When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.
So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.
Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

Ignore the buildid of running kernel when both of --definition and
--vmlinux is given because that kernel should be off-line.
This also skips post-processing of kprobe event for relocating symbol
and checking blacklist, because it can not be done on off-line kernel.
E.g. without this fix perf shows an error as below
----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open
./vmlinux-arm with build id 7a1f76dd56e9c4da707cd3d6333f50748141434b not found, continuing without symbols
Failed to find symbol do_sys_open in kernel
Error: Failed to add events.

with this fix, we can get the definition
----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition do_sys_open

The symbols in the synthesized @plt entries where not demangled before,
i.e. we could end up with entries such as:

Commit 73cdf0c6ea ("perf symbols: Record text offset in dso
to calculate objdump address") started storing the offset of
the text section for all DSOs:
if (elf_section_by_name(elf, &ehdr, &tshdr, ".text", NULL))
dso->text_offset = tshdr.sh_addr - tshdr.sh_offset;
Unfortunately this breaks debuginfo files, because we need to calculate
the offset of the text section in the associated executable file. As a
result perf annotate returns junk for all debuginfo files.
Fix this by using runtime_ss->elf which should point at the executable
when parsing a debuginfo file.

This patch serves the initial support to identify and list SDT events in
binaries. When programs containing SDT markers are compiled, gcc with
the help of assembler directives identifies them and places them in the
section ".note.stapsdt".
To find these markers from the binaries, one needs to traverse through
this section and parse the relevant details like the name, type and
location of the marker. Also, the original location could be skewed due
to the effect of prelinking. If that is the case, the locations need to
be adjusted.
The functions in this patch open a given ELF, find out the SDT section,
parse the relevant details, adjust the location (if necessary) and
populate them in a list.
A typical note entry in ".note.stapsdt" section is as follows :
|--nhdr.n_namesz--|
------------------------------------
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
----- |----------------------------------|
| | <location> <base_address> |
| | <semaphore> |
nhdr.n_descsize | "provider_name" "note_name" |
| | <args> |
----- |----------------------------------|
| nhdr | "stapsdt" |
|...
The above shows an excerpt from the section ".note.stapsdt". 'nhdr' is
a structure which has the note name size (n_namesz), note description
size (n_desc_sz) and note type (n_type).
So, in order to parse the note note info, we need nhdr to tell us where
to start from. As can be seen from <sys/sdt.h>, the name of the SDT
notes given is "stapsdt". But this is not the identifier of the note.
After that, we go to description of the note to find out its location, the
address of the ".stapsdt.base" section and the semaphore address.
Then, we find the provider name and the SDT marker name and then follow the
arguments.

ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.
To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.

He Kuang reported a problem that perf fails to get correct symbol on
Android platform in [1]. The problem can be reproduced on normal x86_64
platform. I will describe the reproducing steps in detail at the end of
commit message.
The reason of this problem is the missing of symbol adjustment for normal
shared objects. In most of the cases skipping adjustment is okay. However,
when '.text' section have different 'address' and 'offset' the result is wrong.
I checked all shared objects in my working platform, only wine dll objects and
debug objects (in .debug) have this problem. However, it is common on Android.
For example:
$ readelf -S ./libsurfaceflinger.so | grep \.text
[10] .text PROGBITS 0000000000029030 00012030
This patch enables symbol adjustment for dynamic objects so the symbol
address got from elfutils would be adjusted correctly.
Now nearly all types of ELF files should adjust symbols. Makes
ss->adjust_symbols default to true.
Steps to reproduce the problem:
$ cat ./Makefile
PWD := $(shell pwd)
LDFLAGS += "-Wl,-rpath=$(PWD)"
CFLAGS += -g
main: main.c libbuggy.so
libbuggy.so: buggy.c
gcc -g -shared -fPIC -Wl,-Ttext-segment=0x200000 $< -o $@
clean:
rm -rf main libbuggy.so *.o
$ cat ./buggy.c
int fib(int x)
{
return (x == 0) ? 1 : (x == 1) ? 1 : fib(x - 1) + fib(x - 2);
}
$ cat ./main.c
#include <stdio.h>
extern int fib(int x);
int main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 40; i++)
printf("%d\n", fib(i));
return 0;
}
$ make
$ perf record ./main
...
$ perf report --stdio
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................. ...............................

So, in the dso__load_sym, dso is gotten 3 times, by dso__new,
map__new2, and dsos__add. The last 2 is actually released by
map_groups and machine__delete correspondingly. However, the
first reference by dso__new, is never released.
Committer note:
Changed the place where the reference count is dropped to:
Fix it by dropping it right after creating curr_map, since we know that
either that operation failed and we need to drop the dso refcount or
that it succeed and we have it referenced via curr_map->dso.
Then only drop the curr_map refcount after we call dsos__add() to make
sure we hold a reference to it via curr_map->dso.

