<title>perf dso: Add reference count checking and accessor functions</title>

<id>ee756ef7491eafd70f390343a1d90930af125a51</id>
<content type='text'>
Add reference count checking to struct dso, this can help with
implementing correct reference counting discipline. To avoid
RC_CHK_ACCESS everywhere, add accessor functions for the variables in
struct dso.

The majority of the change is mechanical in nature and not easy to
split up.

Committer testing:

'perf test' up to this patch shows no regressions.

But:

  util/symbol.c: In function ‘dso__load_bfd_symbols’:
  util/symbol.c:1683:9: error: too few arguments to function ‘dso__set_adjust_symbols’
   1683 |         dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);

  In file included from util/symbol.c:21:

  make[6]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This was updated:

  -       symbols__fixup_end(&amp;dso-&gt;symbols, false);
  -       symbols__fixup_duplicate(&amp;dso-&gt;symbols);
  -       dso-&gt;adjust_symbols = 1;
  +       symbols__fixup_end(dso__symbols(dso), false);
  +       symbols__fixup_duplicate(dso__symbols(dso));
  +       dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);

But not build tested with BUILD_NONDISTRO and libbfd devel files installed
(binutils-devel on fedora).

Add the missing argument:

   	symbols__fixup_end(dso__symbols(dso), false);
   	symbols__fixup_duplicate(dso__symbols(dso));
  -	dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);

Move more functionality into dsos.c generally from machine.c, renaming
functions to match their new usage.

The find function is made to always "get" before returning a dso.

Reduce the scope of locks in vdso to match the locking paradigm.

Sometimes we want to convert an address in objdump output to
map-relative address to match with a sample data.  Let's add
map__objdump_2rip() for that.

<title>perf maps: Switch from rbtree to lazily sorted array for addresses</title>
<updated>2024-02-12T20:35:14+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=659ad3492b913c9033d47cb406ac5754780875b6'/>
<id>659ad3492b913c9033d47cb406ac5754780875b6</id>
<content type='text'>
Maps is a collection of maps primarily sorted by the starting address
of the map. Prior to this change the maps were held in an rbtree
requiring 4 pointers per node. Prior to reference count checking, the
rbnode was embedded in the map so 3 pointers per node were
necessary. This change switches the rbtree to an array lazily sorted
by address, much as the array sorting nodes by name. 1 pointer is
needed per node, but to avoid excessive resizing the backing array may
be twice the number of used elements. Meaning the memory overhead is
roughly half that of the rbtree. For a perf record with
"--no-bpf-event -g -a" of true, the memory overhead of perf inject is
reduce fom 3.3MB to 3MB, so 10% or 300KB is saved.

Map inserts always happen at the end of the array. The code tracks
whether the insertion violates the sorting property. O(log n) rb-tree
complexity is switched to O(1).

Remove slides the array, so O(log n) rb-tree complexity is degraded to
O(n).

A find may need to sort the array using qsort which is O(n*log n), but
in general the maps should be sorted and so average performance should
be O(log n) as with the rbtree.

An rbtree node consumes a cache line, but with the array 4 nodes fit
on a cache line. Iteration is simplified to scanning an array rather
than pointer chasing.

Overall it is expected the performance after the change should be
comparable to before, but with half of the memory consumed.

To avoid a list and repeated logic around splitting maps,
maps__merge_in is rewritten in terms of
maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert. maps_merge_in splits the given mapping
inserting remaining gaps. maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert splits the
existing mappings, then adds the incoming mapping. By adding the new
mapping first, then re-inserting the existing mappings the splitting
behavior matches.

Maps is a collection of maps primarily sorted by the starting address
of the map. Prior to this change the maps were held in an rbtree
requiring 4 pointers per node. Prior to reference count checking, the
rbnode was embedded in the map so 3 pointers per node were
necessary. This change switches the rbtree to an array lazily sorted
by address, much as the array sorting nodes by name. 1 pointer is
needed per node, but to avoid excessive resizing the backing array may
be twice the number of used elements. Meaning the memory overhead is
roughly half that of the rbtree. For a perf record with
"--no-bpf-event -g -a" of true, the memory overhead of perf inject is
reduce fom 3.3MB to 3MB, so 10% or 300KB is saved.

Map inserts always happen at the end of the array. The code tracks
whether the insertion violates the sorting property. O(log n) rb-tree
complexity is switched to O(1).

Remove slides the array, so O(log n) rb-tree complexity is degraded to
O(n).

A find may need to sort the array using qsort which is O(n*log n), but
in general the maps should be sorted and so average performance should
be O(log n) as with the rbtree.

