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. tools/perf/Documentation/perf-report.txt | 11 + tools/perf/builtin-report.c | 2 + tools/perf/util/machine.c | 355 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- tools/perf/util/machine.h | 3 + tools/perf/util/unwind-libunwind.c | 28 ++- 5 files changed, 383 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) -- 1.8.3.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
