Fix this by checking if the kernel source tree is the root of the git or
hg repository. No fix for svn: If the kernel source is not tracked in
the svn repository, it works as expected, otherwise determining the
'repository root' is not really a defined task.

Searching: pressing '/' triggers interactive search mode.
nconfig performs a case insensitive search for the string
in the menu prompts (no regex support).
Pressing the up/down keys highlights the previous/next

search mode. All other keys behave normally.

If a minimal config did not specify the value
of all choice values, the resulting configuration
could have wrong values.
Consider following example:
config M
def_bool y
option modules
choice
prompt "choice list"
config A
tristate "a"
config B
tristate "b"
endchoice
With a defconfig like this:
CONFIG_M=y
CONFIG_A=y
The resulting configuration would have
CONFIG_A=m
which was unexpected.
The problem was not not all choice values were set and thus
kconfig calculated a wrong value.
The fix is to set all choice values when we
read a defconfig files.
conf_set_all_new_symbols() is refactored such that
random choice values are now handled by a dedicated function.
And new choice values are set by set_all_choice_values().
This was not the minimal fix, but the fix that resulted
in the most readable code.

It is now possible to assign options to AS and CC
on the command line - which is only used for built-in code.
{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL was used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
additional options to AS, CC without overriding
the original value.
Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL
that is used by arch specific files and free up

Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
from this.

savedefconfig will save a minimal config to a file
named "defconfig".
The config symbols are saved in the same order as
they appear in the menu structure so it should
be possible to map them to the relevant menus
if desired.
The implementation was tested against several minimal
configs for arm which was created using brute-force.
There was one regression related to default numbers
which had their valid range further limited by another symbol.
Sample:
config FOO
int "foo"
default 4
config BAR
int "bar"
range 0 FOO
If FOO is set to 3 then BAR cannot take a value higher than 3.
But the current implementation will set BAR equal to 4.
This is seldomly used and the final configuration is OK,
and the fix was non-trivial.
So it was documented in the code and left as is.

Consider following kconfig file:

config TEST2

Previously kconfig would report:

With the following patch kconfig reports:
foo:5:error: recursive dependency detected!
foo:5: symbol TEST2 depends on TEST1

Note that we now report where the offending symbols are defined.

So drop the single letter options in favour of long options.

There seems to be a kconfig bug due to MODULES not always being
evaluated if no .config is found. Take the following Kconfig as an
example:
config MODULES
def_bool y
config FOO
def_tristate m
With no .config, the following configuration is generated:
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_FOO=y
With an empty .config, the following:
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_FOO=m
Tristate choice statements can also exhibit the problem, due to having an
implicit rev_dep (select) containing "m".
The problem is that MODULES is never evaluted in conf_read_simple() unless
there's a .config. The following patch fixes this.

I found this issue in a locally patched 2.6.32.x, current kernels have
moved the offending code to an __init function which is skipped by
recordmcount.pl, so the bug is not currently being exercised.
However, I think the patch is still a good idea, to avoid future
problems if _mcount were to ever have its address taken in normal
code.
This is what I originally saw:
Although arch/mips/kernel/ftrace.c is built without -pg, and thus
contains no calls to _mcount, it does use the address of _mcount
in ftrace_make_nop(). This was causing relocations to be emitted
for _mcount which recordmcount.pl erronously took to be _mcount
call sites. The result was that the text of ftrace_make_nop()
would be patched with garbage leading to a system crash.
In non-module code, all _mcount call sites will have R_MIPS_26
relocations, so we restrict $mcount_regex to only match on these.

The 'source' builtin is a bash alias to the '.' (dot) builtin. While the
former is supported only by bash, the latter is specified in POSIX and
works fine with all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of.
The '$_' special parameter is specific to bash. It is partially
supported in dash too but it always evaluates to the current script path
(which causes the script to enter a loop recursively re-executing
itself). This is why I have replaced the two occurences of '$_' with the
explicit parameter.
The 'local' builtin is another example of bash-specific code. Although
it is supported by all POSIX-compliant shells I am aware of, it is not
part of POSIX specification and thus the code should not rely on it
assigning a specific value to the local variable. Moreover, the 'posh'
shell has a limited version of 'local' builtin not supporting direct
variable assignments. Thus, I have broken one of the 'local'
declarations down into a (non-POSIX) 'local' declaration and a plain
(POSIX-compliant) variable assignment.

