perf tools: Adjust kallsyms for relocated kernel

2014-01-31T20:21:53+00:00

If the kernel is relocated at boot time, kallsyms will not match data
recorded previously.

That does not matter for modules because they are corrected anyway.  It
also does not matter if vmlinux is being used for symbols. But if perf
tools has only kallsyms then the symbols will not match.

Fix by applying the delta gained by comparing the old and current
addresses of the relocation reference symbol.

perf symbols: Prevent the use of kcore if the kernel has moved

2014-01-31T20:21:51+00:00

Use of kcore is predicated upon it matching the recorded data.  If the
kernel has been relocated at boot time (i.e. since the data was
recorded) then do not use kcore.

Note that it is possible to make a copy of kcore at the time the data is
recorded using 'perf buildid-cache'.  Then the perf tools will use the
copy because it does match the data.

perf record: Get ref_reloc_sym from kernel map

2014-01-31T20:21:50+00:00

Now that ref_reloc_sym is set up when the kernel map is created,
'perf record' does not need to pass the symbol names to
perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() which can read the values needed
from ref_reloc_sym directly.

perf machine: Set up ref_reloc_sym in machine__create_kernel_maps()

2014-01-31T20:21:49+00:00

The ref_reloc_sym is always needed for the kernel map in order to check
for relocation.  Consequently set it up when the kernel map is created.
Otherwise it was only being set up by 'perf record'.

perf machine: Add machine__get_kallsyms_filename()

2014-01-31T20:21:48+00:00

Separate out the logic used to make the kallsyms full path name for a
machine.  It will be reused in a subsequent patch.

perf symbols: Fix symbol annotation for relocated kernel

2014-01-31T20:21:47+00:00

Kernel maps map memory addresses to file offsets.

For symbol annotation, objdump needs the object VMA addresses.  For an
unrelocated kernel, that is the same as the memory address.

The addresses passed to objdump for symbol annotation did not take into
account kernel relocation.

This patch fixes that.

perf tools: Fix include for non x86 architectures

2014-01-31T20:21:42+00:00

Commit 71ae8aac ("lib: introduce arch optimized hash library") added an
include to  for setting up an architecture specific fast
hash.

Since perf includes directly the non-uapi kernel header, it cannot find
 on non-x86 and thus prevents perf to be compiled on every
architecture other than x86.

The problem is the inclusion of  in hash.h that results in
the following error originating from util/evlist.c:

  fatal error: asm/hash.h: No such file or directory

This commit simply adds an empty  stub/file to fix the
compile issue on non-x86 architectures.

As perf does not use any of these new functions, it fixes the
compilation and therefore seems to be the most appropriate solution to
go with.

perf tools: Demangle kernel and kernel module symbols too

2014-01-27T14:47:27+00:00

Some kernels contain C++ code, and thus their symbols need to be
demangled.  This allows 'perf kvm top' to generate readable output.

perf symbols: Load map before using map->map_ip()

2014-01-23T18:48:12+00:00

In map_groups__find_symbol() map->map_ip is used without ensuring the
map is loaded. Then the address passed to map->map_ip isn't mapped at
the first time.

E.g. below code always fails to get a symbol at the first call;

	addr = /* Somewhere in the kernel text */
	symbol_conf.try_vmlinux_path = true;
	symbol__init();
	host_machine = machine__new_host();
	sym = machine__find_kernel_function(host_machine,
					 addr, NULL, NULL);
	/* Note that machine__find_kernel_function calls
	   map_groups__find_symbol */

This ensures it by calling map__load before using it in
map_groups__find_symbol().
