93ca696376 scripts/recordmcount.pl: support big endian for ARCH sh
The kernel test robot reported the following issue:

    CC [M]  drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o
  sh4-linux-objcopy: Unable to change endianness of input file(s)
  sh4-linux-ld: cannot find drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_gl_litex_soc_ctrl.o: No such file or directory
  sh4-linux-objcopy: 'drivers/soc/litex/.tmp_mx_litex_soc_ctrl.o': No such file

The problem is that the format of input file is elf32-shbig-linux, but
sh4-linux-objcopy wants to output a file which format is elf32-sh-linux:

  $ sh4-linux-objdump -d drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o | grep format
  drivers/soc/litex/litex_soc_ctrl.o:     file format elf32-shbig-linux

c9343637d6 s390/ftrace: assume -mhotpatch or -mrecord-mcount always available
Currently the kernel minimal compiler requirement is gcc 4.9 or
clang 10.0.1.
* gcc -mhotpatch option is supported since 4.8.
* A combination of -pg -mrecord-mcount -mnop-mcount -mfentry flags is
supported since gcc 9 and since clang 10.

Drop support for old -pg function prologues. Which leaves binary
compatible -mhotpatch / -mnop-mcount -mfentry prologues in a form:
	brcl	0,0
Which are also do not require initial nop optimization / conversion and
presence of _mcount symbol.

e46b94d228 scripts: override locale from environment when running recordmcount.pl
recordmcount.pl uses a set of regular expressions to parse the output of
objdump(1). However, if objdump(1) output is localized, it may not match
the regular expressions, thereby preventing recordmcount.pl from parsing
object files correctly.

In order to allow recordmcount.pl to function correctly regardless of the
current locale settings, set LANG=C when running objdump(1). LC_ALL is
already unset in the top-level Makefile, so it is not necessary to also
override that environment variable.

28bb030f93 csky/ftrace: Add dynamic function tracer (include graph tracer)
Support dynamic ftrace including dynamic graph tracer. Gcc-csky with -pg

If the (callee - caller)'s offset is in range of bsr instruction, we'll

	nop32
Else if the (callee - caller)'s offset is out of bsr instrunction, we'll

9c8e2f6d3d scripts/recordmcount.{c,pl}: support -ffunction-sections .text.* section names
When building with -ffunction-sections, the compiler will place each
function into its own ELF section, prefixed with ".text".  For example,
a simple test module with functions test_module_do_work() and
test_module_wq_func():

  % objdump --section-headers test_module.o | awk '/\.text/{print $2}'
  .text
  .text.test_module_do_work
  .text.test_module_wq_func
  .init.text
  .exit.text

Adjust the recordmcount scripts to look for ".text" as a section name
prefix.  This will ensure that those functions will be included in the
__mcount_loc relocations:

  % objdump --reloc --section __mcount_loc test_module.o
  OFFSET           TYPE              VALUE
  0000000000000000 R_X86_64_64       .text.test_module_do_work

1421dc6d48 powerpc/kbuild: Use flags variables rather than overriding LD/CC/AS
The powerpc toolchain can compile combinations of 32/64 bit and
big/little endian, so it's convenient to consider, e.g.,

  `CC -m64 -mbig-endian`

To be the C compiler for the purpose of invoking it to build target
artifacts. So overriding the CC variable to include these flags works
for this purpose.

Unfortunately that is not compatible with the way the proposed new
Kconfig macro language will work.

After previous patches in this series, these flags can be carefully
passed in using flags instead.

cb77f0d623 scripts: Switch to more portable Perl shebang
The default NetBSD package manager is pkgsrc and it installs Perl
along other third party programs under custom and configurable prefix.
The default prefix for binary prebuilt packages is /usr/pkg, and the
Perl executable lands in /usr/pkg/bin/perl.

This change switches "/usr/bin/perl" to "/usr/bin/env perl" as it's
the most portable solution that should work for almost everybody.
Perl's executable is detected automatically.

This change switches -w option passed to the executable with more
modern "use warnings;" approach. There is no functional change to the
default behavior.

While there, drop "require 5" from scripts/namespace.pl (Perl from 1994?).

42c269c88d ftrace: Allow for function tracing to record init functions on boot up
Adding a hook into free_reserve_area() that informs ftrace that boot up init
text is being free, lets ftrace safely remove those init functions from its
records, which keeps ftrace from trying to modify text that no longer
exists.

Note, this still does not allow for tracing .init text of modules, as
modules require different work for freeing its init code.

6727ad9e20 nmi_backtrace: generate one-line reports for idle cpus
When doing an nmi backtrace of many cores, most of which are idle, the
output is a little overwhelming and very uninformative.  Suppress
messages for cpus that are idling when they are interrupted and just
emit one line, "NMI backtrace for N skipped: idling at pc 0xNNN".

We do this by grouping all the cpuidle code together into a new
.cpuidle.text section, and then checking the address of the interrupted
PC to see if it lies within that section.

This commit suitably tags x86 and tile idle routines, and only adds in
the minimal framework for other architectures.

2e50c4bef7 scripts/recordmcount.pl: support data in text section on powerpc
If a text section starts out with a data blob before the first
function start label, disassembly parsing doing in recordmcount.pl
gets confused on powerpc, leading to creation of corrupted module
objects.

This was not a problem so far since the compiler would never create
such text sections.  However, this has changed with a recent change
in GCC 6 to support distances of > 2GB between a function and its
assoicated TOC in the ELFv2 ABI, exposing this problem.

There is already code in recordmcount.pl to handle such data blobs
on the sparc64 platform.  This patch uses the same method to handle
those on powerpc as well.

The generated code now contains only a six byte nop in each function

With the new code generation the runtime overhead for supporting function
tracing is close to zero, while the original code did show a significant
performance impact.

c933146a5e s390/ftrace,kprobes: allow to patch first instruction
If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first
instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller):

If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing
of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop
(right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block),
or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function.

If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction
we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes
after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode).
This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop
and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only
two bytes.
Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last
four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes
code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction.

Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done
with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an
instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu.
Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function
trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any
stop_machine() execution.

This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates
correct pt_regs contents automatically.

af64d2aa87 ftrace: Add arm64 support to recordmcount
Recordmcount utility under scripts is run, after compiling each object,
to find out all the locations of calling _mcount() and put them into
specific seciton named __mcount_loc.
Then linker collects all such information into a table in the kernel image
(between __start_mcount_loc and __stop_mcount_loc) for later use by ftrace.

This patch adds arm64 specific definitions to identify such locations.
There are two types of implementation, C and Perl. On arm64, only C version
is used to build the kernel now that CONFIG_HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT is on.
But Perl version is also maintained.

This patch also contains a workaround just in case where a header file,
elf.h, on host machine doesn't have definitions of EM_AARCH64 nor
R_AARCH64_ABS64. Without them, compiling C version of recordmcount will
fail.

2d8eedad92 ftrace: default to tilegx if ARCH=tile is specified
This matches the existing behavior in arch/tile/Makefile for defconfig.
