2021-06-22Kconfig: Introduce ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR and CC_HAS_NO_PROFILE_FN_ATTRNick Desaulniers
We don't want compiler instrumentation to touch noinstr functions, which are annotated with the no_profile_instrument_function function attribute. Add a Kconfig test for this and make GCOV depend on it, and in the future, PGO. If an architecture is using noinstr, it should denote that via this Kconfig value. That makes Kconfigs that depend on noinstr able to express dependencies in an architecturally agnostic way.

2021-02-05init/gcov: allow CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS on UML to fix module gcovJohannes Berg
On ARCH=um, loading a module doesn't result in its constructors getting called, which breaks module gcov since the debugfs files are never registered. On the other hand, in-kernel constructors have already been called by the dynamic linker, so we can't call them again. Get out of this conundrum by allowing CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS to be selected, but avoiding the in-kernel constructor calls. Also remove the "if !UML" from GCOV selecting CONSTRUCTORS now, since we really do want CONSTRUCTORS, just not kernel binary ones.

2020-09-11gcov: add support for GCC 10.1Peter Oberparleiter
Using gcov to collect coverage data for kernels compiled with GCC 10.1 causes random malfunctions and kernel crashes. This is the result of a changed GCOV_COUNTERS value in GCC 10.1 that causes a mismatch between the layout of the gcov_info structure created by GCC profiling code and the related structure used by the kernel. Fix this by updating the in-kernel GCOV_COUNTERS value. Also re-enable config GCOV_KERNEL for use with GCC 10.

2020-01-19Revert "um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS"Johannes Berg
This reverts commit 786b2384bf1c ("um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS"). There are two issues with this commit, uncovered by Anton in tests on some (Debian) systems: 1) I completely forgot to call any constructors if CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS isn't set. Don't recall now if it just wasn't needed on my system, or if I never tested this case. 2) With that fixed, it works - with CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS *unset*. If I set CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS, it fails again, which isn't totally unexpected since whatever wanted to run is likely to have to run before the kernel init etc. that calls the constructors in this case. Basically, some constructors that gcc emits (libc has?) need to run very early during init; the failure mode otherwise was that the ptrace fork test already failed: ---------------------- $ ./linux mem=512M Core dump limits : soft - 0 hard - NONE Checking that ptrace can change system call numbers...check_ptrace : child exited with exitcode 6, while expecting 0; status 0x67f Aborted ---------------------- Thinking more about this, it's clear that we simply cannot support CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS in UML. All the cases we need now (gcov, kasan) involve not use of the __attribute__((constructor)), but instead some constructor code/entry generated by gcc. Therefore, we cannot distinguish between kernel constructors and system constructors. Thus, revert this commit.

2019-09-15um: Enable CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORSJohannes Berg
We do need to call the constructors for *modules*, and at least for KASAN in the future, we must call even the kernel constructors only later when the kernel has been initialized. Instead of relying on libc to call them, emit an empty section for libc and let the kernel's CONSTRUCTORS code do the rest of the job. Tested that it indeed doesn't work in modules, and does work after the fixes in both, with a few functions with __attribute__((constructor)) in both dynamic and static builds.

2019-05-14gcov: clang supportGreg Hackmann
LLVM uses profiling data that's deliberately similar to GCC, but has a very different way of exporting that data. LLVM calls llvm_gcov_init() once per module, and provides a couple of callbacks that we can use to ask for more data. We care about the "writeout" callback, which in turn calls back into compiler-rt/this module to dump all the gathered coverage data to disk: llvm_gcda_start_file() llvm_gcda_emit_function() llvm_gcda_emit_arcs() llvm_gcda_emit_function() llvm_gcda_emit_arcs() [... repeats for each function ...] llvm_gcda_summary_info() llvm_gcda_end_file() This design is much more stateless and unstructured than gcc's, and is intended to run at process exit. This forces us to keep some local state about which module we're dealing with at the moment. On the other hand, it also means we don't depend as much on how LLVM represents profiling data internally. See LLVM's lib/Transforms/Instrumentation/GCOVProfiling.cpp for more details on how this works, particularly GCOVProfiler::emitProfileArcs(), GCOVProfiler::insertCounterWriteout(), and GCOVProfiler::insertFlush().

2018-06-08gcov: remove CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECTMasahiro Yamada
CONFIG_GCOV_FORMAT_AUTODETECT compiles either gcc_3_4.c or gcc_4_7.c according to your GCC version. We can achieve the equivalent behavior by setting reasonable dependency with the knowledge of the compiler version. If GCC older than 4.7 is used, GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 is the default, but users are still allowed to select GCOV_FORMAT_4_7 in case the newer format is back-ported. On the other hand, If GCC 4.7 or newer is used, there is no reason to use GCOV_FORMAT_3_4, so it should be hidden. If you downgrade the compiler to GCC 4.7 or older, oldconfig/syncconfig will display a prompt for the choice because GCOV_FORMAT_3_4 becomes visible as a new symbol.

2016-05-10gcov: disable for COMPILE_TESTArnd Bergmann
Enabling gcov is counterproductive to compile testing: it significantly increases the kernel image size, compile time, and it produces lots of false positive "may be used uninitialized" warnings as the result of missed optimizations. This is in line with how UBSAN_SANITIZE_ALL and PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES work, both of which have similar problems. With an ARM allmodconfig kernel, I see the build time drop from 283 minutes CPU time to 225 minutes, and the vmlinux size drops from 43MB to 26MB.

CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS controls support for running constructor functions at kernel init time. According to commit b99b87f70c7785ab ("kernel: constructor support"), gcov (CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL) needs this.

Instead, default it to n and have CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL select it, so that the normal case of CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=n will result in CONFIG_CONSTRUCTORS=n.

2009-06-18gcov: add gcov profiling infrastructurePeter Oberparleiter
Enable the use of GCC's coverage testing tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. gcov may be useful for: * debugging (has this code been reached at all?) * test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?) * minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the associated code is never run?) The profiling patch incorporates the following changes: * change kbuild to include profiling flags * provide functions needed by profiling code * present profiling data as files in debugfs Note that on some architectures, enabling gcc's profiling option "-fprofile-arcs" for the entire kernel may trigger compile/link/ run-time problems, some of which are caused by toolchain bugs and others which require adjustment of architecture code. For this reason profiling the entire kernel is initially restricted to those architectures for which it is known to work without changes. This restriction can be lifted once an architecture has been tested and found compatible with gcc's profiling. Profiling of single files or directories is still available on all platforms (see config help text).
