During work on perf report for s390 I ran into the following issue:
0 0x318 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0:
[0x3ff804d6990(0xfffffc007fb2966f) @ 0]:
x /lib/modules/4.12.0perf1+/kernel/drivers/s390/net/qeth_l2.ko
This is a PERF_RECORD_MMAP entry of the perf.data file with an invalid
module size for qeth_l2.ko (the s390 ethernet device driver).
Even a mainframe does not have 0xfffffc007fb2966f bytes of main memory.
It turned out that this wrong size is created by the perf record
command. What happens is this function call sequence from
__cmd_record():
perf_session__new():
perf_session__create_kernel_maps():
machine__create_kernel_maps():
machine__create_modules(): Creates map for all loaded kernel modules.
modules__parse(): Reads /proc/modules and extracts module name and
load address (1st and last column)
machine__create_module(): Called for every module found in /proc/modules.
Creates a new map for every module found and enters
module name and start address into the map. Since the
module end address is unknown it is set to zero.
This ends up with a kernel module map list sorted by module start
addresses. All module end addresses are zero.
Last machine__create_kernel_maps() calls function map_groups__fixup_end().
This function iterates through the maps and assigns each map entry's
end address the successor map entry start address. The last entry of the
map group has no successor, so ~0 is used as end to consume the remaining
memory.
Later __cmd_record calls function record__synthesize() which in turn calls
perf_event__synthesize_kernel_mmap() and perf_event__synthesize_modules()
to create PERF_REPORT_MMAP entries into the perf.data file.
On s390 this results in the last module qeth_l2.ko
(which has highest start address, see module table:
[root@s8360047 perf]# cat /proc/modules
qeth_l2 86016 1 - Live 0x000003ff804d6000
qeth 266240 1 qeth_l2, Live 0x000003ff80296000
ccwgroup 24576 1 qeth, Live 0x000003ff80218000
vmur 36864 0 - Live 0x000003ff80182000
qdio 143360 2 qeth_l2,qeth, Live 0x000003ff80002000
[root@s8360047 perf]# )
to be the last entry and its map has an end address of ~0.
When the PERF_RECORD_MMAP entry is created for kernel module qeth_l2.ko
its start address and length is written. The length is calculated in line:
event->mmap.len = pos->end - pos->start;
and results in 0xffffffffffffffff - 0x3ff804d6990(*) = 0xfffffc007fb2966f
(*) On s390 the module start address is actually determined by a __weak function
named arch__fix_module_text_start() in machine__create_module().
I think this improvable. We can use the module size (2nd column of /proc/modules)
to get each loaded kernel module size and calculate its end address.
Only for map entries which do not have a valid end address (end is still zero)
we can use the heuristic we have now, that is use successor start address or ~0.

If a process is in a mountns and has symbols in /tmp/perf-<pid>.map,
look first in the namespace using the tgid for the pidns that the
process might be in. If the map isn't found there, try looking in the
mountns where perf is running, and use the tgid that's appropriate for
perf's pid namespace. If all else fails, use the original pid.
This allows us to locate a symbol map file in the mount namespace, if it
was generated there. However, we also try the tool's /tmp in case it's
there instead.

The commit e7ee404757 ("perf symbols: Fix symbols searching for module
in buildid-cache") added the function to check kernel modules reside in
the build-id cache. This was because there's no way to identify a DSO
which is actually a kernel module. So it searched linkname of the file
and find ".ko" suffix.
But this does not work for compressed kernel modules and now such DSOs
hCcave correct symtab_type now. So no need to check it anymore. This
patch essentially reverts the commit.

