2009-11-27perf tools: Consolidate symbol resolving across all toolsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Now we have a very high level routine for simple tools to process IP sample events: int event__preprocess_sample(const event_t *self, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) It receives the event itself and will insert new threads in the global threads list and resolve the map and symbol, filling all this info into the new addr_location struct, so that tools like annotate and report can further process the event by creating hist_entries in their specific way (with or without callgraphs, etc). It in turn uses the new next layer function: void thread__find_addr_location(struct thread *self, u8 cpumode, enum map_type type, u64 addr, struct addr_location *al, symbol_filter_t filter) This one will, given a thread (userspace or the kernel kthread one), will find the given type (MAP__FUNCTION now, MAP__VARIABLE too in the near future) at the given cpumode, taking vdsos into account (userspace hit, but kernel symbol) and will fill all these details in the addr_location given. Tools that need a more compact API for plain function resolution, like 'kmem', can use this other one: struct symbol *thread__find_function(struct thread *self, u64 addr, symbol_filter_t filter) So, to resolve a kernel symbol, that is all the 'kmem' tool needs, its just a matter of calling: sym = thread__find_function(kthread, addr, NULL); The 'filter' parameter is needed because we do lazy parsing/loading of ELF symtabs or /proc/kallsyms. With this we remove more code duplication all around, which is always good, huh? :-) Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: John Kacur <jkacur@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> LKML-Reference: <1259346563-12568-12-git-send-email-acme@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2009-11-27perf symbols: Support multiple symtabs in struct threadArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Making the routines that were so far specific to the kernel maps useful for all threads. This is done by making the kernel maps be contained in a kernel "thread". This gets the kernel specific routines closer to the userspace counterparts, which will help in reducing the boilerplate for resolving a symbol, as will be demonstrated in the next patches.

2009-11-27perf symbols: Make the kallsyms loading routines part of the dso classArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
So that the kallsyms loading routines are the direct counterpart of the vmlinux loading ones, i.e. dso__load_kallsyms is the counterpart of dso__load_vmlinux. In the process make them also use the symbols rb tree indexed by map->type, paving the way for supporting other types of symtabs, such as the next one to be supported: variables. This also allowed removal of yet another global variable: kernel_map__functions.

2009-11-21perf symbols: Fixup kernel_maps__fixup_end end mapArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

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.

We need to pass the symbol to the filter so that, for instance, 'perf top' can do filtering and also set the private area it manages, setting the ->map pointer, etc. I found this while running 'perf top' on a machine where hits happened on PLT symbols, where ->map wasn't being set up and segfaults thus happened.

2009-11-11perf tools: Split up build id saving into fetch and writeFrederic Weisbecker
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.

2009-11-08perf symbols: Use the buildids if presentArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

2009-10-20perf tools: Add ->unmap_ip operation to struct mapArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.

2009-10-08perf tools: Improve kernel/modules symbol lookupArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
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.
