This fixes many cases where perf report currently attributes the cost to the next line. I.e. I have code like this: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #include #include using namespace std; int main() { this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(1000)); this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(100)); this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(10)); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now compile and record it: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ g++ -std=c++11 -g -O2 test.cpp echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats perf record \ --event sched:sched_stat_sleep \ --event sched:sched_process_exit \ --event sched:sched_switch --call-graph=dwarf \ --output perf.data.raw \ ./a.out echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats perf inject --sched-stat --input perf.data.raw --output perf.data ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before this patch, the report clearly shows the off-by-one issue. Most notably, the last sleep invocation is incorrectly attributed to the "return 0;" line: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overhead Source:Line ........ ........... 100.00% core.c:0 | ---__schedule core.c:0 schedule do_nanosleep hrtimer.c:0 hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath .tmp_entry_64.o:0 __nanosleep_nocancel .:0 std::this_thread::sleep_for > thread:323 | |--90.08%--main test.cpp:9 | __libc_start_main | _start | |--9.01%--main test.cpp:10 | __libc_start_main | _start | --0.91%--main test.cpp:13 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With this patch here applied, the issue is fixed. The report becomes much more usable: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overhead Source:Line ........ ........... 100.00% core.c:0 | ---__schedule core.c:0 schedule do_nanosleep hrtimer.c:0 hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath .tmp_entry_64.o:0 __nanosleep_nocancel .:0 std::this_thread::sleep_for > thread:323 | |--90.08%--main test.cpp:8 | __libc_start_main | _start | |--9.01%--main test.cpp:9 | __libc_start_main | _start | --0.91%--main test.cpp:10 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Similarly it works for signal frames: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ __noinline void bar(void) { volatile long cnt = 0; for (cnt = 0; cnt < 100000000; cnt++); } __noinline void foo(void) { bar(); } void sig_handler(int sig) { foo(); } int main(void) { signal(SIGUSR1, sig_handler); raise(SIGUSR1); foo(); return 0; } ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Before, the report wrongly points to `signal.c:29` after raise(): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ $ perf report --stdio --no-children -g srcline -s srcline ... 100.00% signal.c:11 | ---bar signal.c:11 | |--50.49%--main signal.c:29 | __libc_start_main | _start | --49.51%--0x33a8f raise .:0 main signal.c:29 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ With this patch in, the issue is fixed and we instead get: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 100.00% signal signal [.] bar | ---bar signal.c:11 | |--50.49%--main signal.c:29 | __libc_start_main | _start | --49.51%--0x33a8f raise .:0 main signal.c:27 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Note how this patch fixes this issue for both unwinding methods, i.e. both dwfl and libunwind. The former case is straight-forward thanks to dwfl_frame_pc(). For libunwind, we replace the functionality via unw_is_signal_frame() for any but the very first frame.
