Things like this in _cpp_lex_token (gcc's cc1 program):
cpp_named_operator2name@@Base+0xa72
Point to a place that is after the cpp_named_operator2name boundaries,
i.e. in the ELF symbol table for cc1 cpp_named_operator2name is marked
as being 32-bytes long, but it in fact is much larger than that, so we
seem to need a symbols__find() routine that looks for >= current->start
and < next_symbol->start, possibly just for C++ objects?
For now lets just make some progress by marking jumps to outside the
current function as call like.
Actual navigation will come next, with further understanding of how the
symbol searching and disassembly should be done.

Just like we have in the histograms browser used as the main screen for
'perf top --tui' and 'perf report --tui', to print the current
annotation to a file with a named composed by the symbol name and the
".annotation" suffix.
Here is one example of pressing 'A' on 'perf top' to live annotate a
kernel function and then press 'P' to dump that annotation, the
resulting file:
# cat _raw_spin_lock_irqsave.annotation
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave() /proc/kcore
Event: cycles:ppp
7.14 nop
21.43 push %rbx
7.14 pushfq
pop %rax

mov %rax,%rbx

xor %eax,%eax
mov $0x1,%edx
64.29 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi)

mov %rbx,%rax

← retq
2b: mov %eax,%esi

In verbose level 2, errors returned by libdw are reported in most cases,
but not when calling dwfl_attach_state.
Since elfutils v 0.160 (2014), dwfl_attach_state sets the error code to
report failure cause. On failure, log the reported error.

Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
- Fixes for problems experienced with new GCC 8 warnings, that treated
as errors, broke the build, related to snprintf and casting issues.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo, Jiri Olsa, Josh Poinboeuf)
- Fix build of new breakpoint 'perf test' entry with clang < 6, noticed
on fedora 25, 26 and 27 (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Workaround problem with symbol resolution in 'perf annotate', using
the symbol name already present in the objdump output (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Document 'perf top --ignore-vmlinux' (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Fix out of bounds access on array fd when cnt is 100 in one of the
'perf test' entries, detected using 'cpptest' (Colin Ian King)
- Add support for the forced leader feature, i.e. 'perf report --group'
for a group of events not really grouped when scheduled (without using
{} to enclose the list of events in the command line) in pipe mode,
e.g.:
$ perf record -e cycles,instructions -o - kill | perf report --group -i -
- Use right type to access array elements in 'perf probe' (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Update POWER9 vendor events (those described in JSON format) (Sukadev Bhattiprolu)
- Discard head in overwrite_rb_find_range() (Yisheng Xie)
- Avoid setting 'quiet' to 'true' unnecessarily (Yisheng Xie)

Starting with recent GCC 8 builds, objtool and perf fail to build with
the following error:
../str_error_r.c: In function ‘str_error_r’:
../str_error_r.c:25:3: error: passing argument 1 to restrict-qualified parameter aliases with argument 5 [-Werror=restrict]
snprintf(buf, buflen, "INTERNAL ERROR: strerror_r(%d, %p, %zd)=%d", errnum, buf, buflen, err);
The code seems harmless, but there's probably no benefit in printing the
'buf' pointer in this situation anyway, so just remove it to make GCC
happy.

Current 'perf probe' converts the type of array-elements incorrectly. It
always converts the types as a pointer of array. This passes the "array"
type DIE to the type converter so that it can get correct "element of
array" type DIE from it.
E.g.
====
$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
void foo(int a[])
{
printf("%d\n", a[1]);
}
void main()
{
int a[3] = {4, 5, 6};
printf("%d\n", a[0]);
foo(a);
}
$ gcc -g hello.c -o hello
$ perf probe -x ./hello -D "foo a[1]"
====
Without this fix, above outputs
====
p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):u64
====
The "u64" means "int *", but a[1] is "int".
With this,
====
p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):s32
====
So, "int" correctly converted to "s32"

There is a bug where when using 'perf annotate timerqueue_add' the
target for its only routine called with the 'callq' instruction,
'rb_insert_color', doesn't get resolved from its address when parsing
that 'callq' instruction.
That symbol resolution works when using 'perf report --tui' and then
doing annotation for 'timerqueue_add' from there, the vmlinux
dso->symbols rb_tree somehow gets in a state that we can't find that
address, that is a bug that has to be further investigated.
But since the objdump output has the function name, i.e. the raw objdump
disassembled line looks like:
So, before:
# perf annotate timerqueue_add
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq *ffffffff8184dc80
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
# perf report
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq rb_insert_color
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
And after both look the same:
# perf annotate timerqueue_add
│ mov %rbx,%rdi
│ mov %rbx,(%rdx)
│ → callq rb_insert_color
│ mov 0x8(%rbp),%rdx
│ test %rdx,%rdx
│ ↓ je 67
From 'perf report' one can annotate and navigate to that 'rb_insert_color'
function, but not directly from 'perf annotate timerqueue_add', that
remains to be investigated and fixed.

The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the
following errors (one example):
python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible function types from \
‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’ \
uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to \
‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
_object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
.ml_meth = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,
The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is
determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as
METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.
That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is
actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type
stays PyCFunction.
Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this
warning for python.c build.
Commiter notes:
Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang
versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27:
fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
fedora:27:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
#
those have:
clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)
The one in rawhide accepts that:
clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)

With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
compilation, one example:
tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);
The gcc docs says:
To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
has been truncated.
Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
gcc stays silent.
