33 /* CTF - Compact ANSI-C Type Format
35 This file format can be used to compactly represent the information needed
36 by a debugger to interpret the ANSI-C types used by a given program.
37 Traditionally, this kind of information is generated by the compiler when
38 invoked with the -g flag and is stored in "stabs" strings or in the more
39 modern DWARF format. CTF provides a representation of only the information
40 that is relevant to debugging a complex, optimized C program such as the
41 operating system kernel in a form that is significantly more compact than
42 the equivalent stabs or DWARF representation. The format is data-model
43 independent, so consumers do not need different code depending on whether
44 they are 32-bit or 64-bit programs; libctf automatically compensates for
45 endianness variations. CTF assumes that a standard ELF symbol table is
46 available for use in the debugger, and uses the structure and data of the
47 symbol table to avoid storing redundant information. The CTF data may be
48 compressed on disk or in memory, indicated by a bit in the header. CTF may
49 be interpreted in a raw disk file, or it may be stored in an ELF section,
50 typically named .ctf. Data structures are aligned so that a raw CTF file or
51 CTF ELF section may be manipulated using mmap(2).
53 The CTF file or section itself has the following structure:
55 +--------+--------+---------+----------+--------+----------+...
56 | file | type | data | function | object | function |...
57 | header | labels | objects | info | index | index |...
58 +--------+--------+---------+----------+--------+----------+...
60 ...+----------+-------+--------+
61 ...| variable | data | string |
62 ...| info | types | table |
63 +----------+-------+--------+
65 The file header stores a magic number and version information, encoding
66 flags, and the byte offset of each of the sections relative to the end of the
67 header itself. If the CTF data has been uniquified against another set of
68 CTF data, a reference to that data also appears in the the header. This
69 reference is the name of the label corresponding to the types uniquified
70 against.
72 Following the header is a list of labels, used to group the types included in
73 the data types section. Each label is accompanied by a type ID i. A given
74 label refers to the group of types whose IDs are in the range [0, i].
76 Data object and function records (collectively, "symtypetabs") are stored in
77 the same order as they appear in the corresponding symbol table, except that
78 symbols marked SHN_UNDEF are not stored and symbols that have no type data
79 are padded out with zeroes. For each entry in these tables, the type ID (a
80 small integer) is recorded. (Functions get CTF_K_FUNCTION types, just like
81 data objects that are function pointers.)
83 For situations in which the order of the symbols in the symtab is not known,
84 or most symbols have no type in this dict and most entries would be
85 zero-pads, a pair of optional indexes follow the data object and function
86 info sections: each of these is an array of strtab indexes, mapped 1:1 to the
87 corresponding data object / function info section, giving each entry in those
88 sections a name so that the linker can correlate them with final symtab
89 entries and reorder them accordingly (dropping the indexes in the process).
91 Variable records (as distinct from data objects) provide a modicum of support
92 for non-ELF systems, mapping a variable name to a CTF type ID. The variable
93 names are sorted into ASCIIbetical order, permitting binary searching. We do
94 not define how the consumer maps these variable names to addresses or
95 anything else, or indeed what these names represent: they might be names
96 looked up at runtime via dlsym() or names extracted at runtime by a debugger
97 or anything else the consumer likes. Variable records with identically-
98 named entries in the data object section are removed.
100 The data types section is a list of variable size records that represent each
101 type, in order by their ID. The types themselves form a directed graph,
102 where each node may contain one or more outgoing edges to other type nodes,
103 denoted by their ID. Most type nodes are standalone or point backwards to
104 earlier nodes, but this is not required: nodes can point to later nodes,
105 particularly structure and union members.
107 Strings are recorded as a string table ID (0 or 1) and a byte offset into the
108 string table. String table 0 is the internal CTF string table. String table
109 1 is the external string table, which is the string table associated with the
110 ELF dynamic symbol table for this object. CTF does not record any strings
111 that are already in the symbol table, and the CTF string table does not
112 contain any duplicated strings.
114 If the CTF data has been merged with another parent CTF object, some outgoing
115 edges may refer to type nodes that exist in another CTF object. The debugger
116 and libctf library are responsible for connecting the appropriate objects
117 together so that the full set of types can be explored and manipulated.
119 This connection is done purely using the ctf_import() function. The
120 ctf_archive machinery (and thus ctf_open et al) automatically imports archive
121 members named ".ctf" into child dicts if available in the same archive, to
122 match the relationship set up by the linker, but callers can call ctf_import
123 themselves as well if need be, if they know a different relationship is in
124 force. */

470 is suitable for mmap()ing: this control structure merely describes the
471 mmap()ed archive (and overlaps the first few bytes of it), hence the
472 greater care taken with integral types. All CTF files in an archive
473 must have the same data model. (This is not validated.)
475 All integers in this structure are stored in little-endian byte order.
477 The code relies on the fact that everything in this header is a uint64_t
478 and thus the header needs no padding (in particular, that no padding is
479 needed between ctfa_ctfs and the unnamed ctfa_archive_modent array
480 that follows it).
482 This is *not* the same as the data structure returned by the ctf_arc_*()
483 functions: this is the low-level on-disk representation. */
