      perf symbols: Save DSO loading errno to better report errors · 18425f13
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      Before, when some problem happened while trying to load the kernel
      symtab, 'perf top' would show:
      
            ┌─Warning:───────────────────────────┐
            │The vmlinux file can't be used.     │
            │Kernel samples will not be resolved.│
            │                                    │
            │                                    │
            │Press any key...                    │
            └────────────────────────────────────┘
      
      Now, it reports:
      
        # perf top --vmlinux /dev/null
      
            ┌─Warning:───────────────────────────────────────────┐
            │The /tmp/passwd file can't be used: Invalid ELF file│
            │Kernel samples will not be resolved.                │

            │Press any key...                                    │
            └────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
      
      This is possible because we now register the reason for not being able
      to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a
      dso__strerror_load() routine to format this error into a strerror like
      string with a short reason for the error while loading.
      
      That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to
      strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message.

      perf symbols: Improve DSO long names lookup speed with rbtree · 4598a0a6
      Waiman Long 提交于
      With workload that spawns and destroys many threads and processes, it
      was found that perf-mem could took a long time to post-process the perf
      data after the target workload had completed its operation.
      
      The performance bottleneck was found to be the lookup and insertion of
      the new DSO structures (thousands of them in this case).
      
      In a dual-socket Ivy-Bridge E7-4890 v2 machine (30-core, 60-thread), the
      perf profile below shows what perf was doing after the profiled AIM7
      shared workload completed:
      
      -     83.94%  perf  libc-2.11.3.so     [.] __strcmp_sse42
         - __strcmp_sse42
            - 99.82% map__new
                 machine__process_mmap_event
                 perf_session_deliver_event
                 perf_session__process_event
                 __perf_session__process_events
                 cmd_record
                 cmd_mem
                 run_builtin
                 main
                 __libc_start_main
      -     13.17%  perf  perf               [.] __dsos__findnew
           __dsos__findnew
           map__new
           machine__process_mmap_event
           perf_session_deliver_event
           perf_session__process_event
           __perf_session__process_events
           cmd_record
           cmd_mem
           run_builtin
           main
           __libc_start_main
      
      So about 97% of CPU times were spent in the map__new() function trying
      to insert new DSO entry into the DSO linked list. The whole
      post-processing step took about 9 minutes.
      
      The DSO structures are currently searched linearly. So the total
      processing time will be proportional to n^2.
      
      To overcome this performance problem, the DSO code is modified to also
      put the DSO structures in a RB tree sorted by its long name in
      additional to being in a simple linked list. With this change, the
      processing time will become proportional to n*log(n) which will be much
      quicker for large n. However, the short name will still be searched
      using the old linear searching method.  With that patch in place, the
      same perf-mem post-processing step took less than 30 seconds to
      complete.

      perf symbols: Encapsulate dsos list head into struct dsos · 8fa7d87f
      Waiman Long 提交于
      This is a precursor patch to enable long name searching of DSOs using
      a rbtree.
      
      In this patch, a new dsos structure is created which contains only a
      list head structure for the moment.
      
      The new dsos structure is used, in turn, in the machine structure for
      the user_dsos and kernel_dsos fields.
      
      Only the following 3 dsos functions are modified to accept the new dsos
      structure parameter instead of list_head:
      
       - dsos__add()
       - dsos__find()
       - __dsos__findnew()

      perf symbols: Use consistent name for the DSO binary type member · 5f70619d
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
      It was called "data_type", but in this context "data" is way too vague,
      it could mean the "data" ELF segment, or something else.
      
      Since we have dso__read_binary_type_filename() and the values this field
      receives are all DSO__BINARY_TYPE_<FOO> we may as well call it
      "binary_type" for consistency sake.
      
      It also seems more appropriate since it determines if we can do
      operations like annotation and DWARF unwinding, that needs more than
      just the symtab, requiring access to ELF text segments, CFI ELF
      sections, etc.
