Subject: perf report does not resolve symbols on s390x
Date: Wed, 5 Jul 2017 16:45:49 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <eb00bf70-936d-e405-5867-015d4067202f@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

I use linux 4.12 kernel and the perf report --stdio does not resolve all symbols:
Only very few symbols are resolved and none listed in the call back chain.

Here is an example:

    50.00%    50.00%  true     [kernel.vmlinux]  [k] __rb_insert_augmented
            |
            ---0x6a0624
               0x2d7c00
               0x2d79c8
               0x2b5a26
               0x2da542
               0x2da01a
               0x2d6c2e
               0x2d6b86

    50.00%     0.00%  true     [unknown]         [k] 0x000000000011e90a
            |
            ---0x11e90a
               0x2d39a4
               0x2d3238
               0x288140
               0x2cf404
               0x2df5d8
               0x31618c
               0x19b0ae

These addresses are all in the /proc/kallsyms and valid.

When I do a perf script it works:
[root@s8360046 perf]# perf script
true  4384  7991.047063:     250000 cpu-clock: 
                  19c0ae lock_acquire (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)
                  31718c lock_page_memcg (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)
                  2e05d8 page_add_file_rmap (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)
                  2d0404 alloc_set_pte (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)
                  289140 filemap_map_pages (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)
                  2d4238 __handle_mm_fault (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)
                  2d49a4 handle_mm_fault (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)
                  11f90a do_dat_exception (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)
                  6a1962 pgm_check_handler (/lib/modules/4.12.0perf+/build/vmlinux)


Any ideas in which area of the perf report tool to dig into to get this fixed.

When I use -vvvvv I see all kernel symbols read in and listed, so I fail to see
why they are not resolved.
Maybe someone can point me to the area of code to start digging.

Thanks a lot.
