Summary

In-tree objdump is too old for dump new elf headers. But if we use
make CROSS_TOOLCHAIN= and not specify CROSS_BINUTILS_PREFIX in env,
embed_mfs.sh cannot find the correct objdump. This patch just replaces using
of objdump with elfdump to collect needed information.

Later we may also put an ELFDUMP in CROSSENV and use it in embed_mfs.sh .

Test Plan

Follow https://wiki.freebsd.org/riscv :

  • build a kernel with MFS embedded
  • build a BBL contains that kernel
  • boot BBL with qemu-system-riscv64

so your delimeter is ' ' and you look for 10th element in the list ? It does not work for me

may be we can still use awk here? it should work and easier to read, for example:

sec_size=`echo ${sec_info} | grep sh_size | awk '{print $2}' 2> /dev/null`
sys/tools/embed_mfs.sh

I don't like this, either. But I found that

sec_info=`elfdump -c $1 2> /dev/null | grep "oldmfs" -A 5`

just concatenates all lines into one line thus awk does not work here. I'll try to find a more elegant solution.

Oh, readelf -WS might be a suitable way as well - it outputs everything on one line and should be a straightforward change from the current objdump output parsing.

objdump -h:

0 .text         00111383  0000000000000000  0000000000000000  00000040  2**4
                CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, RELOC, READONLY, CODE

readelf -WS:

[ 1] .text             PROGBITS        0000000000000000 000040 111383 00  AX  0   0 16

A caveat with readelf -WS I guess is that the section index is space-padded in [ ] (e.g. [ 1], [ 2], ..., [10] etc.) so the field numbers are not consistent, but we could handle that in a few different ways.

Oh, I found that what we need here is simply a pair of double quotes.

I suspect you want at least the leading space, to avoid a possible false positive elsewhere? Also I think it's conventional to put the options before the grep string.

So perhaps grep -A 5 " oldmfs"?

43–44 ↗(On Diff #23834)

You can simplify the pipeline with something like awk '/sh_size/ {print $2}/

  • Use more specified grep pattern to avoid false positive
  • Move option right after grep command
  • Simplify pipeline with pure awk

How about this: grep -A 5 "sh_name: oldmfs$" ?

I seem to have lost my comment, so adding again after accepting:

Much better. You might want an explicit egrep or grep -E for the $ though?

Explicitly state we're using extended regular expression.
