When an IP with an unresolved symbol occurs in the callchain more than
once (ie. recursion), then duplicate symbols can be created because
the callchain nodes are never updated after they are first created.
To fix this issue we call dso__find_symbol whenever we encounter a NULL
symbol, in case we already added a symbol at that IP since we started
traversing the callchain.
This change prevents duplicate symbols from being exported when duplicate
IPs are present in the callchain.

Remove the call to map_ip() to adjust al.addr, because it has already
been called when assembling the callchain, in:
thread__resolve_callchain_sample(perf_sample)
add_callchain_ip(ip = perf_sample->callchain->ips[j])
thread__find_addr_location(addr = ip)
thread__find_addr_map(addr) {
al->addr = addr
if (al->map)
al->addr = al->map->map_ip(al->map, al->addr);
}
Calling it a second time can result in incorrect addresses being used.
This can have effects such as duplicate symbols being created and
exported.

If the cache is not updated, then duplicate symbols can be

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
--------
897355

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

-------

The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can

Update the export-to-postgresql.py to support the newly introduced
callchain export.
callchains are added into the existing call_paths table and can now
be associated with samples when the "callpaths" commandline option
is used with the script.
Ex.:
$ perf script -s export-to-postgresql.py example_db all callchains
Includes the following changes to enable callchain export via the python export
APIs:
- Add the "callchains" commandline option, which is used to enable
callchain export by setting the perf_db_export_callchains global
- Add perf_db_export_callchains checks for call_path table creation
and population.
- Add call_path_id to samples_table to conform with the new API
example usage and output using a small test app:
test_app.c:
volatile int x = 0;
void inc_x_loop()
{
int i;
for(i=0; i<100000000; i++)
x++;
}
void a()
{
inc_x_loop();
}
void b()
{
inc_x_loop();
}
int main()
{
a();
b();
return 0;
}
example usage:
$ gcc -g -O0 test_app.c
$ perf record --call-graph=dwarf ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 77 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 19.373 MB perf.data (2404 samples) ]
$ perf script -s scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py
example_db all callchains
$ psql example_db
example_db=#
SELECT
(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id = cps.symbol_id) as symbol,
(SELECT name FROM symbols WHERE id =
(SELECT symbol_id from call_paths where id = cps.parent_id))
as parent_symbol,
sum(period) as event_count
FROM samples join call_paths as cps on call_path_id = cps.id
GROUP BY cps.id,evsel_id
ORDER BY event_count DESC
LIMIT 5;
symbol | parent_symbol | event_count
------------------+--------------------------+-------------
inc_x_loop | a | 734250982
inc_x_loop | b | 731028057
unknown | unknown | 1335858
task_tick_fair | scheduler_tick | 1238842
update_wall_time | tick_do_update_jiffies64 | 650373
(5 rows)
The above data shows total "self time" in cycles for each call path that was
sampled. It is intended to demonstrate how it accounts separately for the two
ways to reach the "inc_x_loop" function(via "a" and "b"). Recursive common
table expressions can be used as well to get cumulative time spent in a
function as well, but that is beyond the scope of this basic example.

This change allows python scripts to be able to utilize the recent
changes to the db export api allowing the export of call_paths derived
from sampled callchains. These call paths are also now associated with
the samples from which they were derived.
- This feature is enabled by setting "perf_db_export_callchains" to true
- When enabled, samples that have callchain information will have the
callchains exported via call_path_table
- The call_path_id field is added to sample_table to enable association of
samples with the corresponding callchain stored in the call paths
table. A call_path_id of 0 will be exported if there is no
corresponding callchain.
- When "perf_db_export_callchains" and "perf_db_export_calls" are both
set to True, the call path root data structure will be shared. This
prevents duplicating of data and call path ids that would result from
building two separate call path trees in memory.
- The call_return_processor structure definition was relocated to the header
file to make its contents visible to db-export.c. This enables the
sharing of call path trees between the two features, as mentioned
above.
This change is visible to python scripts using the python db export api.
The change is backwards compatible with scripts written against the
previous API, assuming that the scripts model the sample_table function
after the one in export-to-postgresql.py script by allowing for
additional arguments to be added in the future. ie. using *x as the
final argument of the sample_table function.

The exported sample now contains a reference to the call_path_id that
represents its callchain.
While callchains themselves are nice to have, being able to associate
them with samples makes them much more useful, and can allow for such
things as determining how much cumulative time is spent in a particular
function. This information is normally possible to get from the call
return processor. However, when doing normal sampling, call/return
information is not available, thus necessitating the need for
associating samples directly with call paths.
This commit include changes to db-export layer to make this information
available for subsequent patches in this change set, but by itself, does
not make any changes visible to the user.

