The arch-specific implementation is called drivers / oprofile / oprof.c
drivers/oprofile/oprof.c
static int __init oprofile_init(void)
{
int err;
/* always init architecture to setup backtrace support */
timer_mode = 0;
err = oprofile_arch_init(&oprofile_ops);
if (!err) {
if (!timer && !oprofilefs_register())
return 0;
oprofile_arch_exit();
}
/* setup timer mode: */
timer_mode = 1;
/* no nmi timer mode if oprofile.timer is set */
if (timer || op_nmi_timer_init(&oprofile_ops)) {
err = oprofile_timer_init(&oprofile_ops);
if (err)
return err;
}
return oprofilefs_register();
}
static void __exit oprofile_exit(void)
{
oprofilefs_unregister();
if (!timer_mode)
oprofile_arch_exit();
}
In arm, backtrace for arm is registered.
arch/arm/oprofile/common.c
int __init oprofile_arch_init(struct oprofile_operations *ops)
{
/* provide backtrace support also in timer mode: */
ops->backtrace = arm_backtrace;
return oprofile_perf_init(ops);
}
1.1 arm_backtrace
arch/arm/oprofile/common.c
static void arm_backtrace(struct pt_regs * const regs, unsigned int depth)
{
struct frame_tail *tail = ((struct frame_tail *) regs->ARM_fp) - 1;
if (!user_mode(regs)) {
struct stackframe frame;
arm_get_current_stackframe(regs, &frame);
walk_stackframe(&frame, report_trace, &depth);
return;
}
while (depth-- && tail && !((unsigned long) tail & 3))
tail = user_backtrace(tail);
}
2.1 arm_get_current_stackframe()
arm_get_current_stackframe () just writes the contents of regs back to frame, so yeah! Feeling like that.
arch/arm/include/asm/stacktrace.h
static __always_inline
void arm_get_current_stackframe(struct pt_regs *regs, struct stackframe *frame)
{
frame->fp = frame_pointer(regs);
frame->sp = regs->ARM_sp;
frame->lr = regs->ARM_lr;
frame->pc = regs->ARM_pc;
}
2.2 walk_stackframe()
This is the job of executing the function pointer fn while going down the frame.
arch/arm/kernel/stacktrace.c
void notrace walk_stackframe(struct stackframe *frame,
int (*fn)(struct stackframe *, void *), void *data)
{
while (1) {
int ret;
if (fn(frame, data))
break;
ret = unwind_frame(frame);
if (ret < 0)
break;
}
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(walk_stackframe);
2.3 unwind_frame()
Work to pull out fp, sp, pc from framepointer. If you refer to the stack sequentially with this ...
arch/arm/kernel/stacktrace.c
#if defined(CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER) && !defined(CONFIG_ARM_UNWIND)
/*
* Unwind the current stack frame and store the new register values in the
* structure passed as argument. Unwinding is equivalent to a function return,
* hence the new PC value rather than LR should be used for backtrace.
*
* With framepointer enabled, a simple function prologue looks like this:
* mov ip, sp
* stmdb sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc}
* sub fp, ip, #4
*
* A simple function epilogue looks like this:
* ldm sp, {fp, sp, pc}
*
* Note that with framepointer enabled, even the leaf functions have the same
* prologue and epilogue, therefore we can ignore the LR value in this case.
*/
int notrace unwind_frame(struct stackframe *frame)
{
unsigned long high, low;
unsigned long fp = frame->fp;
/* only go to a higher address on the stack */
low = frame->sp;
high = ALIGN(low, THREAD_SIZE);
/* check current frame pointer is within bounds */
if (fp < low + 12 || fp > high - 4)
return -EINVAL;
/* restore the registers from the stack frame */
frame->fp = *(unsigned long *)(fp - 12);
frame->sp = *(unsigned long *)(fp - 8);
frame->pc = *(unsigned long *)(fp - 4);
return 0;
}
#endif
2.4 report_trace()
The process of recording traces in oprofile.
arch/arm/oprofile/common.c
static int report_trace(struct stackframe *frame, void *d)
{
unsigned int *depth = d;
if (*depth) {
oprofile_add_trace(frame->pc);
(*depth)--;
}
return *depth == 0;
}
3.1 user_backtrace
In the upper layer, it is added to each stack and this user_backtrace () is called, so here it is a process for a single stack.
Then register in oprofile and finish!
arch/arm/oprofile/common.c
/*
* The registers we're interested in are at the end of the variable
* length saved register structure. The fp points at the end of this
* structure so the address of this struct is:
* (struct frame_tail *)(xxx->fp)-1
*/
struct frame_tail {
struct frame_tail *fp;
unsigned long sp;
unsigned long lr;
} __attribute__((packed));
static struct frame_tail* user_backtrace(struct frame_tail *tail)
{
struct frame_tail buftail[2];
/* Also check accessibility of one struct frame_tail beyond */
if (!access_ok(tail, sizeof(buftail)))
return NULL;
if (__copy_from_user_inatomic(buftail, tail, sizeof(buftail)))
return NULL;
oprofile_add_trace(buftail[0].lr);
/* frame pointers should strictly progress back up the stack
* (towards higher addresses) */
if (tail + 1 >= buftail[0].fp)
return NULL;
return buftail[0].fp-1;
}
This just calls oprofile_perf_exit () in Oomoto.
arch/arm/oprofile/common.c
void oprofile_arch_exit(void)
{
oprofile_perf_exit();
}
Speaking of which, I wonder if it is compatible with other CPUs, but pt_regs is divided for each arch ...
arch/arm/include/asm/ptrace.h
struct pt_regs {
unsigned long uregs[18];
};
arch/arm64/include/asm/ptrace.h
/*
* This struct defines the way the registers are stored on the stack during an
* exception. Note that sizeof(struct pt_regs) has to be a multiple of 16 (for
* stack alignment). struct user_pt_regs must form a prefix of struct pt_regs.
*/
struct pt_regs {
union {
struct user_pt_regs user_regs;
struct {
u64 regs[31];
u64 sp;
u64 pc;
u64 pstate;
};
};
u64 orig_x0;
#ifdef __AARCH64EB__
u32 unused2;
s32 syscallno;
#else
s32 syscallno;
u32 unused2;
#endif
u64 orig_addr_limit;
/* Only valid when ARM64_HAS_IRQ_PRIO_MASKING is enabled. */
u64 pmr_save;
u64 stackframe[2];
};
arch/riscv/include/asm/ptrace.h
struct pt_regs {
unsigned long epc;
unsigned long ra;
unsigned long sp;
unsigned long gp;
unsigned long tp;
unsigned long t0;
unsigned long t1;
unsigned long t2;
unsigned long s0;
unsigned long s1;
unsigned long a0;
unsigned long a1;
unsigned long a2;
unsigned long a3;
unsigned long a4;
unsigned long a5;
unsigned long a6;
unsigned long a7;
unsigned long s2;
unsigned long s3;
unsigned long s4;
unsigned long s5;
unsigned long s6;
unsigned long s7;
unsigned long s8;
unsigned long s9;
unsigned long s10;
unsigned long s11;
unsigned long t3;
unsigned long t4;
unsigned long t5;
unsigned long t6;
/* Supervisor/Machine CSRs */
unsigned long status;
unsigned long badaddr;
unsigned long cause;
/* a0 value before the syscall */
unsigned long orig_a0;
};
