perf machine: Fix the lifetime of the VDSO temporary file

2014-07-23T20:14:39+00:00

The VDSO temporary file is unlinked when a session is deleted.  That
precludes the possibilities that there is no session or there is more
than one session.

Correctly the vdso belongs to the machine so put the information on
'struct machine' and get rid of the global variables.

perf tools: Pass machine to vdso__dso_findnew()

2014-07-23T19:45:50+00:00

This is preparation for removing the global variables used in vdso.c and
thereby fixing the lifetime of the VDSO temporary file.

perf machine: Add ability to record the current tid for each cpu

2014-07-23T14:35:43+00:00

Add an array to struct machine to store the current tid running on each
cpu.

Add machine functions to get / set the tid for a cpu.

This will be used to determine the tid when decoding a per-cpu
Instruction Trace.

perf machine: Fix leak of 'struct thread' on error path

2014-07-17T13:34:07+00:00

__machine__findnew_thread() creates a 'struct thread' but does not free
it on the error path. Fix it.

perf machine: Fix map groups of threads with unknown pids

2014-07-17T13:31:02+00:00

Events like sched_switch do not provide a pid (tgid) which can result in
threads with an unknown pid.  If the pid is later discovered, join the
map groups.

Note the thread's map groups should be empty because they are populated
by MMAP events which do provide the pid and tid.

perf machine: Fix the value used for unknown pids

2014-07-16T20:57:33+00:00

The value used for unknown pids cannot be zero because that is used by
the "idle" task.

Use -1 instead.  Also handle the unknown pid case when creating map
groups.

Note that, threads with an unknown pid should not occur because fork (or
synthesized) events precede the thread's existence.

perf tools powerpc: Adjust callchain based on DWARF debug info

2014-06-27T09:14:51+00:00

When saving the callchain on Power, the kernel conservatively saves excess
entries in the callchain. A few of these entries are needed in some cases
but not others. We should use the DWARF debug information to determine
when the entries are  needed.

Eg: the value in the link register (LR) is needed only when it holds the
return address of a function. At other times it must be ignored.

If the unnecessary entries are not ignored, we end up with duplicate arcs
in the call-graphs.

Use the DWARF debug information to determine if any callchain entries
should be ignored when building call-graphs.

Callgraph before the patch:

TODO:	For split-debug info objects like glibc, we can only determine
	the call-frame-address only when both .eh_frame and .debug_info
	sections are available. We should be able to determin the CFA
	even without the .eh_frame section.

Fix suggested by Anton Blanchard.

Thanks to valuable input on DWARF debug information from Ulrich Weigand.

perf symbols: Get kernel start address by symbol name

2014-06-20T07:34:22+00:00

The function machine__get_kernel_start_addr() was taking the first symbol
of kallsyms as the start address. This is incorrect in certain cases
where the first symbol is something at 0, while the actual kernel
functions begin at a later point (e.g. 0x80200000).

This patch fixes machine__get_kernel_start_addr() to search for the
symbol "_text" or "_stext", which marks the beginning of kernel mapping.
This was already being done in machine__create_kernel_maps(). Thus, this
patch is just a refactor, to move that code into
machine__get_kernel_start_addr().