An rbtree node consumes a cache line, but with the array 4 nodes fit
on a cache line. Iteration is simplified to scanning an array rather
than pointer chasing.

Overall it is expected the performance after the change should be
comparable to before, but with half of the memory consumed.

To avoid a list and repeated logic around splitting maps,
maps__merge_in is rewritten in terms of
maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert. maps_merge_in splits the given mapping
inserting remaining gaps. maps__fixup_overlap_and_insert splits the
existing mappings, then adds the incoming mapping. By adding the new
mapping first, then re-inserting the existing mappings the splitting
behavior matches.

When it converts sample IP to or from objdump-capable one, there's a
comment saying that kernel modules have DSO_SPACE__USER.  But commit
02213cec64bb ("perf maps: Mark module DSOs with kernel type") changed
it and makes the comment confusing.  Let's get rid of it.

<title>perf map: Simplify map_ip/unmap_ip and make 'struct map' smaller</title>

When mapping an IP it is either an identity mapping or a DSO relative
mapping, so a single bit is required in the struct to identify
this.

The current code uses function pointers, adding 2 pointers per map and
also pushing the size of a map beyond 1 cache line.

Switch to using a byte to identify the mapping type (as well as priv and
erange_warned), to avoid any masking.

Change struct maps's layout to avoid holes.

Before:
```
struct map {
        u64                        start;                /*     0     8 */
        u64                        end;                  /*     8     8 */
        _Bool                      erange_warned:1;      /*    16: 0  1 */
        _Bool                      priv:1;               /*    16: 1  1 */

        /* XXX 6 bits hole, try to pack */
        /* XXX 3 bytes hole, try to pack */

        u32                        prot;                 /*    20     4 */
        u64                        pgoff;                /*    24     8 */
        u64                        reloc;                /*    32     8 */
        u64                        (*map_ip)(const struct map  *, u64); /*    40     8 */
        u64                        (*unmap_ip)(const struct map  *, u64); /*    48     8 */
        struct dso *               dso;                  /*    56     8 */
        /* --- cacheline 1 boundary (64 bytes) --- */
        refcount_t                 refcnt;               /*    64     4 */

        /* size: 72, cachelines: 2, members: 12 */
        /* sum members: 68, holes: 1, sum holes: 3 */
        /* sum bitfield members: 2 bits, bit holes: 1, sum bit holes: 6 bits */
        /* last cacheline: 8 bytes */
};
```

After:
```

<title>perf symbol: Remove symbol_name_rb_node</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=259dce914e93482a0e25a6ddef88f5b6d85df9bd'/>
<id>259dce914e93482a0e25a6ddef88f5b6d85df9bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Most perf commands want to sort symbols by name and this is done via
an invasive rbtree that on 64-bit systems costs 24 bytes. Sorting the
symbols in a DSO by name is optional and not done by default, however,
if sorting is requested the 24 bytes is allocated for every
symbol.

This change removes the rbtree and uses a sorted array of symbol
pointers instead (costing 8 bytes per symbol). As the array is created
on demand then there are further memory savings. The complexity of
sorting the array and using the rbtree are the same.

To support going to the next symbol, the index of the current symbol
needs to be passed around as a pair with the current symbol. This
requires some API changes.

[ minimize change in symbols__sort_by_name() ]

Most perf commands want to sort symbols by name and this is done via
an invasive rbtree that on 64-bit systems costs 24 bytes. Sorting the
symbols in a DSO by name is optional and not done by default, however,
if sorting is requested the 24 bytes is allocated for every
symbol.

This change removes the rbtree and uses a sorted array of symbol
pointers instead (costing 8 bytes per symbol). As the array is created
on demand then there are further memory savings. The complexity of
sorting the array and using the rbtree are the same.

To support going to the next symbol, the index of the current symbol
needs to be passed around as a pair with the current symbol. This
requires some API changes.

<title>perf srcline: Optimize comparision against SRCLINE_UNKNOWN</title>

This is a string constant that gets returned and then strcmp() around,
we can instead just do a pointer comparision.

That requires a new global variable to comply with these warnings from
some versions of clang and gcc:

  41    68.95 fedora:rawhide                : FAIL clang version 16.0.4 (Fedora 16.0.4-1.fc39)
    result of comparison against a string literal is unspecified (use an explicit string comparison function instead) [-Werror,-Wstring-compare]
            if (start_line != SRCLINE_UNKNOWN &amp;&amp;
                           ^  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  41

Ack comments:

Agreed, the strcmps make me nervous as they won't distinguish heap from
a global meaning we could end up with things like pointers to freed
memory. The comparison with the global is always going to be same imo.
