perf machine: Set main kernel end address properly

2018-04-23T13:52:55Z

map_groups__fixup_end() was called to set the end addresses of kernel and module maps. But now since machine__create_modules() sets the end address of modules properly, the only remaining piece is the kernel map. We can set it with adjacent module's address directly instead of calling map_groups__fixup_end(). If there's no module after the kernel map, the end address will be ~0ULL. Since it also changes the start address of the kernel map, it needs to re-insert the map to the kmaps in order to keep a correct ordering. Kim reported that it caused problems on ARM64.

perf machine: Fix mmap name setup

2018-03-16T16:56:25Z

Leo reported broken -k option behavior. The reason is that we used symbol_conf.vmlinux_name as a source for mmap event name, but in fact it's a vmlinux path. Moving the symbol_conf.vmlinux_name check for both host and guest to the proper place and out of the machine__set_mmap_name function.

perf tools: Add refcnt into struct mem_info

2018-03-08T14:30:44Z

It's passed along several hists entries in --hierarchy mode, so it's better we keep track of it. The current fail I see is that it gets removed in hierarchy --mem-mode mode, where it's shared in the different hierarchies, but removed from the template hist entry, so the report crashes.

perf machine: Fix paranoid check in machine__set_kernel_mmap()

2018-02-19T12:17:46Z

The machine__set_kernel_mmap() is to setup addresses of the kernel map using external info. But it has a check when the address is given from an incorrect input which should have the start and end address of 0 (i.e. machine__process_kernel_mmap_event). But we also use the end address of 0 for a valid input so change it to check both start and end addresses.

perf machine: Remove machine__load_kallsyms()

2018-02-16T17:25:58Z

The current machine__load_kallsyms() function has no caller, so replace it directly with __machine__load_kallsyms(). Also remove the no_kcore argument as it was always called with a 'true' value.

perf machine: Don't search for active kernel start in machinecreate_kernel_maps

2018-02-16T17:25:57Z

We should not search for the kernel start address in __machine__create_kernel_maps(), because it's being used in the 'report' code path, where we are interested in kernel MMAP data address (the one recorded via 'perf record', possibly on another machine, or an older or newer kernel on the same machine where analysis is being performed) instead of in current kernel address. The __machine__create_kernel_maps() function serves purely for creating the machines kernel maps and setting up the kmap group. The report code path then sets the address based on the data from kernel MMAP event in the machine__set_kernel_mmap() function. The kallsyms search address logic is used for test code, that calls machine__create_kernel_maps() to get current maps and calls machine__get_running_kernel_start() to get kernel starting address. Use machine__set_kernel_mmap() to set the kernel maps start address and moving map_groups__fixup_end to be call when all maps are in place. Also make __machine__create_kernel_maps static, because there's no external user.

perf machine: Move kernel mmap name into struct machine

2018-02-16T17:25:57Z

It simplifies and centralizes the code. The kernel mmap name is set for machine type, which we know from the beginning, so there's no reason to generate it every time we need it.

perf report: Fix a wrong offset issue when using /proc/kcore

2018-01-08T14:11:57Z

When a valid vmlinux is not found, 'perf report' falls back to look at /proc/kcore. In this case, it will report the impossible large offset. For example: # perf record -b -e cycles:k find /etc/ > /dev/null # perf report --stdio --branch-history 22.77% _vm_normal_page+18446603336221188162 | ---page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188324 page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188487 (cycles:5) unlock_page_memcg +18446603336221188096 page_remove_rmap +18446603336221188327 (cycles:1) The issue is the value which is passed to parameter 'addr' in __get_srcline() is the objdump address. It's not correct if we calculate the offset by using 'addr - sym->start'. This patch creates a new parameter 'ip' in __get_srcline(). It is not converted to objdump address. With this patch, the perf report output is: 22.77% _vm_normal_page+66 | ---page_remove_rmap +228 page_remove_rmap +391 (cycles:5) unlock_page_memcg +0 page_remove_rmap +231 (cycles:1) page_remove_rmap +236 Committer testing: Make sure you get any valid vmlinux out of the way, using '-v' on the 'perf report' case and deleting it from places where perf searches them, like your kernel build dir and the build-id cache, in ~/.debug/.
