perf symbol: Add blocking argument to filename__read_build_id

2025-08-25T22:07:18Z

When synthesizing build-ids, for build ID mmap2 events, they will be added for data mmaps if -d/--data is specified. The files opened for their build IDs may block on the open causing perf to hang during synthesis. There is some robustness in existing calls to filename__read_build_id by checking the file path is to a regular file, which unfortunately fails for symlinks. Rather than adding more is_regular_file calls, switch filename__read_build_id to take a "block" argument and specify O_NONBLOCK when this is false. The existing is_regular_file checking callers and the event synthesis callers are made to pass false and thereby avoiding the hang.

perf symbol: Remove symbol_name_rb_node

2023-06-24T04:47:20Z

Most perf commands want to sort symbols by name and this is done via an invasive rbtree that on 64-bit systems costs 24 bytes. Sorting the symbols in a DSO by name is optional and not done by default, however, if sorting is requested the 24 bytes is allocated for every symbol. This change removes the rbtree and uses a sorted array of symbol pointers instead (costing 8 bytes per symbol). As the array is created on demand then there are further memory savings. The complexity of sorting the array and using the rbtree are the same. To support going to the next symbol, the index of the current symbol needs to be passed around as a pair with the current symbol. This requires some API changes.

The filename__has_section() is to check if the given section name is in the binary. It'd be used for checking debug info for srcline.
