kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However, kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory: ~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh> which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules. Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the kcore_copy() function for how that is determined. The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already one with the same modules at the same addresses. Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is addressed in another patch. Signed-off-by:

Arnaldo reported that 'make DEBUG=1' does not work anymore. The reason is that 'Makefile' only passes it through to 'Makefile.perf' via the environment, but 'Makefile.perf' checks that it's a command line option: ifeq ("$(origin DEBUG)", "command line") PERF_DEBUG = $(DEBUG) endif So pass it through properly, and also clean up DEBUG parameter handling while at it and fix a couple of annoyances: - DEBUG=0 used to be interpreted as 'debugging on'. Turn it into 'debugging off' instead. - Same was the case for 'DEBUG=' - turn that into debug-off as well. - Pass in just a clean, sanitized 'DEBUG' value and get rid of the intermediate, unnecessary PERF_DEBUG variable.

The objdump tool fails to annotate module symbols when looking at kcore. Workaround this by extracting object code from kcore and putting it in a temporary file for objdump to use instead. The temporary file is created to look like kcore but contains only the function being disassembled. Signed-off-by:

Before using kcore we need to check that modules are in memory at the same addresses that they were when data was recorded. This is done because, while we could remap symbols to different addresses, the object code linkages would still be different which would provide an erroneous view of the object code. Signed-off-by:

Currently, execution of 'perf trace' reports the following cryptic message to the user: $ perf trace Couldn't read the raw_syscalls tracepoints information! Typically this happens because the user does not have permissions to read the debugfs filesystem. Also handle the case when the kernel was not compiled with debugfs support or when it isn't mounted. Now, the tool prints detailed error messages: $ perf trace Error: Unable to find debugfs Hint: Was your kernel was compiled with debugfs support? Hint: Is the debugfs filesystem mounted? Hint: Try 'sudo mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug' $ perf trace Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug//tracing/events/raw_syscalls Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/' Signed-off-by:

The perf_evlist__mmap_read used 'union perf_event' as a placeholder for event crossing the mmap boundary. This is ok for sample shorter than ~PATH_MAX. However we could grow up to the maximum sample size which is 16 bits max. I hit this overflow issue when using 'perf top -G dwarf' which produces sample with the size around 8192 bytes. We could configure any valid sample size here using: '-G dwarf,size'. Using array with sample max size instead for the event placeholder. Also adding another safe check for the dynamic size of the user stack. TODO: The 'struct perf_mmap' is quite big now, maybe we could use some lazy allocation for event_copy size. Signed-off-by:
