<title>perf record: Fix s390 missing module symbol and warning for non-root users</title>

<id>6738028dd57df064b969d8392c943ef3b3ae705d</id>
<content type='text'>
Command 'perf record' and 'perf report' on a system without kernel
debuginfo packages uses /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules to find
addresses for kernel and module symbols. On x86 this works for root and
non-root users.

On s390, when invoked as non-root user, many of the following warnings
are shown and module symbols are missing:

    proc/{kallsyms,modules} inconsistency while looking for
        "[sha1_s390]" module!

Command 'perf record' creates a list of module start addresses by
parsing the output of /proc/modules and creates a PERF_RECORD_MMAP
record for the kernel and each module. The following function call
sequence is executed:

  machine__create_kernel_maps
    machine__create_module
      modules__parse
        machine__create_module --&gt; for each line in /proc/modules
          arch__fix_module_text_start

Function arch__fix_module_text_start() is s390 specific. It opens
file /sys/module/&lt;name&gt;/sections/.text to extract the module's .text
section start address. On s390 the module loader prepends a header
before the first section, whereas on x86 the module's text section
address is identical the the module's load address.

However module section files are root readable only. For non-root the
read operation fails and machine__create_module() returns an error.
Command perf record does not generate any PERF_RECORD_MMAP record
for loaded modules. Later command perf report complains about missing
module maps.

To fix this function arch__fix_module_text_start() always returns
success. For root users there is no change, for non-root users
the module's load address is used as module's text start address
(the prepended header then counts as part of the text section).

This enable non-root users to use module symbols and avoid the
warning when perf report is executed.

  [tmricht@m83lp54 perf]$ ./perf report -D | fgrep MMAP
  0 0x168 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ... x [kernel.kallsyms]_text

Command 'perf record' and 'perf report' on a system without kernel
debuginfo packages uses /proc/kallsyms and /proc/modules to find
addresses for kernel and module symbols. On x86 this works for root and
non-root users.

On s390, when invoked as non-root user, many of the following warnings
are shown and module symbols are missing:

    proc/{kallsyms,modules} inconsistency while looking for
        "[sha1_s390]" module!

Command 'perf record' creates a list of module start addresses by
parsing the output of /proc/modules and creates a PERF_RECORD_MMAP
record for the kernel and each module. The following function call
sequence is executed:

  machine__create_kernel_maps
    machine__create_module
      modules__parse
        machine__create_module --&gt; for each line in /proc/modules
          arch__fix_module_text_start

Copy the headers changed by these csets:

  d8076bdb56af ("uapi: Wire up the mount API syscalls on non-x86 arches [ver #2]")
  9c8ad7a2ff0b ("uapi, x86: Fix the syscall numbering of the mount API syscalls [ver #2]")
  cf3cba4a429b ("vfs: syscall: Add fspick() to select a superblock for reconfiguration")
  93766fbd2696 ("vfs: syscall: Add fsmount() to create a mount for a superblock")
  ecdab150fddb ("vfs: syscall: Add fsconfig() for configuring and managing a context")
  24dcb3d90a1f ("vfs: syscall: Add fsopen() to prepare for superblock creation")
  2db154b3ea8e ("vfs: syscall: Add move_mount(2) to move mounts around")
  a07b20004793 ("vfs: syscall: Add open_tree(2) to reference or clone a mount")

We need to create tables for all the flags argument in the new syscalls,
in followup patches.

This silences these perf build warnings:
