file. The only part of the original file it modifies is the
address of new section tables -- interestingly enough this
resembles RCU in that we don't really trim the old tables so
much as unlink them via one critical offset and then rely on
future (tooling in this case) to drop the unused bits. So much of
the recordmcount ELF code is only reading and walking the data
structures to collect the mcount locations it records in a separate
area of memory. This means it's safe to mix access to the mapped
file with access to the objtool-style linked data
structures as we gradually convert it to using only the linked data
structures. Once the old ELF code is no longer in use we can drop it
and use objtool to take over the task of writing the results without
using the RCU-like trick any more.
Testing so far:
I've been using scripts to test compilation, execution of objtool,
and mcount output for x86, ppc64le, arm64, s390, and sparc.