The "select" statement in Kconfig files allows the enabling of options
even if they have unmet direct dependencies (i.e. "depends on" expands
to "no"). Currently, the "depends on" clauses are used in calculating
the visibility but they do not affect the reverse dependencies in any
way.
The patch introduces additional tracking of the "depends on" statements
and prints a warning on selecting an option if its direct dependencies
are not met.

The initial pass at the generic ABI assumed that wait4() could be
easily expressed using waitid(). Although it's true that wait4()
can be built on waitid(), it's awkward enough that it makes more
sense to continue to include wait4 in the generic syscall ABI.
Since there is already a deprecated wait4 in the ABI, this change
converts that wait4 into old_wait, and puts wait4 in the next
available slot for new supported syscalls, after the platform-specific
syscalls at number 260.

Now that we run scripts/setlocalversion during every build, it makes
sense to move all the localversion logic there. This cleans up the
toplevel Makefile and also makes sure that the script is called only
once in 'make prepare' (previously, it would be called every time due to
a variable expansion in an ifneq statement). No user-visible change is
intended, unless one runs the setlocalversion script directly.

It just hit me.
It's the offset calculation in reloc_location() which overflows:
return (void *)elf->hdr + sechdrs[section].sh_offset +
(r->r_offset - sechdrs[section].sh_addr);
E.g. for the first rodata r entry:
r->r_offset < sechdrs[section].sh_addr
and the expression in the parenthesis produces 0xFFFFFFE0 or something
equally wise.

A 'coccicheck' target is added. It can be called with four different
modes. Each one generates a different kind of output, i.e. context,
patch, org, report, according to the corresponding mode to be
activated.
The new target calls the 'coccicheck' front-end in the 'scripts'
directory with the MODE argument. Every SmPL file in the
subdirectories of 'scripts/coccinelle' is then given to the front-end
and applied to the entire source tree.
The four modes behave as follows:
'report' generates a list in the following format:
file:line:column-column: message
'patch' proposes a fix, when possible.
'context' highlights lines of interest and their context in a
diff-like style. Lines of interest are indicated with '-'.
'org' generates a report in the Org mode format of Emacs.

commit 37a8d9f67f tried to combine some
duplicate code and accidentally broke how KBUILD_SYMTYPES worked
This fixes the code to match the original intention by the author who
originally added the code I believe.
The fixes include:
- removing extra whitespaces in the if-statements
- moving the if-statement from around the -r to the -T
- adding a second arg to cmd_gensymtypes to simplify the options passed
to genksyms.
Tested by instrumenting genksyms and seeing what options were passed in
during a make, KBUILD_SYMTYPES make, and when a foo.symref was created.

Run:
make ARCH=arm menuconfig
And then select "System Type" -> "ARM system type". The kconfig
"choice" menu at this point looks empty.
It's because config ARCH_S3C2410 has a long prompt:
config ARCH_S3C2410
bool "Samsung S3C2410, S3C2412, S3C2413, S3C2416, S3C2440, S3C2442, S3C2443, S3C2450"
...
menuconfig centers the checklist according to this prompt without
considering the width of the list, and then things get wrong.

Quite a few Kconfig symbols contain lowercase letters. The current
checkkconfigsymbols.sh code only contains A-Z in the regexp it uses to
find config symbols in source code, so it comes up with the wrong symbol
to look for in Kconfig files and then generates false positives when it
doesn't find that wrong symbol. For example checking drivers/net
generates a false positive for MAC89 because the the actual config
option is MAC89x0.
Fix this by also adding a-z to the regexp.

You can also notice this bug when using gconfig/xconfig.
It's because the SYMBOL_DEF_USER bit of an invisible symbol is cleared
when the config file is read:
int conf_read(const char *name)
{
...
for_all_symbols(i, sym) {
if (sym_has_value(sym) && !sym_is_choice_value(sym)) {
/* Reset values of generates values, so they'll appear
* as new, if they should become visible, but that
* doesn't quite work if the Kconfig and the saved
* configuration disagree.
*/
if (sym->visible == no && !conf_unsaved)
sym->flags &= ~SYMBOL_DEF_USER;
...
}
But a menu item which represents an invisible symbol is still
visible, if it's sub-menu is visible, so its SYMBOL_DEF_USER
bit should be set to indicate it's not NEW.

