perf util: Make util its own library

2024-06-26T18:07:42+00:00

Make the util directory into its own library. This is done to avoid
compiling code twice, once for the perf tool and once for the perf
python module. For convenience:
  arch/common.c
  scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c
  scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c
are made part of this library.

perf mem-info: Move mem-info out of mem-events and symbol

2024-05-07T21:06:44+00:00

Move mem-info to its own header rather than having it split between
mem-events and symbol.

perf annotate: Split out util/disasm.c

2024-04-03T14:48:57+00:00

The util/annotate.c code has both disassembly and sample annotation
related codes.  Factor out the disasm part so that it can be handled
more easily.

No functional changes intended.

Committer notes:

Add missing include env.h, util.h, bpf-event.h and bpf-util.h to
disasm.c, to fix things like:

  util/disasm.c: In function ‘symbol__disassemble_bpf’:
  util/disasm.c:1203:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘perf_exe’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
   1203 |         perf_exe(tpath, sizeof(tpath));
        |         ^~~~~~~~

perf: util: use capstone disasm engine to show assembly instructions

2024-02-21T02:06:48+00:00

Currently, the instructions of samples are shown as raw hex strings
which are hard to read. x86 has a special option '--xed' to disassemble
the hex string via intel XED tool.

Here we use capstone as our disassembler engine to give more friendly
instructions. We select libcapstone because capstone can provide more
insn details. Perf will fallback to raw instructions if libcapstone is
not available.

The advantages compared to XED tool:
 * Support arm, arm64, x86-32, x86_64 (more could be supported),
   xed only for x86_64.
 * Immediate address operands are shown as symbol+offs.

perf annotate-data: Add find_data_type() to get type from memory access

2023-12-24T01:39:18+00:00

The find_data_type() is to get a data type from the memory access at the
given address (IP) using a register and an offset.

It requires DWARF debug info in the DSO and searches the list of
variables and function parameters in the scope.

In a pseudo code, it does basically the following:

  find_data_type(dso, ip, reg, offset)
  {
      pc = map__rip_2objdump(ip);
      CU = dwarf_addrdie(dso->dwarf, pc);
      scopes = die_get_scopes(CU, pc);
      for_each_scope(S, scopes) {
          V = die_find_variable_by_reg(S, pc, reg);
          if (V && V.type == pointer_type) {
              T = die_get_real_type(V);
              if (offset < T.size)
                  return T;
          }
      }
      return NULL;
  }

Committer notes:

The 'size' variable in check_variable() is 64-bit, so use PRIu64 and
inttypes.h to debug it.

Ditto at find_data_type_die().

perf build: Ensure sysreg-defs Makefile respects output dir

2023-11-22T19:17:53+00:00

Currently the sysreg-defs are written out to the source tree
unconditionally, ignoring the specified output directory. Correct the
build rule to emit the header to the output directory. Opportunistically
reorganize the rules to avoid interleaving with the set of beauty make
rules.
