x86 retpoline functions pollute the call graph by showing up everywhere there is an indirect branch, but they do not really mean anything. Make changes so that the default retpoline functions will no longer appear in the call graph. Note this only affects the call graph, since all the original branches are left unchanged. This does not handle function return thunks, nor is there any improvement for the handling of inline thunks or extern thunks. Example: $ cat simple-retpoline.c __attribute__((noinline)) int bar(void) { return -1; } int foo(void) { return bar() + 1; } __attribute__((indirect_branch("thunk"))) int main() { int (*volatile fn)(void) = foo; fn(); return fn(); } $ gcc -ggdb3 -Wall -Wextra -O2 -o simple-retpoline simple-retpoline.c $ objdump -d simple-retpoline <SNIP> 0000000000001040 <main>: 1040: 48 83 ec 18 sub $0x18,%rsp 1044: 48 8d 05 25 01 00 00 lea 0x125(%rip),%rax # 1170 <foo> 104b: 48 89 44 24 08 mov %rax,0x8(%rsp) 1050: 48 8b 44 24 08 mov 0x8(%rsp),%rax 1055: e8 1f 01 00 00 callq 1179 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax> 105a: 48 8b 44 24 08 mov 0x8(%rsp),%rax 105f: 48 83 c4 18 add $0x18,%rsp 1063: e9 11 01 00 00 jmpq 1179 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax> <SNIP> 0000000000001160 <bar>: 1160: b8 ff ff ff ff mov $0xffffffff,%eax 1165: c3 retq <SNIP> 0000000000001170 <foo>: 1170: e8 eb ff ff ff callq 1160 <bar> 1175: 83 c0 01 add $0x1,%eax 1178: c3 retq 0000000000001179 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax>: 1179: e8 07 00 00 00 callq 1185 <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax+0xc> 117e: f3 90 pause 1180: 0f ae e8 lfence 1183: eb f9 jmp 117e <__x86_indirect_thunk_rax+0x5> 1185: 48 89 04 24 mov %rax,(%rsp) 1189: c3 retq <SNIP> $ perf record -o simple-retpoline.perf.data -e intel_pt/cyc/u ./simple-retpoline [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0,017 MB simple-retpoline.perf.data ] $ perf script -i simple-retpoline.perf.data --itrace=be -s ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/export-to-sqlite.py simple-retpoline.db branches calls 2019-01-08 14:03:37.851655 Creating database... 2019-01-08 14:03:37.863256 Writing records... 2019-01-08 14:03:38.069750 Adding indexes 2019-01-08 14:03:38.078799 Done $ ~/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/exported-sql-viewer.py simple-retpoline.db Before: main -> __x86_indirect_thunk_rax -> __x86_indirect_thunk_rax -> foo -> bar After: main -> foo -> bar Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190109091835.5570-7-adrian.hunter@intel.com [ Remove (sym->name != NULL) test, this is not a pointer and breaks the build with clang version 7.0.1 (Fedora 7.0.1-2.fc30) ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
