perf symbols: Add BSS symbols when reading from /proc/kallsyms

2018-06-06T15:52:09+00:00

We were not considering 'B' and 'b' (BSS, uninitialized data objects,
that gets set to zero at program start), do it so that we can resolve
more symbols in tools doing resolution of data operands, like 'perf c2c'.

When using vmlinux, i.e. an ELF symbol table, those were already
considered, as the decision was about STT_FUNC or STT_OBJECT, and the
later covers BSS symbols.

  # grep -i ' b ' /proc/kallsyms  | head -20 | tail -5
  ffffffffa789d030 b execute_command
  ffffffffa789d038 b initcall_command_line
  ffffffffa789d040 b static_command_line
  ffffffffa789d048 B ROOT_DEV
  ffffffffa789d050 b once.73786
  #
  # readelf -s /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux | grep ROOT_DEV
  79219: ffffffff8289d048     4 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT   58 ROOT_DEV

perf machine: Create maps for x86 PTI entry trampolines

2018-05-23T13:24:08+00:00

Create maps for x86 PTI entry trampolines, based on symbols found in
kallsyms. It is also necessary to keep track of whether the trampolines
have been mapped particularly when the kernel dso is kcore.

perf machine: Allow for extra kernel maps

2018-05-22T13:59:22+00:00

Identify extra kernel maps by name so that they can be distinguished
from the kernel map and module maps.

perf machine: Fix map_groups__split_kallsyms() for entry trampoline symbols

2018-05-22T13:55:59+00:00

When kernel symbols are derived from /proc/kallsyms only (not using
vmlinux or /proc/kcore) map_groups__split_kallsyms() is used. However
that function makes assumptions that are not true with entry trampoline
symbols. For now, remove the entry trampoline symbols at that point, as
they are no longer needed at that point.

perf machine: Workaround missing maps for x86 PTI entry trampolines

2018-05-22T13:54:22+00:00

On x86_64 the PTI entry trampolines are not in the kernel map created by
perf tools. That results in the addresses having no symbols and prevents
annotation.  It also causes Intel PT to have decoding errors at the
trampoline addresses.

Workaround that by creating maps for the trampolines.

At present the kernel does not export information revealing where the
trampolines are.  Until that happens, the addresses are hardcoded.

perf tools: Use the "_stest" symbol to identify the kernel map when loading kcore

2018-05-15T17:31:25+00:00

The first symbol is not necessarily in the kernel text.  Instead of
using the first symbol, use the _stest symbol to identify the kernel map
when loading kcore.

This allows for the introduction of symbols to identify the x86_64 PTI
entry trampolines.

perf symbols: Move split_kallsyms to struct map_groups

2018-04-27T19:05:15+00:00

Since it mainly will populate symtabs of its maps (kernel modules).

While looking at this I wonder if map_groups__split_kallsyms_for_kcore()
shouldn't be all that we need, seems much simpler.

perf symbols: kallsyms__delta() needs the kmap, not the map

2018-04-27T18:47:13+00:00

It was only using the map to obtain its kmap, so do the validation in
its called, __dso__load_kallsyms() and pass the kmap, that will be used
in the following patches in similar simplifications.

perf symbols: Remove unused dso__load_all_kallsyms() 'map' parameter

2018-04-27T18:36:15+00:00

Only the 'dso' is needed, so ditch the struct used to pass (map, dso),
passing just the used 'dso' pointer.
