This series of patches introduce a --map-adjustment argument for
dealing with private dynamic linkers.
Some programs write their private dynamic loader instead of glibc ld for
different reasons. They mmap() executable memory area, assemble code
from different '.so' and '.o' files then do the relocation and code
fixing by itself. Since the memory area is not file-backended, perf is
unable to handle symbol information in those files.
Actually, it is not hard for us to create a /tmp/perf-%d.map file from
those ELF objects then utilize the JIT interface. However, without this
series of patches, dwarf unwind information is lost. We are unable to
unwind stack recorded by --call-graph=dwarf if they are compiled without
frame pointer. In addition, we are unable to use annotation to analysis
instruction level histogram.
This series of patches solve this problem by introducing
'--map-adjustment' argument and let users directly hint perf-report
about the private mapping which known to be copied from ELF files.
Patch 1/4: fix a bug in unwind hooks.
Patch 2/4: extracts common code from machine__process_mmap2_event and
machine__process_mmap_event, create machine_map_new().
Patch 3/4: the main part of this series. The usage of the newly
introduced argument is described in the commit message of
that patch. It also update document for the argument.
Patch 4/4: Allows libunwind to try to read from user provided dso even
the required address is not actually mapped.
Wang Nan (4):
perf tools: unwind: ensure unwind hooks return negative errorno.
perf tools: introduce machine_map_new to merge mmap/mmap2 processing
code.
perf tools: report: introduce --map-adjustment argument.
perf tools: unwinding: try to read from map_adj for a unmapped
address.

1.8.3.4
According to man pages of libunwind, unwind hooks should return
'negative value of one of the unw_error_t error-codes', they are
different from generic error code. In addition, access_dso_mem()
returns '!(size == sizeof(*data))', compiler never ensure it is
negative when failure, which causes libunwind get undesire value
when accessing //anon memory.
This patch fixes this problem by force returning negative value when
error, instead of returning 'ret' itself when it is non-zero.

1.8.3.4
This patch introduces a --map-adjustment argument for perf report. The
goal of this option is to deal with private dynamic loader used in some
special program.
Some programs write their private dynamic loader instead of glibc ld for
different reasons. They mmap() executable memory area, assemble code
from different '.so' and '.o' files then do the relocation and code
fixing by itself. The memory area is not file-backended so perf is
unable to handle symbol information in those files.
This patch allows user to give perf report hints directly using
'--map-adjustment' argument. Perf report will regard such mapping as
file-backended mapping and treat them as dso instead of private mapping
area.
The main part of this patch resides in util/machine.c. struct map_adj is
introduced to represent each adjustment. They are sorted and linked
together to map_adj_list linked list. When a real MMAP event raises,
perf checks such adjustments before calling map__new() and
thread__insert_map(), then setup filename and pgoff according to user
hints. It also splits MMAP events when necessary.
Usage of --map-adjustment is appended into Documentation/perf-report.txt.
Here is an example:
$ perf report --map-adjustment=./libtest.so@0x7fa52fcb1000,0x4000,0x21000,92051 \
--no-children
Where 0x7fa52fcb1000 is private map area got through:
mmap(NULL, 4096 * 4, PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE,
-1, 0);
And its contents are copied from libtest.so.

Previous patch allows users to use --map-adjustment to hint perf about
address ranges known to be shared object files backended. However, if
only parts of such object files are read, libunwind will fail to get
required information from unmapped area of those files.
This patch makes access_dso_mem() to try it best when when reading from
DSO. When it tried and fail the first time, it iterates over
map_adj_list to search a mapped DSO whcih contains such address and read
from it.

hum, how about find_proc_info callback.. should it follow the same rules?

the name style for this should be more like 'machine__new_map'
I think Arnaldo will chime in.. ;-)

Yes, but it only returns -EINVAL and dwarf_search_unwind_table(....). The latter
one is part of libunwind so we can trust it returns negative when fail.

we dont like global stuff ;-)
I think this belongs to the machine object, which is created
within the perf_session__new, so after options parsing.. hum
perhaps you could stash stash 'struct map_adj' objects and
add some interface to init perf_session::machines::host
once it's created?
> +struct map_adj {
IMHO 'struct map_adjust' suits better.. using 'adjust' instead
of 'adj' is not such a waste of space and it's more readable
(for all 'adj' instances in the patch)

just curious.. how many --map-adjust entries do you normaly use?
maybe if it's bigger number then a) using rb_tree might be faster
and b) using some sort of config file could be better way for
input might be easier

We'd better check the value of len, and only do this mapping if len is not 0.

Right, I wonder if this is a function that is about 'maps' or 'machines'
mostly, that would say what prefix should be used, if map__ or
machine__, still need to review this patchset.
Just give a really quick lock, eyebrows raised, even more complexity for
the symbol layer, wonder if this can't be simplified...

Do you think such struct map_adj objects should better reside in thread
objects?

The address and pid are dynamically allocated so I don't think static config
file is a good way for input. I'll consider rb_tree in my next post.
Thank you.
Hi folks,
I'm rethinking --map-adjustment now, and I believe what we need should be something
like 'perf inject', which allows us to inject fake mmap events into perf.data to
make 'perf report' believe some //anon memory are file based mapping. Patch 2/4 - 4/4
seem not useful now. However, patch 1/4 is still useful because it is a bugfix. Could
you please drop the other 3 patches and merge this one?
Thank you.
