perf tools: Do not attempt to run perf-read-vdso32 if it wasn't built

2014-10-29T12:32:48Z

popen() causes an error message to print if perf-read-vdso32 does not run. Avoid that by not trying to run it if it was not built. Ditto perf-read-vdsox32.

perf tools: Add support for 32-bit compatibility VDSOs

2014-10-29T12:32:48Z

'perf record' post-processes the event stream to create a list of build-ids for object files for which sample events have been recorded. That results in those object files being recorded in the build-id cache. In the case of VDSO, perf tools reads it from memory and copies it into a temporary file, which as decribed above, gets added to the build-id cache. Then when the perf.data file is processed by other tools, the build-id of VDSO is listed in the perf.data file and the VDSO can be read from the build-id cache. In that case the name of the map, the short name of the DSO, and the entry in the build-id cache are all "[vdso]". However, in the 64-bit case, there also can be 32-bit compatibility VDSOs. A previous patch added programs "perf-read-vdso32" and "perf read-vdsox32". This patch uses those programs to read the correct VDSO for a thread and create a temporary file just as for the 64-bit VDSO. The map name and the entry in the build-id cache are still "[vdso]" but the DSO short name becomes "[vdso32]" and "[vdsox32]" respectively.

perf tools: Build programs to copy 32-bit compatibility

2014-10-29T12:32:48Z

perf tools copy VDSO out of memory. However, on 64-bit machines there may be 32-bit compatibility VDOs also. To copy those requires separate 32-bit executables. This patch adds to the build additional programs perf-read-vdso32 and perf-read-vdsox32 for 32-bit and x32 respectively.

perf machine: Fix the lifetime of the VDSO temporary file

2014-07-23T20:14:39Z

The VDSO temporary file is unlinked when a session is deleted. That precludes the possibilities that there is no session or there is more than one session. Correctly the vdso belongs to the machine so put the information on 'struct machine' and get rid of the global variables.

This is preparation for removing the global variables used in vdso.c and thereby fixing the lifetime of the VDSO temporary file.
