perf machine: Synthesize and process mmap events for x86 PTI entry trampolines

2018-05-23T13:26:39+00:00

Like the kernel text, the location of x86 PTI entry trampolines must be
recorded in the perf.data file. Like the kernel, synthesize a mmap event
for that, and add processing for it.

perf machine: Allow for extra kernel maps

2018-05-22T13:59:22+00:00

Identify extra kernel maps by name so that they can be distinguished
from the kernel map and module maps.

perf symbols: Unify symbol maps

2018-04-27T13:47:06+00:00

Remove the split of symbol tables for data (MAP__VARIABLE) and for
functions (MAP__FUNCTION), its unneeded and there were various places
doing two lookups to find a symbol, so simplify this.

We still will consider only the symbols that matched the filters in
place, i.e. see the (elf_(sec,sym)|symbol_type)__filter() routines in
the patch, just so that we consider only the same symbols as before,
to reduce the possibility of regressions.

All the tests on 50-something build environments, in varios versions
of lots of distros and cross build environments were performed without
build regressions, as usual with all pull requests the other tests were
also performed: 'perf test' and 'make -C tools/perf build-test'.

Also this was done at a great granularity so that regressions can be
bisected more easily.

perf thread: Make thread__find_map() search all maps

2018-04-26T16:47:17+00:00

We still have the split internally, but users don't see it anymore,
simplifying the growing number of cases where we end up searching
in the MAP__VARIABLE maps.

This further paves the way for ditching the split.

perf thread: Ditch threadfind_symbol()

2018-04-26T16:47:17+00:00

Simulate having all symbols in just one tree by searching the still
existing two trees.

perf tools: Use kallsyms__is_function()

2018-04-26T16:47:14+00:00

	 symbol__is_a(type, MAP__FUNCTION);

perf machine: Introduce machine__kernel_maps()

2018-04-26T16:47:10+00:00

That returns the a data structure contained the ordered list of kernel
modules + the main kernel maps, one more step in removing the
MAP__{FUNCTION,VARIABLE} split.

perf thread: Make thread__find_symbol() return the symbol searched

2018-04-26T16:47:09+00:00

Instead of just returning it in al.sym, allowing for some simplification
in its users, and to make it consistent with thread__find_map().

perf thread: Make thread__find_map() return the map

2018-04-26T16:47:08+00:00

It was returning the searched map just on the addr_location passed, with
the function itself returning void.

Make it return the map so that we can make the code more compact.
