perf unwind: Don't show unwind error messages when augmenting frame pointer stack

2022-04-09T15:34:29+00:00

Commit Fixes: b9f6fbb3b2c29736 ("perf arm64: Inject missing frames when
using 'perf record --call-graph=fp'") intended to add a 'best effort'
DWARF unwind that improved the frame pointer stack in most scenarios.

It's expected that the unwind will fail sometimes, but this shouldn't be
reported as an error. It only works when the return address can be
determined from the contents of the link register alone.

Fix the error shown when the unwinder requires extra registers by adding
a new flag that suppresses error messages. This flag is not set in the
normal --call-graph=dwarf unwind mode so that behavior is not changed.

perf unwind: Set userdata for all __report_module() paths

2021-02-18T17:20:32+00:00

When locating the DWARF module for a given address, __find_debuginfo()
requires a 'struct dso' passed via the userdata argument.

However, this field is only set in __report_module() if the module is
found in via dwfl_addrmodule(), not if it is found later via
dwfl_report_elf().

Set userdata irrespective of how the DWARF module was found, as long as
we found a module.

perf unwind: Fix separate debug info files when using elfutils' libdw's unwinder

2020-12-17T17:36:16+00:00

elfutils needs to be provided main binary and separate debug info file
respectively. Providing separate debug info file instead of the main
binary is not sufficient.

One needs to try both supplied filename and its possible cache by its
build-id depending on the use case.

perf tools: Add a 'struct map_groups' pointer to 'struct map_symbol'

2019-11-12T11:20:53+00:00

And fill it whenever we setup a a 'struct map_symbol', now we need to
use it, next cset.

perf unwind: Use 'struct map_symbol' in 'struct unwind_entry'

2019-11-12T11:20:53+00:00

To help in passing that info around to callchain routines that, for the
same reason, are moving to use 'struct map_symbol'.

perf tools: Remove util.h from where it is not needed

2019-09-20T12:19:20+00:00

Check that it is not needed and remove, fixing up some fallout for
places where it was only serving to get something else.

perf dsos: Move the dsos struct and its methods to separate source files

2019-09-01T01:24:10+00:00

So that we can reduce the header dependency tree further, in the process
noticed that lots of places were getting even things like build-id
routines and 'struct perf_tool' definition indirectly, so fix all those
too.