Symbol versioning, as in glibc, results in symbols being defined as:
<real symbol>@[@]<version>
(Note that "@@" identifies a default symbol, if the symbol name is
repeated.)
perf is currently unable to deal with this, and is unable to create user
probes at such symbols:
--
$ nm /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 | grep pthread_create
0000000000008d30 t __pthread_create_2_1
0000000000008d30 T pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17

--
One is not able to specify the fully versioned symbol, either, due to
syntactic conflicts with other uses of "@" by perf:
--
$ /usr/bin/sudo perf probe -v -x /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17
probe-definition(0): pthread_create@@GLIBC_2.17
Semantic error :SRC@SRC is not allowed.
0 arguments
Error: Command Parse Error. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)
--
This patch ignores versioning for default symbols, thus allowing probes to be
created for these symbols:
--
$ /usr/bin/sudo ./perf probe -x /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 pthread_create
Added new event:
probe_libpthread:pthread_create (on pthread_create in /lib/powerpc64le-linux-gnu/libpthread-2.19.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libpthread:pthread_create -aR sleep 1
$ /usr/bin/sudo ./perf record -e probe_libpthread:pthread_create -aR ./test 2

That is the case of _text on s390, and we have some functions that return an
address, using address zero to report problems, oops.
This would lead the symbol loading routines to not use "_text" as the reference
relocation symbol, or the first symbol for the kernel, but use instead
"_stext", that is at the same address on x86_64 and others, but not on s390:
[acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$ head -15 /proc/kallsyms
0000000000000000 T _text
0000000000000418 t iplstart

00000000000112a0 T _ehead
0000000000100000 T _stext
[acme@localhost perf-4.11.0-rc6]$
Which in turn would make 'perf test vmlinux' to fail because it wouldn't find
the symbols before "_stext" in kallsyms.
Fix it by using the return value only for errors and storing the
address, when the symbol is successfully found, in a provided pointer
arg.

The current symbols__fixup_end() heuristic for the last entry in the rb
tree is suboptimal as it leads to not being able to recognize the symbol
in the call graph in a couple of corner cases, for example:
i) If the symbol has a start address (f.e. exposed via kallsyms)
that is at a page boundary, then the roundup(curr->start, 4096)
for the last entry will result in curr->start == curr->end with
a symbol length of zero.
ii) If the symbol has a start address that is shortly before a page
boundary, then also here, curr->end - curr->start will just be
very few bytes, where it's unrealistic that we could perform a
match against.
Instead, change the heuristic to roundup(curr->start, 4096) + 4096, so
that we can catch such corner cases and have a better chance to find
that specific symbol. It's still just best effort as the real end of the
symbol is unknown to us (and could even be at a larger offset than the
current range), but better than the current situation.
Alexei reported that he recently run into case i) with a JITed eBPF
program (these are all page aligned) as the last symbol which wasn't
properly shown in the call graph (while other eBPF program symbols in
the rb tree were displayed correctly). Since this is a generic issue,
lets try to improve the heuristic a bit.

After commit 5baecbcd9c ("perf symbols: we can now read separate
debug-info files based on a build ID") and when --symfs option is used
perf failed to pick up symbols for file with the same name between host
and sysroot specified by --symfs option. One can see message like this:
bin/bash with build id 26f0062cb6950d4d1ab0fd9c43eae8b10ca42062 not found, continuing without symbols
It happens because code added by 5baecbcd9c opens files directly by
dso->long_name without symbol_conf.symfs consideration, which as result
picks one from the host. It reads its build ID and later even code finds
another proper file in directory pointed by --symfs perf ignores it
because build id mismatches.
Fix is to use __symbol__join_symfs to adjust file name according to
--symfs setting. If no --symfs passed the operation would noop and picks
the same host file as before.
Also note in latter tree after 5baecbcd9c commit additional check for
'!dso->has_build_id' was added, so to observe error condition 'perf
record' should run with --no-buildid, so perf.data itself would not have
build id for target binary in buildid perf section and 'perf report'
will pass '!dso->has_build_id' condition. Or target binary should not
have build id, but the same binary on host has build id, again
'!dso->has_build_id' will pass in this case and incorrect build id could
be read if --symfs is used.

