Subject: [for-next][PATCH 2/7] tracing: Add an option to show symbols in _text+offset for function profiler
Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2025 16:03:33 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251106210357.157755907@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20251106210331.537317097@kernel.org

From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" <mhiramat@kernel.org>

Function profiler shows the hit count of each function using its symbol
name. However, there are some same-name local symbols, which we can not
distinguish.
To solve this issue, this introduces an option to show the symbols
in "_text+OFFSET" format. This can avoid exposing the random shift of
KASLR. The functions in modules are shown as "MODNAME+OFFSET" where the
offset is from ".text".

E.g. for the kernel text symbols, specify vmlinux and the output to
 addr2line, you can find the actual function and source info;

  $ addr2line -fie vmlinux _text+3078208
  __balance_callbacks
  kernel/sched/core.c:5064

for modules, specify the module file and .text+OFFSET;

  $ addr2line -fie samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.ko .text+8224
  do_simple_thread_func
  samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.c:23
