Li Hong db24c7dcf4 tracing: Move mcount section search to front of loop in recordmcount.pl
Move the mcount section check to the beginning of the objdump read loop.
This makes the code easier to follow since the search for the mcount
section is performed first before the mcount callers are processed.

# 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 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.
