Subject: perf: problem of 32bit mmap call graph recording
Date: Wed, 17 Aug 2011 16:20:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1313569203.4115.149.camel@minggr.sh.intel.com> (raw)
Hi all,
On 32 bit machine, we have problem to get the usersapce call graph of
mmap syscall.
You can reproduce it with below command on 32bit machine.
sudo perf record -f -g -e raw_syscalls:sys_enter --filter "id==192" ls
sudo perf report |less
# Events: 26
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ......
#
100.00% ls [kernel.kallsyms] [k] syscall_trace_enter
|
--- syscall_trace_enter
syscall_trace_entry
|
|--88.46%-- __mmap <--- only __mmap, no more userspace call stacks
|
--11.54%-- 0xffffe424
Kernel relies on userspace bp register to get call graph information.
But for mmap syscall, the bp register is used to pass in the sixth
parameter(offset).
void *mmap(void *addr, size_t length, int prot, int flags,
int fd, off_t offset);
Anyway to fix this issue on 32bit machine?
Thanks,
Lin Ming
