perf callchain: Compare symbol name for inlined frames when matching
The fake symbols we create for inlined frames will represent different functions but can use the symbol start address. This leads to issues when different inline branches all lead to the same function. Before: ~~~~~ $ perf report -s sym -i perf.inlining.data --inline --stdio -g function ... --38.86%--_start __libc_start_main main | --37.57%--std::norm<double> (inlined) std::_Norm_helper<true>::_S_do_it<double> (inlined) | --36.36%--std::abs<double> (inlined) std::__complex_abs (inlined) | --12.24%--std::linear_congruential_engine<unsigned long, 16807ul, 0ul, 2147483647ul>::operator() (inlined) std::__detail::__mod<unsigned long, 2147483647ul, 16807ul, 0ul> (inlined) std::__detail::_Mod<unsigned long, 2147483647ul, 16807ul, 0ul, true, true>::__calc (inlined) ~~~~~ Note that this backtrace representation is completely bogus. Complex abs does not call the linear congruential engine! It is just a side-effect of a longer inlined stack being appended to a shorter, different inlined stack, both of which originate in the same function (main). This patch fixes the issue: ~~~~~ $ perf report -s sym -i perf.inlining.data --inline --stdio -g function ... --38.86%--_start __libc_start_main main | |--35.59%--std::uniform_real_distribution<double>::operator()<std::linear_congruential_engine<unsigned long, 16807ul, 0ul, 2147483647ul> > (inlined) | std::uniform_real_distribution<double>::operator()<std::linear_congruential_engine<unsigned long, 16807ul, 0ul, 2147483647ul> > (inlined) | | | --34.37%--std::__detail::_Adaptor<std::linear_congruential_engine<unsigned long, 16807ul, 0ul, 2147483647ul>, double>::operator() (inlined) | std::generate_canonical<double, 53ul, std::linear_congruential_engine<unsigned long, 16807ul, 0ul, 2147483647ul> > (inlined) | | | --12.24%--std::linear_congruential_engine<unsigned long, 16807ul, 0ul, 2147483647ul>::operator() (inlined) | std::__detail::__mod<unsigned long, 2147483647ul, 16807ul, 0ul> (inlined) | std::__detail::_Mod<unsigned long, 2147483647ul, 16807ul, 0ul, true, true>::__calc (inlined) | --1.99%--std::norm<double> (inlined) std::_Norm_helper<true>::_S_do_it<double> (inlined) std::abs<double> (inlined) std::__complex_abs (inlined) ~~~~~ Signed-off-by: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Reviewed-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Yao Jin <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171009203310.17362-10-milian.wolff@kdab.com Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> [ Fix up conflict with c1fbc0cf ("perf callchain: Compare dsos (as well) for CCKEY_FUNCTION"), remove unneeded hunk ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
