perf buildid-cache: Check relocation when checking for existing kcore

2014-01-31T20:21:54+00:00

perf buildid-cache does not make another copy of kcore if the buildid
and modules match an existing copy.

That does not take into account the possibility that the kernel has been
relocated.

Extend the check to check if the reference relocation symbol matches
too, otherwise do make a copy.

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 tests: No need to set up ref_reloc_sym

2014-01-31T20:21:52+00:00

Now that ref_reloc_sym is set up by machine__create_kernel_maps(), the
"vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test does have to do it.

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 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.