This changes the default of the option --git-all-signature-types to be
disabled by default.
The effect being, that only certain (currently Signed-Off-By:, Acked-by:
and Reviewed-By:) tags are used to get adresses of potential maintainers.
Motivated is this change by the desire to not 'spam' people unnecessary: A
Tested-By or a Reported-By is not ment as a hint that those people want
to/are able to review patches to the code in question.
In a quest to find resilient statistics for this i came up with this:
I produced a list of all the tag-signers not already covered with a
signed-off/acked/reviewed tag somewhere in the last year of git history.
Those were 650 addresses of "assumed non-developers".
And to check if those "assumed non-developers" are professional
testers/reporters worth cc'ing, i then counted their total appearences
in the git log:
469 were mentioned only once.
123 were mentioned twice.
38 three times
8 four times
5 six times
5 five times
1 eight times
1 fourteen times
I believe this supports my thesis, that the ''non-maintainer-tags'' are
not actively useful for patch-review. (except probably the guy mentioned
fourteen times...)
But of course one could also find arguments to poke holes in this
statistics, for example does this statistic not include code-locality: A
tested-by on a patch that touches some specific piece of code can be more
worth than a signed-off in another part of the tree.
But... let's play it safe and let's err on the "safe" side meaning to not
spam those people when in doubt. We already have the signed-off's and
Maintainers file. So this should be ok. And if need be, the maintainers
can always forward the patch.

When using --git to determine who to send a patch to, get_maintainers will
currently include all signatures. This can include signers that simply
report an issue or test a patch. Signers that use this tag are not
necessarily good candidates to review new patches.
This patch allows get_maintainers to optionally restrict output to only
signatures that use Signed-off-by:, Acked-by:, or Reviewed-by:.
Signed-off-by: is included because those are people who are responsible
for the code.
Acked-by: is questionable, but as signers that use this tag tend to be
active linux gatekeepers, false positives are tolerable.
Reviewed-by: is included because signers responsible for the code thought
that the review feedback for a changeset by that signer was valuable.
This patch has been modified from Florian's original submission to change
the supported signature types to the canonical forms and use slightly
different spacing. A couple of spacing issues were also corrected in the
original source. The command line argument was also renamed.

The patch below works fine (at least with Debian). It needs your first
patch that moves the definitions to mod_devicetable.h. Verified that
aliases for these modules are generated correctly:
drivers/media/radio/radio-sf16fmi.c
drivers/net/ne.c
drivers/net/3c515.c
drivers/net/smc-ultra.c
drivers/pcmcia/i82365.c
drivers/scsi/aha1542.c
drivers/scsi/aha152x.c
drivers/scsi/sym53c416.c
drivers/scsi/g_NCR5380.c
Tested with RTL8019AS (ne), AVA-1505AE (aha152x) and dtc436e (g_NCR5380)
cards - they now work automatically.
Generate pnp:d aliases for isapnp_device_tables. This allows udev to load

Minor perlcritic warning:
headerdep.pl: "return" statement with explicit "undef" at line 84, column 2. See page 199 of PBP. (Severity: 5)
The rationale according to PBP is that an explicit return of undef
(contrary to most people's expectations) doesn't
always evaluate as false. It has to with the fact that perl return value
depends on context the function is called. If function is used in
list context, the appropriate return value for false is an empty list;
whereas in scalar context the return value for false is undefined.
By just using a "return" both cases are handled.
In the context of a trivial script this doesn't matter. But one script
may be cut-paste into later code (most people like me only know 50%
of perl), that is why perlcritic always complains

scripts/kernel-doc mishandles a function that has a multi-line function
short description and no function parameters. The observed problem was
from drivers/scsi/scsi_netlink.c:
/**
* scsi_netlink_init - Called by SCSI subsystem to intialize
* the SCSI transport netlink interface
*
**/
kernel-doc treated the " * " line as a Description: section with only a
newline character in the Description contents. This caused
output_highlight() to complain: "output_highlight got called with no
args?", plus produce a perl call stack backtrace.
The fix is just to ignore Description sections if they only contain "\n".

