[PATCH 0/9] perf tools: add support for reading object code

[Adrian Hunter]

Hi

Here are some patches that add support for reading object code from vmlinux,
kernel modules and /proc/kcore.


Adrian Hunter (9):
      perf tools: add test for reading object code
      perf tools: load kernel maps before using
      perf tools: make it possible to read object code from vmlinux
      perf tools: adjust the vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms test
      perf tools: avoid SyS kernel syscall aliases
      perf tools: make it possible to read object code from kernel modules
      perf tools: add support for reading from /proc/kcore
      perf tools: add kcore to the object code reading test
      perf tools: allow annotation using /proc/kcore

[PATCH 1/9] perf tools: add test for reading object code

[Adrian Hunter]

Using the information in mmap events, perf tools can read object
code associated with sampled addresses.  A test is added that
compares bytes read by perf with the same bytes read using
objdump.

It seems this function always returns 0..

so no need to check the return value.

Is it intended to use the freq of 40000 instead of 4000 (default)?

It seems the evlist is leaked.  perf_evlist__delete(evlist) is needed.

Yes.  The "workload" is small so a higher sampling rate is preferable.

But preferably one that is less than:

[root@zoo ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
25000
[root@zoo ~]#

That is the reason why this test is failing on this Ivy Bridge notebook:

[root@zoo ~]# dmesg | grep perf_event_max_sample_rate
[ 4068.969761] perf samples too long (2552 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
[ 4069.842176] perf samples too long (5039 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000
[root@zoo ~]# 

Look at kernel/events/core.c.

So keeping it at 4k may not be a bad idea, or at least have code that reads
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate if using the highest freq is
desired.

I dropped it to 4k in V3.

[PATCH 2/9] perf tools: load kernel maps before using

[Adrian Hunter]

In order to use kernel maps to read object code, those
maps must be adjusted to map to the dso file offset.
Because lazy-initialzation is used, that is not done
until symbols are loaded.  However the maps are first
used by thread__find_addr_map() before symbols are loaded.
So this patch changes thread__find_addr() to "load" kernel
maps before using them.

[PATCH 3/9] perf tools: make it possible to read object code from vmlinux

[Adrian Hunter]

The new "object code reading" test shows that it is not possible
to read object code from vmlinux.  That is because the mappings
do not map to the dso.  This patch fixes that.

A side-effect of changing the kernel map is that the "reloc"
offset must be taken into account.  As a result of that
separate map functions for relocation are no longer needed.

Also fixing up the maps to match the symbols no longer makes
sense and so is not done.

The vmlinux dso data_type is now set to either
DSO_BINARY_TYPE__VMLINUX or DSO_BINARY_TYPE__GUEST_VMLINUX
as approprite, which enables the correct file name to
be determined by dso__binary_type_file().

This patch breaks the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms"
test.  That is fixed in a following patch.

[PATCH 4/9] perf tools: adjust the vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms test

[Adrian Hunter]

vmlinux maps now map to the dso and the symbol values
are now file offsets.  For comparison with kallsyms
the virtual memory address is needed which is obtained
by unmapping the symbol value.

The "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms" is adjusted
accordingly.

[PATCH 5/9] perf tools: avoid SyS kernel syscall aliases

[Adrian Hunter]

When removing duplicate symbols, prefer to remove
syscall aliases starting with SyS or compat_SyS.

A side-effect of that is that it results in slightly
improved results for the "vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms"
test.

[PATCH 6/9] perf tools: make it possible to read object code from kernel modules

[Adrian Hunter]

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.

[PATCH 7/9] perf tools: add support for reading from /proc/kcore

[Adrian Hunter]

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.

IIUC the name should start with '/' but build-id is not.  So doesn't it
always fail?

[PATCH 8/9] perf tools: add kcore to the object code reading test

[Adrian Hunter]

Make the "object code reading" test attempt to read from
kcore.

The test uses objdump which struggles with kcore. i.e.
doesn't always work, sometimes takes a long time.
The test has been made to work around those issues.

I was confused.  So this means that the symbols came from the kallsyms
but actual binary data came from the kcore, right?

It seems that the above line is not reachable since we already bailed
out the second test if we don't have kcore.

No.  Zero is returned if vmlinux is found and the kernel is not 
excluded.  In all other cases, there is no point trying kcore.
Note if vmlinux is not found, then kcore will be tried the first
time around.

[PATCH 9/9] perf tools: allow annotation using /proc/kcore

[Adrian Hunter]

Annotation with /proc/kcore is possible so the logic
is adjusted to allow it.  The main difference is that
/proc/kcore had no symbols so the parsing logic needed
a tweak to read jump offsets.

The other difference is that objdump cannot always
read from kcore.  That seems to be a bug with objdump.

hum.. looks like it's based on your previous fixies
plus some from David? I couldn't get it cleanly applied
on latest Arnaldo's perf/core.

Please make it clear or better provide a git tree/branch ;-)

thanks,