This change enables the db export api to export callchains. This is
accomplished by adding callchains obtained from samples to the
call_path_root structure and exporting them via the current call path
export API.
While the current API does support exporting call paths, this is not
supported when sampling. This commit addresses that missing feature by
allowing the export of call paths when callchains are present in
samples.
Summary:
- This feature is activated by initializing the call_path_root member
inside the db_export structure to a non-null value.
- Callchains are resolved with thread__resolve_callchain() and then stored
and exported by adding a call path under call path root.
- Symbol and DSO for each callchain node are exported via db_ids_from_al()
This commit puts in place infrastructure to be used by subsequent commits,
and by itself, does not introduce any user-visible changes.

Move the call path handling code out of thread-stack.c and
thread-stack.h to allow other components that are not part of
thread-stack to create call paths.
Summary:
- Create call-path.c and call-path.h and add them to the build.
- Move all call path related code out of thread-stack.c and thread-stack.h
and into call-path.c and call-path.h.
- A small subset of structures and functions are now visible through
call-path.h, which is required for thread-stack.c to continue to
compile.
This change is a prerequisite for subsequent patches in this change set
and by itself contains no user-visible changes.

The existing implementation of thread__resolve_callchain, under certain
circumstances, can assemble callchain entries in the incorrect order.
The callchain entries are resolved incorrectly for a sample when all of
the following conditions are met:
1. callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER
2. thread__resolve_callchain_sample is able to resolve callchain entries
for the sample.
3. unwind__get_entries is also able to resolve callchain entries for the
sample.
The fix is accomplished by reversing the order in which
thread__resolve_callchain_sample and unwind__get_entries are called when
callchain_param.order is set to ORDER_CALLER.
Unwind specific code from thread__resolve_callchain is also moved into a
new static function to improve readability of the fix.
How to Reproduce the Existing Bug:
Modifying perf script to print call trees in the opposite order or
applying the remaining patches from this series and comparing the
results output from export-to-postgtresql.py are the easiest ways to see
the bug, however it can still be seen in current builds using perf
report.
Here is how i can reproduce the bug using perf report:
# perf record --call-graph=dwarf stress -c 1 -t 5
when i run this command:
# perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,callee
This callchain, containing kernel (handle_irq_event, etc) and userspace
samples (__libc_start_main, etc) is contained in the output, which looks
correct (callee order):
gen8_irq_handler
handle_irq_event_percpu
handle_irq_event
handle_edge_irq
handle_irq
do_IRQ
ret_from_intr
__random
rand
0x558f2a04dded
0x558f2a04c774
__libc_start_main
0x558f2a04dcd9
Now run this command using caller order:
# perf report --call-graph=flat,0,0,caller
It is expected to see the exact reverse of the above when using caller
order (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler" at the
bottom) in the output, but it is nowhere to be found.
instead you see this:
ret_from_intr
do_IRQ
handle_irq
handle_edge_irq
handle_irq_event
handle_irq_event_percpu
gen8_irq_handler
0x558f2a04dcd9
__libc_start_main
0x558f2a04c774
0x558f2a04dded
rand
__random
Notice how internally the kernel symbols are reversed and the user space
symbols are reversed, but the kernel symbols still appear above the user
space symbols.
if this patch is applied and perf script is re-run, you will see the
expected output (with "0x558f2a04dcd9" at the top and "gen8_irq_handler"
at the bottom):
0x558f2a04dcd9
__libc_start_main
0x558f2a04c774
0x558f2a04dded
rand
__random
ret_from_intr
do_IRQ
handle_irq
handle_edge_irq
handle_irq_event
handle_irq_event_percpu
gen8_irq_handler

The test to check if the arg format had been read from the
syscall:sys_enter_name/format file was looking at the list of non-commom
fields, and if that is empty, it would think it had failed to read it,
because it doesn't exist, for instance, for the clone() syscall.
So instead before dumping the raw syscall args list check
IS_ERR(sc->tp_format), if that is true, then an attempt was made to read
the format file and failed, in which case dump the raw arg list values.

In perf_mmap__read(), give better names to pointers. Original name 'old'
and 'head' directly related to pointers in ring buffer control page. For
backward ring buffer, the meaning of 'head' point is not 'the first byte
of free space', but 'the first byte of the last record'. To reduce
confusion, rename 'old' to 'start', 'head' to 'end'. 'start' -> 'end'
is the direction the records should be read from.
Change parameter order.
Change 'overwrite' to 'check_messup'. When reading from 'head', no need
to check messup for for backward ring buffer.

ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.
To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.

So far, we used to treat probe point offsets as being offset from the
LEP. However, userspace applications (objdump/readelf) always show
disassembly and offsets from the function GEP. This is confusing to the
user as we will end up probing at an address different from what the
user expects when looking at the function disassembly with
readelf/objdump. Fix this by changing how we modify probe address with
perf.
If only the function name is provided, we assume the user needs the LEP.
Otherwise, if an offset is specified, we assume that the user knows the
exact address to probe based on function disassembly, and so we just
place the probe from the GEP offset.
Finally, kretprobe was also broken with kallsyms as we were trying to
specify an offset. This patch also fixes that issue.
