perf tests x86: Fix stack map lookup in dwarf unwind test

2014-04-30T15:02:31Z

Previous commit 'perf x86: Fix perf to use non-executable stack, again' moved stack map into MAP__VARIABLE map type again. Fixing the dwarf unwind test stack map lookup appropriately.

perf x86: Fix perf to use non-executable stack, again

2014-04-30T15:02:30Z

arch/x86/tests/regs_load.S is missing the linker note about the stack requirements, therefore making the linker fall back to an executable stack. As this object gets linked against the final perf binary, it'll needlessly end up with an executable stack. Fix this by adding the appropriate linker note. Also add a global linker flag to prevent future regressions, as suggested by Jiri. This way perf won't get an executable stack even if we fail to add the .GNU-stack linker note to future assembler files. Though, doing so might create regressions the other way around, when (statically) linking against libraries needing an executable stack. But, apparently, regressing in that direction is wanted as it is an indicator of poor code quality -- or just missing linker notes.

perf tools: Allocate thread map_groups's dynamically

2014-04-28T11:43:20Z

Moving towards sharing map groups within a process threads. Because of this we need the map groups to be dynamically allocated. No other functional change is intended in here. Based on a patch by Jiri Olsa, but this time _just_ making the conversion from statically allocating thread->mg to turning it into a pointer and instead of initializing it at thread's constructor, introduce a constructor/destructor for the map_groups class and call at thread creation time. Later we will introduce the get/put methods when we move to sharing those map_groups, when the get/put refcounting semantics will be needed.

perf tools: Setup default dwarf post unwinder

2014-02-24T12:29:36Z

Factor NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND makefile variable and code that selects default DWARf post unwinder based on detected features (libdw and libunwind support) If both are detected the libunwind is selected as default. Simple 'make' will try to add: - libunwind unwinder if present - libdw unwinder if present - disable dwarf unwind if non of libunwind and libdw libraries are present If one of the DWARF unwind libraries is detected, message is displayed which one (libunwind/libdw) is compiled in. Examples: - compile in libdw unwinder if present: $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1 - compile in libdw (with libdw installation directory) unwinder if present: $ make LIBDW_DIR=/opt/elfutils/ NO_LIBUNWIND=1 BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build Auto-detecting system features: ... dwarf: [ on ] ... glibc: [ on ] ... gtk2: [ on ] ... libaudit: [ on ] ... libbfd: [ on ] ... libelf: [ on ] ... libnuma: [ on ] ... libperl: [ on ] ... libpython: [ on ] ... libslang: [ on ] ... libunwind: [ on ] ... libdw-dwarf-unwind: [ on ] ...

perf tools: Add libdw DWARF post unwind support

2014-02-24T12:29:36Z

Adding libdw DWARF post unwind support, which is part of elfutils-devel/libdw-dev package from version 0.158. The new code is contained in unwin-libdw.c object, and implements unwind__get_entries unwind interface function. New Makefile variable NO_LIBDW_DWARF_UNWIND was added to control its compilation, and is marked as disabled now. It's factored with the rest of the Makefile unwind build code in the next patch. Arch specific code was added for x86.
