    perf report: Fix module symbol adjustment for s390x · 4a084ecf
    Thomas Richter 提交于
    The 'perf report' tool does not display the addresses of kernel module
    symbols correctly.
    
    For example symbol qeth_send_ipa_cmd in kernel module qeth.ko has this
    relative address for function qeth_send_ipa_cmd():
    
      [root@s8360047 linux]# nm -g drivers/s390/net/qeth.ko | fgrep send_ipa_cmd
      0000000000013088 T qeth_send_ipa_cmd
    
    The module is loaded at address:
    
      [root@s8360047 linux]# cat /sys/module/qeth/sections/.text
      0x000003ff80296d20
      [root@s8360047 linux]#
    
    This should result in a start address of:
    
      0x13088 + 0x3ff80296d20 = 0x3ff802a9da8
    
    Using crash to verify the address on a live system:
    
      [root@s8360046 linux]# crash vmlinux
    
      crash 7.1.9++

      crash> mod -s qeth drivers/s390/net/qeth.ko

      crash>
    
    Now perf report displays the address of symbol qeth_send_ipa_cmd:
    symbol__new:
    
      qeth_send_ipa_cmd 0x130f0-0x132ce
    
    There is a difference of 0x68 between the entry in the symbol table (see
    nm command above) and perf. The difference is from the offset the .text
    segment of qeth.ko:
    
      [root@s8360047 perf]# readelf -a drivers/s390/net/qeth.ko
      Section Headers:
      [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset
           Size              EntSize          Flags  Link  Info  Align
      [ 0]                   NULL             0000000000000000  00000000
           0000000000000000  0000000000000000           0     0     0
      [ 1] .note.gnu.build-i NOTE             0000000000000000  00000040
           0000000000000024  0000000000000000   A       0     0     4
      [ 2] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000068
           000000000001c8a0  0000000000000000  AX       0     0     8
    
    As seen the .text segment has an offset of 0x68 with start address 0x0.
    Therefore 0x68 is added to the address of qeth_send_ipa_cmd and thus
    0x13088 + 0x68 = 0x130f0 is displayed.
    
    This is wrong, perf report needs to display the start address of symbol
    qeth_send_ipa_cmd at 0x13088 + qeth.ko.text section start address.
    
    The qeth.ko module .text start address is available in the qeth.ko DSO
    map. Just identify the kernel module symbols and correct the addresses.
    
    With the fix I see this correct address for symbol: symbol__new:
    qeth_send_ipa_cmd 0x3ff802a9da8-0x3ff802a9f86
