    perf report: Fix a wrong offset issue when using /proc/kcore · 935f5a9d
    Jin Yao authored
    When a valid vmlinux is not found, 'perf report' falls back to look at
    /proc/kcore. In this case, it will report the impossible large offset.
    
    For example:
    
      # perf record -b -e cycles:k find /etc/ > /dev/null
      # perf report --stdio --branch-history
    
        22.77%  _vm_normal_page+18446603336221188162
                |
                ---page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188324
                   page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188487 (cycles:5)
                   unlock_page_memcg +18446603336221188096
                   page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188327 (cycles:1)
    
    The issue is the value which is passed to parameter 'addr' in
    __get_srcline() is the objdump address. It's not correct if we calculate
    the offset by using 'addr - sym->start'.
    
    This patch creates a new parameter 'ip' in __get_srcline(). It is not
    converted to objdump address.
    
    With this patch, the perf report output is:
    
        22.77%  _vm_normal_page+66
                |
                ---page_remove_rmap +228
                   page_remove_rmap +391 (cycles:5)
                   unlock_page_memcg +0
                   page_remove_rmap +231 (cycles:1)
                   page_remove_rmap +236
    
    Committer testing:
    
    Make sure you get any valid vmlinux out of the way, using '-v' on the
    'perf report' case and deleting it from places where perf searches them,
    like your kernel build dir and the build-id cache, in ~/.debug/.
