The logic was not looking in the buildid cache for kcore if the host kernel buildid did not match the recorded kernel buildid. This affects the non-live case i.e. the kernel has changed and we are looking at a special copy of kcore that we placed in the buildid cache (using "perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore") when the data was recorded. After this fix kernel symbols get resolved/annotated correctly. Signed-off-by:

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:

Adrian Hunter authored
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:

In the absence of vmlinux, perf tools uses kallsyms for symbols. If the user has access, now also map to /proc/kcore. The dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__KCORE or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_KCORE as approprite. This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test. That is fixed in a following patch. Signed-off-by:

The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read object code from kernel modules. That is because the mappings do not map to the dsos. This patch fixes that. This involves identifying and flagging relocatable (ELF type ET_REL) files (e.g. kernel modules) for symbol adjustment and updating map__rip_2objdump() accordingly. The kmodule parameter of dso__load_sym() is taken into use and the module map altered to map to the dso. Signed-off-by:

The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read object code from vmlinux. That is because the mappings do not map to the dso. This patch fixes that. A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc" offset must be taken into account. As a result of that separate map functions for relocation are no longer needed. Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes sense and so is not done. The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_VMLINUX as approprite, which enables the correct file name to be determined by dso__binary_type_file().

If an user gives both of --symfs and --vmlinux option, the vmlinux will be searched under the symfs directory. This is somewhat confusing since vmlinux often lives in kernel build directory or somewhere other than user space binaries. So it'd be better not adding symfs prefix for a vmlinux if it has an absolute pathname. Reported-by:

Currently we have symbol_conf.exclude_other being set as true every time so the -x/--exclude-other has nothing to do. Also we have no way to see the data with symbol_conf.exclude_other being false which is useful sometimes. Fixing it by making symbol_conf.exclude_other false by default. 1) Example without -x option: $ perf report -i perf.data.delete -p perf_session__delete -s parent + 99.91% [other] + 0.08% perf_session__delete + 0.00% perf_session__delete_dead_threads + 0.00% perf_session__delete_threads 2) Example with -x option: $ ./perf report -i perf.data.delete -p perf_session__delete -s parent -x + 96.22% perf_session__delete + 1.89% perf_session__delete_dead_threads + 1.89% perf_session__delete_threads In Example 1) we get the sorted out data together with the rest "[other]". This could help us estimate how much time we spent in the sorted data. In Example 2) the total is just the sorted data. Signed-off-by:

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking unused variables. The variable __used is defined to __attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to __attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning: '__used__' attribute ignored __unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition. If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name in its headers. The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android. This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with __maybe_unused. Signed-off-by:

We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around and generate symbols by looking at both of these. This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time. Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and no dynsyms). Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored. This fixes 2 issues: - Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains function descriptors. - On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a dynsym section. Assumptions: - If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority image with a dynsym section. - This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section (ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image (which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols). The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images") adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to pass both runtime & debug images. Assumptions made here: - The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in both the runtime image and the debug/syms image. - The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image. Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections). Signed-off-by: -

Factors opening of certain sections & tracking certain elf info into an external structure. The goal here is to keep multiple elfs (and their looked up sections/indexes) around during the symbol generation process (in dso__load()). We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of function descriptors & the .opd section (ie: symbols which are functions don't point to their actual location, they point to their function descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location. It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for the existence of an important section wouldn't be as clean (and we need to keep the Elf stuff confined to symtab-elf.c).