This means that the dso__load_sym calls map__new2 and maps_insert, both
of them bump the map refcount, but map_groups__exit will drop just one
reference.
Fix it by dropping the refcount after inserting it into kmaps.

A copy of /proc/kcore containing the kernel text can be made to the
buildid cache. e.g.
perf buildid-cache -v -k /proc/kcore
To workaround objdump limitations, a copy is also made when annotating
against /proc/kcore.
The copying process stops working from libelf about v1.62 onwards (the
problem was found with v1.63).
The cause is that a call to gelf_getphdr() in kcore__add_phdr() fails
because additional validation has been added to gelf_getphdr().
The use of gelf_getphdr() is a misguided attempt to get default
initialization of the Gelf_Phdr structure. That should not be
necessary because every member of the Gelf_Phdr structure is
subsequently assigned. So just remove the call to gelf_getphdr().
Similarly, a call to gelf_getehdr() in gelf_kcore__init() can be
removed also.
Committer notes:
Note to stable@kernel.org, from Adrian in the cover letter for this
patchkit:
The "Fix copying of /proc/kcore" problem goes back to v3.13 if you think
it is important enough for stable.

This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.
So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.

We have pointers to struct map instances in several places, like in the
hist_entry instances, so we need a way to know when we can destroy them,
otherwise we may either keep leaking them or end up referencing deleted
instances.
Start fixing it by reference counting them.
This patch puts the reference count for struct map in place, replacing
direct map__delete() calls with map__put() ones and then grabbing a
reference count when adding it to the maps struct where maps for a
struct thread are kept.
Next we'll grab reference counts when setting pointers to struct map
instances, in places like in the hist_entry code.

Before, when some problem happened while trying to load the kernel
symtab, 'perf top' would show:
┌─Warning:───────────────────────────┐
│The vmlinux file can't be used. │
│Kernel samples will not be resolved.│
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└────────────────────────────────────┘
Now, it reports:
# perf top --vmlinux /dev/null
┌─Warning:───────────────────────────────────────────┐
│The /tmp/passwd file can't be used: Invalid ELF file│
│Kernel samples will not be resolved. │
│ │
│ │
│Press any key... │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This is possible because we now register the reason for not being able
to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a
dso__strerror_load() routine to format this error into a strerror like
string with a short reason for the error while loading.
That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to
strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message.

When perf probe tries to add a probe in a binary using symbol name, it
sometimes failed since some symbols were discard during loading dso.
When it resolves an address to symbol, it'd be better to have just one
symbol at given address. But for finding address from symbol, it'd be
better to keep all names (including aliases).
So allow tools to state that they want to allow aliases via
symbol_conf.allow_aliases.

We need to define bfd_demangle() to either a wrapper for
cplus_demangle() or to a stub when NO_DEMANGLE is defined.
That is at odds with using bfd.h for some other reason, as it defines
bfd_demangle() and then if code that wants to use symbol.h, where the
above stubbing/wrapping is done, and bfd.h for other reasons, we end up
with a build error where bfd_demangle() is found to be redefined.
Avoid that by moving the stubbing/wrapping to symbol-elf.c, that is the
only user of such function. If we ever get to a point where there are
more valid users, we can then introduce a header for that.

If a vmlinux is stripped, perf will use it and ignore kallsyms. We
end up with useless profiles where everything maps to a few
runtime symbols:
63.39% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] hcall_real_table
4.90% beam.smp [kernel.kallsyms] [k] hcall_real_table
4.44% beam.smp [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __sched_text_start
3.72% beam.smp [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __run_at_kexec
Detect this case and fallback to using kallsyms. This fixes the issue:
62.81% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] snooze_loop
4.44% beam.smp [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __schedule
0.91% beam.smp [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _switch
0.73% beam.smp [kernel.kallsyms] [k] put_prev_entity

Some C++ symbols have very long name and they make column length longer.
Most of them are about parameters including templates and we can ignore
such info most of time IMHO.
This patch passes DMGL_NO_OPTS by default when calling bfd_demangle().
One can still see full symbols with -v/--verbose option.
before:
JS_CallFunctionValue(JSContext*, JSObject*, JS::Value, unsigned int, JS::Value*, JS::Value*)
after:
JS_CallFunctionValue

pert-report doesn't resolve function names in VDSO:
$ perf report --stdio -g flat,0.0,15,callee --sort pid
...
8.76%
0x7fff6b1fe861
__gettimeofday
ACE_OS::gettimeofday()
...
In this case symbol values should be adjusted the same way as for executables,
relocatable objects and prelinked libraries.
After fix:
$ perf report --stdio -g flat,0.0,15,callee --sort pid
...
8.76%
__vdso_gettimeofday
__gettimeofday
ACE_OS::gettimeofday()
