Thomas Richter b31a8cc1a5 perf test: Adapt test case record+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh for s390
perf test case 58 (record+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh) executed on s390x
using kernel 4.16.0rc3 displays this result:

 # perf trace --no-syscalls -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1
     probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ffa0240448)
	      __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
	      gaih_inet (inlined)
	      __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined)
	      main (/usr/bin/ping)
	      __libc_start_main (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
	     _start (/usr/bin/ping)

After I installed kernel 4.16.0 the same tests uses commands:

 # perf record -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/
      -o /tmp/perf.data.abc ping -6 -c 1 ::1
 # perf script -i /tmp/perf.data.abc

and displays:

 ping 39048 [006] 84230.381198: probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ffa0240448)
	       140448 __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
	       fbde1 gaih_inet (inlined)
	       fe2b9 __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined)
	        398d main (/usr/bin/ping)

Nothing else changed including glibc elfutils and other libraries picked
up by the build.

The entries for __libc_start_main and _start are missing.

I bisected missing __libc_start_main and _start to commit

Fixes: 3d20c62466 ("perf unwind: Unwind with libdw doesn't take symfs into account")

When I undo this commit I get this call stack on s390:
 [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf script  -i /tmp/perf.data.abc
 ping 39048 [006] 84230.381198: probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ffa0240448)
	140448 __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
	 fbde1 gaih_inet (inlined)
	 fe2b9 __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined)
	  398d main (/usr/bin/ping)
	 22fbd __libc_start_main (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
	  457b _start (/usr/bin/ping)

Looks like dwarf functions dwfl_xxx create different call back stack
trace when using file /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ping-20161105-7.fc27.s390x.debug
instead of file /usr/bin/ping.

Fix this test case on s390 and do not expect any call back stack entry
after the main() function. Also be more robust and accept a leading
__GI_ prefix in front of getaddrinfo.

On x86 this test case shows the same call stack using both kernel
versions 4.16.0rc3 and 4.16.0 and also stops at main:

  [root@f27 perf]# ./perf script -i /tmp/perf.data.tmr
  ping  4446 [000]   172.027088: probe_libc:inet_pton: (7fdfa08c93c0)
	             1393c0 __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
	              fe60d getaddrinfo (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so)
	               2f40 main (/usr/bin/ping)
  [root@f27 perf]#

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
