      perf symbols: Fix ELF header errors during "perf kmem record" · e57cfcda
      Pekka Enberg 提交于
      The write_event() function in builtin-record.c writes out all
      mmap()'d DSOs including non-ELF files like GNOME resource files
      and such.
      
      Therefore, check for ELF_K_ELF in filename__read_build_id()
      before attempting to read the ELF header with gelf_getehdr().
      
      Fixes the following error messages when running "perf kmem
      record":
      
        penberg@penberg-laptop:~/src/linux/tools/perf$ perf kmem record

      perf symbols: Fixup kernel_maps__fixup_end end map · 90c83218
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      We better call this routine after both the kernel and modules
      are loaded, because as it was if there weren't modules it would not
      be called, resulting in kernel_map->end remaining at zero, so no
      map would be found and consequently the kernel symtab wouldn't
      get loaded, i.e. no kernel symbols would be resolved.
      
      Also this fixes another case, that is when we _have_ modules,
      but the last map would have its ->end address not set before we
      loaded its symbols, which would never happen because ->end was
      not set.

      E.g.:
      
      [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -v --vmlinux
      ../build/tip/vmlinux > /dev/null build_id in vmlinux is
      e96699725a47413a50c231864a8e7a8ced40a31b while expected is
      18e7cc53db62a7d35e9d6f6c9ddc23017d38ee9a, ignoring it
      
      I.e. perf top was told to use a vmlinux file that is not the one
      currently running on the machine, it ignores it and falls back
      to using /proc/kallsyms.
      
      This solves many, at first, mysterious results when people have
      a stale vmlinux file while keeping the default of trying to use
      the vmlinux file in the current directory in things like 'perf
      annotate' where the DWARF info is required and thus we can't use
      just /proc/kallsyms.
      
      Modules buildids are already being checked as of the previous
      changeset in this series, because we are using the default
      dso__load routine, that will look at a series of places looking
      for the best file with a matching buildid, starting in the
      -debuginfo directories.

      perf symbols: Do lazy symtab loading for the kernel & modules too · c338aee8
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Just like we do with the other DSOs. This also simplifies the
      kernel_maps setup process, now all that the tools need to do is
      to call kernel_maps__init and the maps for the modules and
      kernel will be created, then, later, when
      kernel_maps__find_symbol() is used, it will also call
      maps__find_symbol that already checks if the symtab was loaded,
      loading it if needed.
      
      Now if one does 'perf top --hide_kernel_symbols' we won't pay
      the price of loading the (many) symbols in /proc/kallsyms or
      vmlinux.

      It should just load kernel symbols, not load the list of

      End goal is to be able to defer symbol table loading till we

      Several refactorings were needed so that we can have symmetry
      between dsos__load_modules() and dsos__load_kernel(), i.e. those
      functions will respectively create and add to the dsos list the
      loaded modules and kernel, with its buildids, but not load its
      symbols. That is something the subcomands that need will have to
      call dso__load_kernel_sym(), just like we do with modules with
      dsos__load_module_sym()/dso__load_module_sym().

      perf tools: Split up build id saving into fetch and write · 57f395a7
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      We are saving the build id once we stop the profiling. And only
      after doing that we know if we need to set that feature in the
      header through the feature bitmap.
      
      But if we want a proper feature support in the headers, using a
      rule of offset/size pairs in sections, we need to know in
      advance how many features we need to set in the headers, so that
      we can reserve rooms for their section headers.
      
      The current state doesn't allow that, as it forces us to first
      save the build-ids to the file right after the datas instead of
      planning any structured layout.
      
      That's why this splits up the build-ids processing in two parts:
      one that fetches the build-ids from the Dso objects, and one
      that saves them into the file.

      perf symbols: Use the buildids if present · 8d06367f
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      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.

      perf tools: Fix compatibility with libelf 0.8 and autodetect · 84087126
      Marti Raudsepp 提交于
      The Makefile now automatically defines LIBELF_NO_MMAP when
      libelf 0.8.x is detected. libelf 0.8 is still maintained and
      some distributions such as Arch Linux use it instead of
      elfutils.

      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.

      perf tools: Add ->unmap_ip operation to struct map · ed52ce2e
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      We need this because we get section relative addresses when
      reading the symtabs, but when a tool like 'perf annotate' needs
      to match these address to what 'objdump -dS' produces we need
      the address + section back again.
      
      So in annotate now we look at the 'struct hist_entry' instances
      (that weren't really being used) so that we iterate only over
      the symbols that had some hit and get the map where that
      particular hit happened so that we can get the right address to
      match with annotate.
      
      Verified that at least:
      
       perf annotate mmap_read_counter # Uses the ~/bin/perf binary
       perf annotate --vmlinux /home/acme/git/build/perf/vmlinux intel_pmu_enable_all
      
      on a 'perf record perf top' session seems to work.

      perf tools: Improve kernel/modules symbol lookup · 2e538c4a
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      This removes the ovelapping of vmlinux addresses with modules,
      using the ELF section name when using --vmlinux and creating a
      unique DSO name when using /proc/kallsyms ([kernel].N).
      
      This is done by creating multiple 'struct map' instances for
      address ranges backed by DSOs that have just the symbols for that
      range and a name that is derived from the ELF section name.o
      
      Now it is possible to ask for just the symbols in some particular
      kernel section:
      
      $ perf report -m --vmlinux ../build/tip-recvmmsg/vmlinux \
      	--dsos [kernel].vsyscall_fn | head -15
          52.73%             Xorg  [.] vread_hpet
          18.61%          firefox  [.] vread_hpet
          14.50%     npviewer.bin  [.] vread_hpet
           6.83%           compiz  [.] vread_hpet
           5.73%         glxgears  [.] vread_hpet
           0.63%             java  [.] vread_hpet
           0.30%   gnome-terminal  [.] vread_hpet
           0.23%             perf  [.] vread_hpet
           0.18%            xchat  [.] vread_hpet
      $
      
      Now we don't have to first lookup the list of modules and then, if
      it fails, vmlinux symbols, its just a simple lookup for the map
      then the symbols, just like for threads.
      
      Reports generated using /proc/kallsyms and --vmlinux should provide
      the same results, modulo the DSO name for sections other than
      ".text".
      
      But they don't right now because things like:
      
       ffffffff81011c20-ffffffff81012068 system_call
       ffffffff81011c30-ffffffff81011c9b system_call_after_swapgs
       ffffffff81011c9c-ffffffff81011cb6 system_call_fastpath
       ffffffff81011cb7-ffffffff81011cbb ret_from_sys_call
      
      I.e. overlapping symbols, again some ASM special case that we have
      to fixup.

      perf tools: elf_sym__is_function() should accept "zero" sized functions · 81833130
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Asm routines that end up having size equal to zero are not really
      zero sized, and as now we do kernel_maps__fixup_sym_end, at least
      for kernel routines this gets fixed.
      
      A similar fixup needs to be done for the userspace bits as well,
      but as this fixup started only because in /proc/kallsyms we don't
      have the end address nor the function size, it appeared here first.