Fixes a perf diff regression issue which was introduced by commit
5baecbcd9c ("perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files
based on a build ID")
The binary name could be same when perf diff different binaries. Build
id is used to distinguish between them.
However, the previous patch assumes the same binary name has same build
id. So it overwrites the build id according to the binary name,
regardless of whether the build id is set or not.
Check the has_build_id in dso__load. If the build id is already set, use
it.

Before this patch perf panics if kptr_restrict is set to 1 and perf is
owned by root with suid set:
$ whoami
wangnan
$ ls -l ./perf
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 19781908 Sep 21 19:29 /home/wangnan/perf
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
1
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
-1
$ ./perf record -a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$
The reason is that perf assumes it is allowed to read kptr from
/proc/kallsyms when euid is root, but in fact the kernel doesn't allow
reading kptr when euid and uid do not match with each other:
$ cp /bin/cat .
$ sudo chown root:root ./cat
$ sudo chmod u+s ./cat
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork
0000000000000000 T _do_fork <--- kptr is hidden even euid is root
$ sudo cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork
ffffffff81080230 T _do_fork
See lib/vsprintf.c for kernel side code.
This patch fixes this problem by checking both uid and euid.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.
So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.
Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

We can allow aliases to be kept, but we were checking this just when

code that calls symbol__fixup_duplicate() by making this function check

We need to initializa some fields (right now just a mutex) when we
allocate the per symbol annotation struct, so do it at the symbol
constructor instead of (ab)using the filter mechanism for that.
This way we remove one of the few cases we have for that symbol filter,
which will eventually led to removing it.

The current method for inserting symbols is to use the symbols__insert()
function. However symbols__insert() does not update the dso symbol
cache. This causes problems in the following scenario:
1. symbol not found at addr using dso__find_symbol
2. symbol inserted at addr using the existing symbols__insert function
3. symbol still not found at addr using dso__find_symbol() because cache isn't
updated. This is undesired behavior.
The undesired behavior in (3) is addressed by creating a new function,
dso__insert_symbol() to both insert the symbol and update the symbol
cache if necessary.
If dso__insert_symbol() is used in (2) instead of symbols__insert(),
then the undesired behavior in (3) is avoided.

This change introduces a fix to symbols__find, so that it is able to
find symbols of length zero (where start == end).
The current code has the following problem:
- The current implementation of symbols__find is unable to find any symbols
of length zero.
- The db-export framework explicitly creates zero length symbols at
locations where no symbol currently exists.
The combination of the two above behaviors results in behavior similar
to the example below.
1. addr_location is created for a sample, but symbol is unable to be
resolved.
2. db export creates an "unknown" symbol of length zero at that address
and inserts it into the dso.
3. A new sample comes in at the same address, but symbol__find is unable
to find the zero length symbol, so it is still unresolved.
4. db export sees the symbol is unresolved, and allocated a duplicate
symbol, even though it already did this in step 2.
This behavior continues every time an address without symbol information
is seen, which causes a very large number of these symbols to be
allocated.
The effect of this fix can be observed by looking at the contents of an
exported database before/after the fix (generated with
scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py)
Ex.
BEFORE THE CHANGE:
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
count
--------
900213
(1 row)
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name='unknown';
count
--------

example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name!='unknown';

-------

Before the support for using /proc/kcore was introduced, the kallsyms
routines used /proc/modules and the first 'perf test' entry expected
finding maps for each module in the system, which is not the case with
the kcore code. Provide a way to ignore kcore files so that the test can
have its expectations met.
Improving the test to cover kcore files as well needs to be done.

