Usually "_text" is enough, but I received reports that its not always available, so fallback to "_stext" for the symbol we use to check if we need to apply any relocation to all the symbols in the kernel symtab, for when, for instance, kexec is being used.

At present, the perf subcommands that do system-wide monitoring (perf stat, perf record and perf top) don't work properly unless the online cpus are numbered 0, 1, ..., N-1. These tools ask for the number of online cpus with sysconf(_SC_NPROCESSORS_ONLN) and then try to create events for cpus 0, 1, ..., N-1. This creates problems for systems where the online cpus are numbered sparsely. For example, a POWER6 system in single-threaded mode (i.e. only running 1 hardware thread per core) will have only even-numbered cpus online. This fixes the problem by reading the /sys/devices/system/cpu/online file to find out which cpus are online. The code that does that is in tools/perf/util/cpumap.[ch], and consists of a read_cpu_map() function that sets up a cpumap[] array and returns the number of online cpus. If /sys/devices/system/cpu/online can't be read or can't be parsed successfully, it falls back to using sysconf to ask how many cpus are online and sets up an identity map in cpumap[]. The perf record, perf stat and perf top code then calls read_cpu_map() in the system-wide monitoring case (instead of sysconf) and uses cpumap[] to get the cpu numbers to pass to perf_event_open.

In the past 'perf record' had to process only userspace MMAP events, the ones generated in the kernel, but after we reused the MMAP events to encode the module mapings we ended up adding them first to the list of userspace DSOs (dsos__user) and to the kernel one (dsos__kernel). Fix this by encoding the header.misc field and then using it, like other parts to decide the right DSOs list to insert/find. The gotcha here is that since the kernel puts zero in .misc, which isn't PERF_RECORD_MISC_KERNEL (1 << 1), to differentiate, we put 1 in .misc.

We were always looking at the running machine /proc/modules, even when processing a perf.data file, which only makes sense when we're doing 'perf record' and 'perf report' on the same machine, and in close sucession, or if we don't use modules at all, right Peter? ;-) Now, at 'perf record' time we read /proc/modules, find the long path for modules, and put them as PERF_MMAP events, just like we did to encode the reloc reference symbol for vmlinux. Talking about that now it is encoded in .pgoff, so that we can use .{start,len} to store the address boundaries for the kernel so that when we reconstruct the kmaps tree we can do lookups right away, without having to fixup the end of the kernel maps like we did in the past (and now only in perf record). One more step in the 'perf archive' direction when we'll finally be able to collect data in one machine and analyse in another.

DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on monitored threads. To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having 'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded like this: [root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ] [root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10 0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1 . . ... raw event: size 64 bytes . 0000: 01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........ . 0010: 00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ............... . 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........ [kernel . 0030: 6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00 kallsyms._text] . 0xd0 [0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text] I.e. we identify such event as having: .pid = 0 .filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME] .start = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME. Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as the relocation to apply. This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.

There is still some more work to do to disentangle map creation from DSO loading, but this happens only for the kernel, and for the early adopters of perf diff, where this disentanglement matters most, we'll be testing different kernels, so no problem here. Further clarification: right now we create the kernel maps for the various modules and discontiguous kernel text maps when loading the DSO, we should do it as a two step process, first creating the maps, for multiple mappings with the same DSO store, then doing the dso load just once, for the first hit on one of the maps sharing this DSO backing store.

Don't forget to also synthetize the targeted process from perf record or we'll miss its dso in the events and then we won't be able to deal with its build-id. We are missing it because it is created after the existing synthetized tasks but before the counters are enabled and can send its mapping event.

The perf_event_open() system call returns EACCES if the user is not root which results in a very confusing error message: $ perf record -A -a -f Error: perfcounter syscall returned with -1 (Permission denied) Fatal: No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? It turns out that's because perf tools are checking only for EPERM. Fix that up to get a much better error message: $ perf record -A -a -f Fatal: Permission error - are you root?

With this change 'perf record' will intercept PERF_RECORD_MMAP calls, creating a linked list of DSOs, then when the session finishes, it will traverse this list and read the buildids, stashing them at the end of the file and will set up a new feature bit in the header bitmask. 'perf report' will then notice this feature and populate the 'dsos' list and set the build ids. When reading the symtabs it will refuse to load from a file that doesn't have the same build id. This improves the reliability of the profiler output, as symbols and profiling data is more guaranteed to match. Example: [root@doppio ~]# perf report | head /home/acme/bin/perf with build id b1ea544ac3746e7538972548a09aadecc5753868 not found, continuing without symbols # Samples: 2621434559 # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ............... ............................. ...... # 7.91% init [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.64% init [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] read_hpet 7.60% swapper [kernel] [k] mwait_idle_with_hints 3.65% init [kernel] [k] 0xffffffffa02339d9 [root@doppio ~]# In this case the 'perf' binary was an older one, vanished, so its symbols probably wouldn't match or would cause subtly different (and misleading) output. Next patches will support the kernel as well, reading the build id notes for it and the modules from /sys. Another patch should also introduce a new plumbing command: 'perf list-buildids' that will then be used in porcelain that is distro specific to fetch -debuginfo packages where such buildids are present. This will in turn allow for one to run 'perf record' in one machine and 'perf report' in another. Future work on having the buildid sent directly from the kernel in the PERF_RECORD_MMAP event is needed to close races, as the DSO can be changed during a 'perf record' session, but this patch at least helps with non-corner cases and current/older kernels.

Because we will need it in 'perf top' to support userspace symbols for existing threads. Now we pass a callback that will receive the synthesized event and then write it to the output file in 'perf record' and in the upcoming patch for 'perf top' we will just immediatelly create the in memory representation of threads and maps.

We were using eprintf in some places, that looks at a global 'verbose' level, and at other places passing a 'v' parameter to specify the verbosity level, unify it by introducing pr_{err,warning,debug,etc}, just like in the kernel.

This provides a new set of bitmasked headers. A new field is added in the perf headers that implements a bitmap storing optional features present in the perf.data file. The layout can be pictured like this: (Usual perf headers)(Features bitmap)[Feature 0][Feature n][Feature 255] If the bit n is set, then the feature n is used in this file. They are all set in order. This brings a backward and forward compatibility. The trace_info section has moved into such optional features, this is the first and only one for now. This is backward compatible with the .32 file version although it doesn't support the previous separate trace.info file. And finally it doesn't support the current interim development version.
