      perf symbols: Add support for reading from /proc/kcore · 8e0cf965
      Adrian Hunter 提交于
      In the absence of vmlinux, perf tools uses kallsyms for symbols.  If the
      user has access, now also map to /proc/kcore.
      
      The dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__KCORE or
      DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_KCORE as approprite.
      
      This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test.  That is
      fixed in a following patch.

      perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from kernel modules · 0131c4ec
      Adrian Hunter 提交于
      The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read
      object code from kernel modules.  That is because the mappings do not
      map to the dsos.  This patch fixes that.
      
      This involves identifying and flagging relocatable (ELF type ET_REL)
      files (e.g. kernel modules) for symbol adjustment and updating
      map__rip_2objdump() accordingly.  The kmodule parameter of
      dso__load_sym() is taken into use and the module map altered to map to
      the dso.

      perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from vmlinux · 39b12f78
      Adrian Hunter 提交于
      The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read
      object code from vmlinux.  That is because the mappings do not map to
      the dso.  This patch fixes that.
      
      A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc" offset must
      be taken into account.  As a result of that separate map functions for
      relocation are no longer needed.
      
      Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes sense and
      so is not done.
      
      The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX
      or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_VMLINUX as approprite, which enables the
      correct file name to be determined by dso__binary_type_file().
      
      This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test.  That is
      fixed in a following patch.

      perf symbols: Fix vdso list searching · f9ceffb6
      Waiman Long 提交于
      When "perf record" was used on a large machine with a lot of CPUs, the
      perf post-processing time (the time after the workload was done until
      the perf command itself exited) could take a lot of minutes and even
      hours depending on how large the resulting perf.data file was.
      
      While running AIM7 1500-user high_systime workload on a 80-core x86-64
      system with a 3.9 kernel (with only the -s -a options used), the
      workload itself took about 2 minutes to run and the perf.data file had a
      size of 1108.746 MB. However, the post-processing step took more than 10
      minutes.
      
      With a gprof-profiled perf binary, the time spent by perf was as
      follows:
      
        %   cumulative   self              self     total
       time   seconds   seconds    calls   s/call   s/call  name
       96.90    822.10   822.10   192156     0.00     0.00  dsos__find
        0.81    828.96     6.86 172089958     0.00     0.00  rb_next
        0.41    832.44     3.48 48539289     0.00     0.00  rb_erase
      
      So 97% (822 seconds) of the time was spent in a single dsos_find()
      function. After analyzing the call-graph data below:

       [8]     96.9  822.10    0.00  192156         dsos__find [8]
       -----------------------------------------------
      
      It was found that the vdso__dso_findnew() function failed to locate
      VDSO__MAP_NAME ("[vdso]") in the dso list and have to insert a new
      entry at the end for 192156 times. This problem is due to the fact that
      there are 2 types of name in the dso entry - short name and long name.
      The initial dso__new() adds "[vdso]" to both the short and long names.
      After that, vdso__dso_findnew() modifies the long name to something
      like /tmp/perf-vdso.so-NoXkDj. The dsos__find() function only compares
      the long name. As a result, the same vdso entry is duplicated many
      time in the dso list. This bug increases memory consumption as well
      as slows the symbol processing time to a crawl.
      
      To resolve this problem, the dsos__find() function interface was
      modified to enable searching either the long name or the short
      name. The vdso__dso_findnew() will now search only the short name
      while the other call sites search for the long name as before.
      
      With this change, the cpu time of perf was reduced from 848.38s to
      15.77s and dsos__find() only accounted for 0.06% of the total time.