The fprintf_sym() and fprintf_callchain() methods now allow users to

The current patch doesn't change tools to use this facility, the results
from 'perf trace' and 'perf script' cotinue like:

Before this patch, if a sample is triggered inside a module not in
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/, even if the module is in buildid-cache, 'perf
report' will still be unable to find the correct symbol. For example:
# rm -rf ~/.debug/
# perf buildid-cache -a ./mymodule.ko
# perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko -a get_mymodule_val
Added new event:
probe:get_mymodule_val (on get_mymodule_val in mymodule)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:get_mymodule_val -aR sleep 1
# perf record -e probe:get_mymodule_val cat /proc/mymodule
mymodule:3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
# perf report --stdio
[SNIP]
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ....... ................ ......................
#
100.00% cat [mymodule] [k] 0x0000000000000001
# perf report -vvvv --stdio
dso__load_sym: adjusting symbol: st_value: 0 sh_addr: 0 sh_offset: 0x70
symbol__new: get_mymodule_val 0x70-0x8a
[SNIP]
This is caused by dso__load() -> dso__load_sym(). In dso__load(), kmod
is true only when its file is found in some well know directories. All
files loaded from buildid-cache are treated as user programs. Following
dso__load_sym() set map->pgoff incorrectly.
This patch gives kernel modules in buildid-cache a chance to adjust
value of kmod. After dso__load() get the type of symbols, if it is
buildid, check the last 3 chars of original filename against '.ko', and
adjust the value of kmod if the file is a kernel module.

Also 'perf report' also requires the --group option to enable it.
However it's almost always beneficial to use the group view to see the
group events as it's more expressive. And I think it's more natural to
see events together if they are recorded as a group.
Thus this patch changes the default value to enable it. If users don't
want to see like it and keep the original behavior, they can set the
report.group config variable to false and/or use --no-group option in
the 'perf report' command line.

Currently when debuginfo is separated to vmlinux.debug, it's contents
get ignored. Let's change that and add it to the vmlinux_path list.

When the root user tries to read a file owned by some other user we get:
# ls -la perf.data
-rw-------. 1 acme acme 20032 Nov 12 15:50 perf.data
# perf report
File perf.data not owned by current user or root (use -f to override)
# perf report -f | grep -v ^# | head -2
30.96% ls [kernel.vmlinux] [k] do_set_pte
28.24% ls libc-2.20.so [.] intel_check_word
#
That wasn't happening when the symbol code tried to read a JIT map,
where the same check was done but no forcing was possible, fix it.

Normally symbols are read from the DSO and adjusted, if need be, so that
the symbol start matches the file offset in the DSO file (we want the
file offset because that is what we know from MMAP events). That is done
by dso__load_sym() which inserts the symbols *after* adjusting them.
In the case of kcore, the symbols have been read from kallsyms and the
symbol start is the memory address. The symbols have to be adjusted to
match the kcore file offsets. dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore() does that,
but now the adjustment is being done *after* the symbols have been
inserted. It appears dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore() was assuming that
changing the symbol start would not change the order in the rbtree -
which is, of course, not guaranteed.

Currently we split symbols based on the map comparison, but symbols are stored
within dso objects and maps could point into same dso objects (kernel maps).
Hence we could end up changing rbtree we are currently iterating and mess it
up. It's easily reproduced on s390x by running:
$ perf record -a -- sleep 3
$ perf buildid-list -i perf.data --with-hits
The fix is to compare dso objects instead.

Recent GDB (at least on a vanilla Debian box) looks for debug information in
/usr/lib/debug/.build-id/nn/nnnnnnn
where nn/nnnnnn is the build-id of the stripped ELF binary. This is
documented here:
https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Separate-Debug-Files.html
This was not working in perf because we didn't read the build id until
AFTER we searched for the separate debug information file. This patch
reads the build ID and THEN does the search.

Not as the first attempt at finding a vmlinux for the running kernel,
this way we get a more informative filename to present in tools, it will
check that the build-id is the same as the one previously loaded in the
DSO in dso->build_id, reading from /sys/kernel/notes, for instance.
E.g. in the annotation TUI, going from 'perf top', for the scsi_sg_alloc
kernel function, in the first line:
Before:
scsi_sg_alloc /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1

scsi_sg_alloc /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux

It is about binding, not type, we have just a letter in kallsyms that
should map both for the ELF type (STT_FUNC, etc) and to the ELF
symbol binding (STB_WEAK, STB_GLOBAL, etc), so rename it now before
introducing kallsyms2_elf_type()
