Allow to add events on the local functions without debuginfo.
(With the debuginfo, we can add events even on inlined functions)
Currently, probing on local functions requires debuginfo to
locate actual address. It is also possible without debuginfo since
we have symbol maps.
Without this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a t_show
Added new event:
probe:t_show (on t_show)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:t_show -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -x perf -a identity__map_ip
no symbols found in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf, maybe install a debug package?
Failed to load map.
Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
----
As the above results, perf probe just put one event
on the first found symbol for kprobe event. Moreover,
for uprobe event, perf probe failed to find local
functions.
With this change;
----
# ./perf probe -a t_show
Added new events:
probe:t_show (on t_show)
probe:t_show_1 (on t_show)
probe:t_show_2 (on t_show)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -x perf -a identity__map_ip
Added new events:
probe_perf:identity__map_ip (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_1 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_2 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
probe_perf:identity__map_ip_3 (on identity__map_ip in /kbuild/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:identity__map_ip_3 -aR sleep 1
----
Now we succeed to put events on every given local functions
for both kprobes and uprobes. :)
Note that this also introduces some symbol rbtree
iteration macros; symbols__for_each, dso__for_each_symbol,
and map__for_each_symbol. These are for walking through
the symbol list in a map.
Changes from v2:
- Fix add_exec_to_probe_trace_events() not to convert address
to tp->symbol any more.
- Fix to set kernel probes based on ref_reloc_sym.

kcore can be used to view the running kernel object code. However,
kcore changes as modules are loaded and unloaded, and when the kernel
decides to modify its own code. Consequently it is useful to create a
copy of kcore at a particular time. Unlike vmlinux, kcore is not unique
for a given build-id. And in addition, the kallsyms and modules files
are also needed. The tool therefore creates a directory:
~/.debug/[kernel.kcore]/<build-id>/<YYYYmmddHHMMSShh>
which contains: kcore, kallsyms and modules.
Note that the copied kcore contains only code sections. See the
kcore_copy() function for how that is determined.
The tool will not make additional copies of kcore if there is already
one with the same modules at the same addresses.
Currently, perf tools will not look for kcore in the cache. That is
addressed in another patch.

- dso_daddr: data address shared object
- locked: access uses locked transaction
- tlb : TLB access
- mem : memory level of the access (L1, L2, L3, RAM, ...)

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored
__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.
The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

perf uses the glibc version of basename(), by defining _GNU_SOURCE,

Android has only one version of basename which is defined in libgen.h.
This version is the same as the glibc version.

We keep both a 'runtime' elf image as well as a 'debug' elf image around
and generate symbols by looking at both of these.
This eliminates the need for the want_symtab/goto restart mechanism
combined with iterating over and reopening the elf images a second time.
Also give dso__synthsize_plt_symbols() the runtime image (which has
dynsyms) instead of the symbol image (which may only have a symtab and
no dynsyms).
Previously if a debug image was found all runtime images were ignored.
This fixes 2 issues:
- Symbol resolution to failure on PowerPC systems with debug symbols
installed, as the debug images lack a '.opd' section which contains
function descriptors.
- On all archs, plt synthesis failed when a debug image was loaded and
that debug image lacks a dynsym section while a runtime image has a
dynsym section.
Assumptions:
- If a .opd section exists, it is contained in the highest priority
image with a dynsym section.
- This generally implies that the debug image lacks a dynsym section
(ie: it is marked as NO_BITS).

To properly handle platforms with an opd section, both a runtime image
(which contains the opd section but possibly lacks symbols) and a symbol
image (which probably lacks an opd section but has symbols).
The next patch ("perf symbol: use both runtime and debug images")
adjusts the callsite in dso__load() to take advantage of being able to
pass both runtime & debug images.
Assumptions made here:
- The opd section, if it exists in the runtime image, has headers in
both the runtime image and the debug/syms image.
- The index of the opd section (again, only if it exists in the runtime
image) is the same in both the runtime and debug/symbols image.
Both of these are true on RHEL, but it is unclear how accurate they are
in general (on platforms with function descriptors in opd sections).

Factors opening of certain sections & tracking certain elf info into an
external structure.
The goal here is to keep multiple elfs (and their looked up
sections/indexes) around during the symbol generation process (in
dso__load()).
We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of
function descriptors & the .opd section (ie: symbols which are functions
don't point to their actual location, they point to their function
descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location.
It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end
up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for
the existence of an important section wouldn't be as clean (and we need
to keep the Elf stuff confined to symtab-elf.c).

kallsyms__parse() takes a callback that is called on every discovered
symbol. As /proc/kallsyms does not supply symbol sizes, the callback was
simply called with end=start, faking the symbol size to 1.
All of the callbacks (there are 2) used in calls to kallsyms__parse()
are _only_ used as callbacks for kallsyms__parse().
Given that kallsyms__parse() lacks real information about what
end/length should be, don't make up a length in kallsyms__parse().
Instead have the callbacks handle guessing the length.
Also relocate a comment regarding symbol creation to the callback which
does symbol creation (kallsyms__parse() is not in general used to create
symbols).

Currently we dont care about the file object's endianness. It's possible
we read buildid file object from different architecture than we are
currentlly running on. So we need to care about properly reading such
object's data - handle different endianness properly.
Adding:
needs_swap DSO field
dso__swap_init function to initialize DSO's needs_swap
DSO__SWAP to read the data with proper swaps
Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report
discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1 below,
e.g. following perf report diff:
...
0.12% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page
- 0.12% awk bash [.] alloc_word_desc
+ 0.12% awk bash [.] yyparse
0.11% beah-rhts-task libpython2.6.so.1.0 [.] 0x5560e
0.10% perf libc-2.12.so [.] __ctype_toupper_loc
- 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] maybe_make_export_env
+ 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] 0x385a0
0.09% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault
...
Note, running following to test perf endianity handling:
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do)
# perf report > report.origin
# perf archive perf.data
- copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2
to a target system and run:
# tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug
# perf report > report.target
# diff -u report.origin report.target
- the diff should produce no output
(besides some white space stuff and possibly different
date/TZ output)
test 1)
- origin system:
# perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1
- mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin
- target system:
# perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \
--kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms
- complete perf.data header is displayed
