perf symbols: Save DSO loading errno to better report errors

2015-03-24T15:08:43Z

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.

perf tools: Remove compressed argument from is_kernel_module

2015-03-23T15:39:30Z

We no longer need the 'compressed' argument, because all current users use 'NULL' for it.

perf tools: Add kmod_path__parse function

2015-03-21T17:53:41Z

Provides united way of parsing kernel module path into several components. The new kmod_path__parse function and few defines: int __kmod_path__parse(struct kmod_path *m, const char *path, bool alloc_name, bool alloc_ext); #define kmod_path__parse(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, false, false) #define kmod_path__parse_name(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, true , false) #define kmod_path__parse_ext(__m, __p) __kmod_path__parse(__m, __p, false, true) parse kernel module @path and updates @m argument like: @comp - true if @path contains supported compression suffix, false otherwise @kmod - true if @path contains '.ko' suffix in right position, false otherwise @name - if (@alloc_name && @kmod) is true, it contains strdup-ed base name of the kernel module without suffixes, otherwise strudup-ed base name of @path @ext - if (@alloc_ext && @comp) is true, it contains strdup-ed string the compression suffix It returns 0 if there's no strdup error, -ENOMEM otherwise.

perf tools: Add lzma decompression support for kernel module

2015-03-21T17:53:40Z

In short, Fedora compresses kernel modules now (since version 21) with lzma compression. Adding lzma decompress support into the dso.c:compressions array introduced by Namhyung earlier.

perf symbols: debuglink should take symfs option into account

2015-02-06T10:46:36Z

Currently code that tries to read corresponding debug symbol file from .gnu_debuglink section (DSO_BINARY_TYPE__DEBUGLINK) does not take in account symfs option, so filename__read_debuglink function cannot open ELF file, if symfs option is used. Fix is to add proper handling of symfs as it is done in other places: use __symbol__join_symfs function to get real file name of target ELF file.

perf symbols: Convert lseek + read to pread

2015-01-29T20:02:01Z

When dso_cache__read() is called, it reads data from the given offset using lseek + normal read syscall. It can be combined to a single pread syscall.
