2017-05-02perf symbols: Allow user probes on versioned symbolsPaul Clarke
Symbol versioning, as in glibc, results in symbols being defined as: <real symbol>@[@]<version> (Note that "@@" identifies a default symbol, if the symbol name is repeated.) perf is currently unable to deal with this, and is unable to create user probes at such symbols: -- $ nm /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 | grep pthread_create 0000000000008d30 t __pthread_create_2_1 0000000000008d30 T pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17 $ /usr/bin/sudo perf probe -v -x /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 pthread_create probe-definition(0): pthread_create symbol:pthread_create file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Open Debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

2017-03-27perf report: Introduce --inline optionJin Yao
It takes some time to look for inline stack for callgraph addresses. So it provides new option "--inline" to let user decide if enable this feature. --inline: If a callgraph address belongs to an inlined function, the inline stack will be printed. Each entry is the inline function name or file/line.

2017-03-27perf report: Find the inline stack for a given addressJin Yao
It would be useful for perf to support a mode to query the inline stack for a given callgraph address. This would simplify finding the right code in code that does a lot of inlining. The srcline.c has contained the code which supports to translate the address to filename:line_nr. This patch just extends the function to let it support getting the inline stacks. It introduces the inline_list which will store the inline function result (filename:line_nr and funcname). If BFD lib is not supported, the result is only filename:line_nr.

2017-03-21perf sdt: Add scanning of sdt probes argumentsAlexis Berlemont
During a "perf buildid-cache --add" command, the section ".note.stapsdt" of the "added" binary is scanned in order to list the available SDT markers available in a binary. The parts containing the probes arguments were left unscanned. The whole section is now parsed; the probe arguments are extracted for later use.

This patch serves the initial support to identify and list SDT events in binaries. When programs containing SDT markers are compiled, gcc with the help of assembler directives identifies them and places them in the section ".note.stapsdt". To find these markers from the binaries, one needs to traverse through this section and parse the relevant details like the name, type and location of the marker. Also, the original location could be skewed due to the effect of prelinking. If that is the case, the locations need to be adjusted. The functions in this patch open a given ELF, find out the SDT section, parse the relevant details, adjust the location (if necessary) and populate them in a list. A typical note entry in ".note.stapsdt" section is as follows : |--nhdr.n_namesz--| ------------------------------------ | nhdr | "stapsdt" | ----- |----------------------------------| | | <location> <base_address> | | | <semaphore> | nhdr.n_descsize | "provider_name" "note_name" | | | <args> | ----- |----------------------------------| | nhdr | "stapsdt" | |... The above shows an excerpt from the section ".note.stapsdt". 'nhdr' is a structure which has the note name size (n_namesz), note description size (n_desc_sz) and note type (n_type). So, in order to parse the note note info, we need nhdr to tell us where to start from. As can be seen from <sys/sdt.h>, the name of the SDT notes given is "stapsdt". But this is not the identifier of the note. After that, we go to description of the note to find out its location, the address of the ".stapsdt.base" section and the semaphore address. Then, we find the provider name and the SDT marker name and then follow the arguments.

2016-05-11perf symbols: Add dso__insert_symbol functionChris Phlipot
The current method for inserting symbols is to use the symbols__insert() function. However symbols__insert() does not update the dso symbol cache. This causes problems in the following scenario: 1. symbol not found at addr using dso__find_symbol 2. symbol inserted at addr using the existing symbols__insert function 3. symbol still not found at addr using dso__find_symbol() because cache isn't updated. This is undesired behavior. The undesired behavior in (3) is addressed by creating a new function, dso__insert_symbol() to both insert the symbol and update the symbol cache if necessary. If dso__insert_symbol() is used in (2) instead of symbols__insert(), then the undesired behavior in (3) is avoided.

2016-05-05perf symbols: Fix kallsyms perf test on ppc64leNaveen N. Rao
ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not match the symbols in kallsyms. To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load. Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe trace point.

2015-03-12perf symbols: Allow symbol alias when loading map for symbol nameNamhyung Kim
When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso. When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one symbol at given address. But for finding address from symbol, it'd be better to keep all names (including aliases). So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via symbol_conf.allow_aliases.

