perf symbols: Fix a memory leak due to symbol__delete not being used

2013-10-14T15:21:20Z

In function symbols__fixup_duplicate(), while duplicated symbols are found, only the rb_node is removed from the tree. The symbol structures themself are ignored. Then, these memory areas are lost.

perf buildid-cache: Add ability to add kcore to the cache

2013-10-14T15:20:38Z

kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However, kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory: ~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]// which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules. Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the kcore_copy() function for how that is determined. The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already one with the same modules at the same addresses. Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is addressed in another patch.

perf symbols: Add ability to find kcore in build-id cache

2013-10-14T13:29:25Z

When no vmlinux is found, tools will use kallsyms and, if possible, kcore. Add the ability to find kcore in the build-id cache.

perf symbols: Validate kcore module addresses

2013-10-14T13:28:58Z

Before using kcore we need to check that modules are in memory at the same addresses that they were when data was recorded. This is done because, while we could remap symbols to different addresses, the object code linkages would still be different which would provide an erroneous view of the object code.

perf symbols: Add new option --ignore-vmlinux for perf top

2013-10-09T14:42:20Z

Running "perf top" on a machine with possibly invalid or non-matching vmlinux at the various places results in no symbol resolving despite /proc/kallsyms being present and valid. Add a new option --ignore-vmlinux to explicitly indicate that we do not want to use these kernels and just use what we have (kallsyms).

perf symbols: Support for Openembedded/Yocto -dbg packages

2013-10-09T14:12:41Z

On OpenEmbedded the symbol files are located under a .debug folder on the same folder as the binary file. This patch adds support for such files. Without this patch on perf top you can see: no symbols found in /usr/lib/gstreamer-1.0/libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2, maybe install a debug package? 84.56% libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2 [.] 0x000000000000b346 With this patch symbols are shown: 19.06% libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2 [.] oc_int_frag_satd_thresh_mmxext 9.76% libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2 [.] oc_analyze_mb_mode_luma 5.58% libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2 [.] oc_qii_state_advance 4.84% libtheoraenc.so.1.1.2 [.] oc_enc_tokenize_ac ...

perf tools: Fix symbol offset computation for some dsos

2013-09-02T17:58:21Z

For some dsos (e.g., libc, libpthread, kernel modules) the symbol offset is huge. e.g., qemu-kvm 17238/17242 [007] 762235.640311: ffffffff816288a1 __schedule+0x451 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff81629609 schedule+0x29 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffffa00a6ded kvm_vcpu_block+0xffffffffa00a106d (/lib/modules/3.11.0-rc1+/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko) ffffffffa00bae6b kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+0xffffffffa00a118b (/lib/modules/3.11.0-rc1+/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko) ffffffffa00a4d7a kvm_vcpu_ioctl+0xffffffffa00a141a (/lib/modules/3.11.0-rc1+/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm.ko) ffffffff811a7bdb do_vfs_ioctl+0x8b ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff811a80c1 sys_ioctl+0x91 ([kernel.kallsyms]) ffffffff81633182 system_call+0x72 ([kernel.kallsyms]) 7f882a97af27 __GI___ioctl+0x7f882a891007 (/lib64/libc-2.14.90.so) 100000002 [unknown] ([unknown]) It seems to be maps with a non-0 start.

perf symbols: Add support for reading from /proc/kcore

2013-08-07T20:35:33Z

In the absence of vmlinux, perf tools uses kallsyms for symbols. If the user has access, now also map to /proc/kcore. The dso data_type is now set to either DSO_BINARY_TYPE__KCORE or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_KCORE as approprite. This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" test. That is fixed in a following patch.

perf tools: Make it possible to read object code from kernel modules

2013-08-07T20:35:32Z

The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible to read object code from kernel modules. That is because the mappings do not map to the dsos. This patch fixes that. This involves identifying and flagging relocatable (ELF type ET_REL) files (e.g. kernel modules) for symbol adjustment and updating map__rip_2objdump() accordingly. The kmodule parameter of dso__load_sym() is taken into use and the module map altered to map to the dso.
