+# 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 is a section in vmlinux called
+# __mcount_loc that contains a list of pointers to all the
+# call sites in the kernel that call mcount. 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.
+#
+# The references to the call sites are offsets from the section of text
+# 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.
+#
+# The trick is to find a way to record the beginning of the section.
+# The way we do this is to look at the first function in the section
+# which will also be the location of that section after final link.
+# e.g.
+#
+# .section ".text.sched"
+# .globl my_func
+# my_func:
+# [...]
+# call mcount (offset: 0x5)
+# [...]
+# ret
+# other_func:
+# [...]
+# call mcount (offset: 0x1b)
+# [...]
+#
+# Both relocation offsets for the mcounts in the above example will be
+# offset from .text.sched. If we make another file called tmp.s with:
+#
+# .section __mcount_loc
+# .quad my_func + 0x5
+# .quad my_func + 0x1b
+#
+# We can then compile this tmp.s into tmp.o, and link it to the original
+# object.
+#
+# But this gets hard if my_func is not globl (a static function).
+# In such a case we have:
+#
+# .section ".text.sched"
+# my_func:
+# [...]
+# call mcount (offset: 0x5)
+# [...]
+# ret
+# .globl my_func
+# other_func:
+# [...]
+# call mcount (offset: 0x1b)
+# [...]
+#
+# 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 my_func:
+# one local, one global. After final compile, we will end up with
+# an undefined reference to my_func.
+#
+# 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 the my_func
+# into a global symbol before linking tmp.o. Then after we link tmp.o
+# we will only have a single symbol for my_func that is global.
+# We can convert my_func 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.
+# End.
+# 8) Link the object with the list object.
+# 9) Move the result back to the original object.
+# End.