2014-12-01perf callchain: Support handling complete branch stacks as histogramsAndi Kleen
Currently branch stacks can be only shown as edge histograms for individual branches. I never found this display particularly useful. This implements an alternative mode that creates histograms over complete branch traces, instead of individual branches, similar to how normal callgraphs are handled. This is done by putting it in front of the normal callgraph and then using the normal callgraph histogram infrastructure to unify them. This way in complex functions we can understand the control flow that lead to a particular sample, and may even see some control flow in the caller for short functions. Example (simplified, of course for such simple code this is usually not needed), please run this after the whole patchkit is in, as at this point in the patch order there is no --branch-history, that will be added in a patch after this one: tcall.c: volatile a = 10000, b = 100000, c; __attribute__((noinline)) f2() { c = a / b; } __attribute__((noinline)) f1() { f2(); f2(); } main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) f1(); } % perf record -b -g ./tsrc/tcall [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.044 MB perf.data (~1923 samples) ] % perf report --no-children --branch-history ... 54.91% tcall.c:6 [.] f2 tcall | |--65.53%-- f2 tcall.c:5 | | | |--70.83%-- f1 tcall.c:11 | | f1 tcall.c:10 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:18 | | main tcall.c:17 | | main tcall.c:17 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f1 tcall.c:13 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f1 tcall.c:12 | | f2 tcall.c:7 | | f2 tcall.c:5 | | f1 tcall.c:11 | | | --29.17%-- f1 tcall.c:12 | f1 tcall.c:12 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:11 | f1 tcall.c:10 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:18 | main tcall.c:17 | main tcall.c:17 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f1 tcall.c:13 | f2 tcall.c:7 | f2 tcall.c:5 | f1 tcall.c:12 The default output is unchanged. This is only implemented in perf report, no change to record or anywhere else. This adds the basic code to report: - add a new "branch" option to the -g option parser to enable this mode - when the flag is set include the LBR into the callstack in machine.c. The rest of the history code is unchanged and doesn't know the difference between LBR entry and normal call entry. - detect overlaps with the callchain - remove small loop duplicates in the LBR Current limitations: - The LBR flags (mispredict etc.) are not shown in the history and LBR entries have no special marker. - It would be nice if annotate marked the LBR entries somehow (e.g. with arrows) v2: Various fixes. v3: Merge further patches into this one. Fix white space. v4: Improve manpage. Address review feedback. v5: Rename functions. Better error message without -g. Fix crash without -b. v6: Rebase v7: Rebase. Use NO_ENTRY in memset. v8: Port to latest tip. Move add_callchain_ip to separate patch. Skip initial entries in callchain. Minor cleanups.

2014-11-24perf symbols: Move bfd_demangle stubbing to its only userArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
We need to define bfd_demangle() to either a wrapper for cplus_demangle() or to a stub when NO_DEMANGLE is defined. That is at odds with using bfd.h for some other reason, as it defines bfd_demangle() and then if code that wants to use symbol.h, where the above stubbing/wrapping is done, and bfd.h for other reasons, we end up with a build error where bfd_demangle() is found to be redefined. Avoid that by moving the stubbing/wrapping to symbol-elf.c, that is the only user of such function. If we ever get to a point where there are more valid users, we can then introduce a header for that.

2014-11-05perf record: Do not save pathname in ./debug/.build-id directory for vmlinuxNamhyung Kim
When perf record finishes a session, it pre-processes samples in order to write build-id info from DSOs that had samples. During this process it'll call map__load() for the kernel map, and it ends up calling dso__load_vmlinux_path() which replaces dso->long_name. But this function checks kernel's build-id before searching vmlinux path so it'll end up with a cryptic name, the pathname for the entry in the ~/.debug cache, which can be confusing to users. This patch adds a flag to skip the build-id check during record, so that it'll have the original vmlinux path for the kernel dso->long_name, not the entry in the ~/.debug cache.

2014-08-13perf tools: Check recorded kernel version when finding vmlinuxNamhyung Kim
Currently vmlinux_path__init() only tries to find vmlinux file from current directory, /boot and some canonical directories with version number of the running kernel. This can be a problem when reporting old data recorded on a kernel version not running currently. We can use --symfs option for this but it's annoying for user to do it always. As we already have the info in the perf.data file, it can be changed to use it for the search automatically.
