patchable function entries are being generated.
* varasm.c (assemble_start_function): Look at the
patchable-function-entry command line switch and current
function attributes and maybe generate NOP instructions by
calling the print_patchable_function_entry hook.

command line option.

+@cindex extra NOP instructions at the function entry point
+In case the target's text segment can be made writable at run time by
+any means, padding the function entry with a number of NOPs can be
+used to provide a universal tool for instrumentation. Usually,
+patchable function entries are enabled globally using the
+@option{-fpatchable-function-entry=N,M} command-line switch, and
+disabled with attribute @code{patchable_function_entry (0)} for
+functions that are part of the actual instrumentation framework.
+This conveniently avoids an endless recursion.
+The @code{patchable_function_entry} function attribute can be used to
+change the number of NOPs to any desired value. The two-value syntax
+is the same as for the command-line switch
+@option{-fpatchable-function-entry=N,M}, generating @var{N} NOPs, with
+the function entry point before the @var{M}th NOP instruction.

+@opindex fpatchable-function-entry
+Generate @var{N} NOPs right at the beginning
+of each function, with the function entry point before the @var{M}th NOP.
+If @var{M} is omitted, it defaults to @code{0} so the
+function entry points to the address just at the first NOP.
+The NOP instructions reserve extra space which can be used to patch in
+any desired instrumentation at run time, provided that the code segment
+is writable. The amount of space is controllable indirectly via
+the number of NOPs; the NOP instruction used corresponds to the instruction
+emitted by the internal GCC back-end interface @code{gen_nop}. This behavior
+is target-specific and may also depend on the architecture variant and/or
+other compilation options.
+
+For run-time identification, the starting addresses of these areas,
+which correspond to their respective function entries minus @var{M},
+are additionally collected in the @code{__patchable_function_entries}
+section of the resulting binary.
+
+Note that the value of @code{__attribute__ ((patchable_function_entry
+(N,M)))} takes precedence over command-line option
+@option{-fpatchable-function-entry=N,M}. This can be used to increase
+the area size or to remove it completely on a single function.
+If @code{N=0}, no pad location is recorded.

+The NOP instructions are inserted at --- and maybe before, depending on
+@var{M} --- the function entry address, even before the prologue.

still to sort out.
I can't see anything in the patch to deal with targets that set
TARGET_HAVE_NAMED_SECTIONS to false. We'll probably ICE in that case
since the compiler will be unable to record the location of the patch
region in the explicitly named section. I think the correct thing to do
there is to reject the option during option validation when we can't
support it properly.
The template NOP in default_print_patchable_function_entry needs to be
added as a GC root to prevent it being discarded during garbage collection.
There are a couple of documentation tweaks, which I think help make the
text a little more comprehensible. See inline.

I think it would be better to use the imperative here. Perhaps
something like:
If patchable function entries are enabled globally using the command
line option @option{-fpatchable-function-entry=N,M}, then all functions
that are part of the instrumentation framework must disable
instrumentation with the attribute @code{patchable_function_entry (0)}
to prevent recursion.
However, I'd be inclined to put that in a separate paragraph below
following text.

I had to parse that final sentence twice to understand what you meant.
The problem is that in documentation 'Note' is often used as something
being pointed out to the reader to be of special importance. Here, I
think you'd be better off with
If @var{record_p} is true insert a pointer the current location in the
table of patchable functions.
You then need to describe where that 'table' goes.

How about omitting the recording step and document that? This way the
instrumentation can still be useful on e.g. a.out format; the framework
would then have to check around each function entry whether the NOPs are
there.

Are you sure? For the nop_templ I'm only digging my way to the platform-
dependent constant string, which I find amongst the constant strings in
.rodata (or .text, for platforms without named sections ;-).
Is the memory region pointed to by nop_templ really endangered?

Ack for those, in toto. I wrote this stuff, and am actively using it.
I find it sort of hard to imagine to have 0 knowledge about it, and phrase
documentation accordingly. I'd add the half-sentence for non named sections,
see below.

I'm happy with that if the result is still something useful. Frankly, I
don't think GCC has many targets now that don't support named sections,
so I wouldn't loose too much sleep over being unable to support this
feature on such targets. However, if the implementation is straight
forward then doing what you suggest is fine.

I'd missed that this was trying to recover a string. That's probably OK
from a GC perspective then, but it isn't safe to hold this between
functions since the nop used for one function might not be the same when
we come to the next. Consider, for example, the ARM port where we can
switch from generating ARM code to generating Thumb code: it might work
with the current implementation, but this isn't guaranteed to be the case.

Obviously this will need some tweaking if you change things to support

I don't think so: get_insn_template() should always return strings in
.rodata, even for output statements, and should never point into GC
memory.

Bah, ignore that. I should refetch mail before answering mid-thread ;)

Ok, will do it this way then.

I'm "caching" the string, currently. Now that you say it...
It will slow things down a bit, but you're right.