Given that absolute paths can be forced by make O=. cscope, change the

Here is a small code snippet, which will be complained about by

union { \
struct { \
unsigned int in; \
unsigned int out; \

char rectype[recsize]; \
ptrtype *ptr; \

This construct is legal and safe, so checkpatch.pl should accept this. It
should be also true for struct defined in a macro.
Add the `struct' and `union' keywords to the exceptions list of the
checkpatch.pl script, to prevent error message "Macros with multiple

Add an imperfect option to search a source file for email addresses.
New option: --file-emails or --fe
email addresses in files are freeform text and are nearly impossible to
parse. Still, might as well try to do a somewhat acceptable job of
finding them. This code should find all addresses that are in the form
addr@domain.tld
The code assumes that up to 3 alphabetic words along with dashes, commas,
and periods that preceed the email address are a name.
If 3 words are found for the name, and one of the first two words are a
single letter and period, or just a single letter then the 3 words are use
as name otherwise the last 2 words are used.
Some variants that are shown correctly:
John Smith <jksmith@domain.org>
Random J. Developer <rjd@tld.com>
Random J. Developer (rjd@tld.com)
J. Random Developer rjd@tld.com
Variants that are shown nominally correctly:
Written by First Last (funny-addr@somecompany.com)
is shown as:
First Last <funny-addr@somecompany.com>
Variants that are shown incorrectly:
Some Really Long Name <srln@foo.bar>
MontaVista Software, Inc. <source@mvista.com>
are returned as:
Long Name <srln@foo.bar>
"Software, Inc" <source@mvista.com>
--roles and --rolestats show "(in file)" for matches.
For instance:
Without -file-emails:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f -nogit -roles net/core/netpoll.c
David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> (maintainer:NETWORKING [GENERAL])
linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org (open list)
With -fe:
$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f -fe -nogit -roles net/core/netpoll.c
David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> (maintainer:NETWORKING [GENERAL])
Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> (in file)

The problem is that $. keeps track of the current record number (which
is line number by default). But if you pass it multiple files, it does
not wrap at the end of file, and therefore contains the *total* number

$. = 1

Currently looking up a structure definition in TAGS / tags takes one to
one of multiple "static struct X" definitions in arch sources, which makes
it for many structs practically impossible to get to the required header.
This patch changes the order of sources being tagged to first scan
architecture includes, then the top-level include/ directory, and only
then the rest. It also takes into account, that many architectures have
more than one include directory, i.e., not only arch/$ARCH/include, but
also arch/$ARCH/mach-X/include etc.

Doing the following:
make LSMOD=file localmodconfig
Will make the streamline-config code use the given file instead of
lsmod. If the file is an executable, it will execute it, otherwise
it will read it as text.
make LSMOD=/my/local/path/lsmod localmodconfig
The above will execute the lsmod in /my/local/path instead of the
lsmods that may be located elsewhere.
make LSMOD=embedded_board_lsmod localmodconfig
The above will read the "embedded_board_lsmod" as a text file. This
is useful if you are doing a cross compile and need to run the
config against modules that exist on an embedded device.
Note, if the LSMOD= file does is not a path, it will add the
path to the object directory. That is, the above example will look
for "embedded_board_lsmod" in the directory that the binary will
be built in (the O=dir directory).

There is already a "0x" in $func_offset, another 0x makes it a NaN.
The $func_offset is from line:

Just a small change to a couple of scripts to go from
#!/usr/bin/env python
to
#!/usr/bin/python
This shouldn't effect anyone, unless they don't install python there.
In preparation for python3, Fedora is doing a big push to change the scripts
to use the system python. This allows developers to put the python3 in
their path without fear of breaking existing scripts.
Now I am pretty sure anyone using python3 for testing purposes will probably
not run any of the scripts I changed, but Fedora has this automated tool
that checks for this stuff so I thought I would try to push it upstream.

fgets is called as a part of error handling. It is called just to drop a

read_symbol reads line by line. So I think there is no point in using

While looking for something else I noticed that the symbol
hash function used by kconfig is quite poor. It doesn't
use any of the standard hash techniques but simply
adds up the string and then uses power of two masking,
which is both known to perform poorly.
The current x86 kconfig has over 7000 symbols.
When I instrumented it showed that the minimum hash chain
length was 16 and a significant number of them was over
30.
It didn't help that the hash table size was only 256 buckets.
This patch increases the hash table size to a larger prime
and switches to a FNV32 hash. I played around with a couple of hash
functions, but that one seemed to perform best with reasonable
hash table sizes.
Increasing the hash table size even further didn't
seem like a good idea, because there are a couple of global
walks which walk the complete hash table.
I also moved the unnamed bucket to 0. It's still the longest
of all the buckets (44 entries), but hopefully it's not
often hit except for the global walk which doesn't care.
The result is a much nicer distribution:
(first column bucket length, second number of buckets with that length)
1: 3505
2: 1236
3: 294
4: 52
5: 3
47: 1 <--- this is the unnamed symbols bucket
There are still some 5+ buckets, but increasing the hash table
even more would be likely not worth it.
This also cleans up the code slightly by removing hard coded
magic numbers.
I didn't notice a big performance difference either way
on my Nehalem system, but I presume it'll help somewhat
on slower systems.

This patch was inspired by the kernel projects page, where an ncurses
replacement for menuconfig was mentioned (by Sam Ravnborg).
Building on menuconfig, this patch implements a more modern look
interface using ncurses and ncurses' satellite libraries (menu, panel,
form). The implementation does not depend on lxdialog, which is
currently distributed with the kernel.

This patch adds some logic which wraps help screen lines at word

The following things are handled:
- ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE environment variables are respected.
- The Code: in x86 oopses is in bytes, while it is in either words (4
bytes) or halfwords for ARM.
- Some versions of ARM objdump refuse to disassemble instructions
generated by literal constants (".word 0x..."). The workaround is to
strip the object file first.
- The faulting instruction is marked (liked so) in ARM, but <like so>

The sym_is() compares a symbol in an attempt to automatically skip symbol
prefixes. It does this first by searching the real symbol with the normal
unprefixed symbol. But then it uses the length of the original symbol to
check the end of the substring instead of the length of the symbol it is
looking for. On non-prefixed arches, this is effectively the same thing,
so there is no problem. On prefixed-arches, since this is exceeds by just
one byte, a crash is rare and it is usually a NUL byte anyways. But every
once in a blue moon, you get the right page alignment and it segfaults.
For example, on the Blackfin arch, sym_is() will be called with the real
symbol "___mod_usb_device_table" as "symbol" when looking for the normal
symbol "__mod_usb_device_table" as "name". The substring will thus return
one byte into "symbol" and store it into "match". But then "match" will
be indexed with the length of "symbol" instead of "name" and so we will
exceed the storage. i.e. the code ends up doing:
char foo[] = "abc"; return foo[strlen(foo)+1] == '\0';

In an x86 build with CONFIG_KERNEL_LZMA enabled and dash as sh,
arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma ends with
'\xf0\x7d\x39\x00' (16 bytes) instead of the 4 bytes intended and
the resulting vmlinuz fails to boot. This improves on the
previous behavior, in which the file contained the characters
'-ne ' as well, but not by much.
Previous commits replaced "echo -ne" first with "/bin/echo -ne",
then "printf" in the hope of improving portability, but none of
these commands is guaranteed to support hexadecimal escapes on
POSIX systems. So use the shell to convert from hexadecimal to
octal.
With this change, an LZMA-compressed kernel built with dash as sh
boots correctly again.

This patch series adds generic support for creating and extracting
LZO-compressed kernel images, as well as support for using such images on
the x86 and ARM architectures, and support for creating and using
LZO-compressed initrd and initramfs images.
Russell King said:
: Testing on a Cortex A9 model:
: - lzo decompressor is 65% of the time gzip takes to decompress a kernel
: - lzo kernel is 9% larger than a gzip kernel
:
: which I'm happy to say confirms your figures when comparing the two.
:
: However, when comparing your new gzip code to the old gzip code:
: - new is 99% of the size of the old code
: - new takes 42% of the time to decompress than the old code
:
: What this means is that for a proper comparison, the results get even better:
: - lzo is 7.5% larger than the old gzip'd kernel image
: - lzo takes 28% of the time that the old gzip code took
:
: So the expense seems definitely worth the effort. The only reason I
: can think of ever using gzip would be if you needed the additional
: compression (eg, because you have limited flash to store the image.)
:
: I would argue that the default for ARM should therefore be LZO.
This patch:
The lzo compressor is worse than gzip at compression, but faster at
extraction. Here are some figures for an ARM board I'm working on:
Uncompressed size: 3.24Mo
gzip 1.61Mo 0.72s
lzo 1.75Mo 0.48s
So for a compression ratio that is still relatively close to gzip, it's
much faster to extract, at least in that case.
This part contains:
- Makefile routine to support lzo compression
- Fixes to the existing lzo compressor so that it can be used in
compressed kernels
- wrapper around the existing lzo1x_decompress, as it only extracts one
block at a time, while we need to extract a whole file here
- config dialog for kernel compression

Fixed non-conflicting clean merge of modpost.c as per comments from

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!
