'perf trace -s list' prints a list of the supported scripting languages. One problem with it is that it falls through and prints the trace as well. The use of 'list' for this also makes it easy to confuse with 'perf trace -l', used for listing available scripts. So change 'perf trace -s list' to 'perf trace -s lang' and fixes the fall-through problem. Signed-off-by:

In 2161db96 we stopped failing when not finding modules when asked too, but then the kernel maps (just one, for vmlinux) wasn't having its ->end field correctly set up, so symbols were not being found for the vmlinux map because its range was 0-0. Reported-by:

First, for programs and prelinked libraries, annotate code was fooled by objdump output IPs (src->eip in the code) being wrongly converted to absolute IPs. In such case there were no conversion needed, but in src->eip = strtoull(src->line, NULL, 16); src->eip = map->unmap_ip(map, src->eip); // = eip + map->start - map->pgoff we were reading absolute address from objdump (e.g. 8048604) and then almost doubling it, because eip & map->start are approximately close for small programs. Needless to say, that later, in record_precise_ip() there was no matching with real runtime IPs. And second, like with `perf annotate` the problem with non-prelinked *.so was that we were doing rip -> objdump address conversion wrong. Also, because unlike `perf annotate`, `perf top` code does annotation based on absolute IPs for performance reasons(*), new helper for mapping objdump addresse to IP is introduced. (*) we get samples info in absolute IPs, and since we do lots of hit-testing on absolute IPs at runtime in record_precise_ip(), it's better to convert objdump addresses to IPs once and do no conversion at runtime. I also had to fix how objdump output is parsed (with hardcoded 8/16 characters format, which was inappropriate for ET_DYN dsos with small addresses like '4ac') Also note, that not all objdump output lines has associtated IPs, e.g. look at source lines here: 000004ac <my_strlen>: extern "C" int my_strlen(const char *s) 4ac: 55 push %ebp 4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp { int len = 0; 4b2: c7 45 fc 00 00 00 00 movl $0x0,-0x4(%ebp) 4b9: eb 08 jmp 4c3 <my_strlen+0x17> while (*s) { ++len; 4bb: 83 45 fc 01 addl $0x1,-0x4(%ebp) ++s; 4bf: 83 45 08 01 addl $0x1,0x8(%ebp) So we mark them with eip=0, and ignore such lines in annotate lookup code.

We cannot assume that because hwc->idx == assign[i], we can avoid reprogramming the counter in hw_perf_enable(). The event may have been scheduled out and another event may have been programmed into this counter. Thus, we need a more robust way of verifying if the counter still contains config/data related to an event. This patch adds a generation number to each counter on each cpu. Using this mechanism we can verify reliabilty whether the content of a counter corresponds to an event. Signed-off-by:

Introducing *_text_reserved functions for checking the text address range is partially reserved or not. This patch provides checking routines for x86 smp alternatives and dynamic ftrace. Since both functions modify fixed pieces of kernel text, they should reserve and protect those from other dynamic text modifier, like kprobes. This will also be extended when introducing other subsystems which modify fixed pieces of kernel text. Dynamic text modifiers should avoid those. Signed-off-by:

By relying on logic in dso__load_kernel_sym(), we can automatically load vmlinux. The only thing which needs to be adjusted, is how --sym-annotate option is handled - now we can't rely on vmlinux been loaded until full successful pass of dso__load_vmlinux(), but that's not the case if we'll do sym_filter_entry setup in symbol_filter(). So move this step right after event__process_sample() where we know the whole dso__load_kernel_sym() pass is done. By the way, though conceptually similar `perf top` still can't annotate userspace - see next patches with fixes. Signed-off-by:

The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look: For simple ET_DYN type DSO (*.so) with one function, objdump -dS output is something like this: 000004ac <my_strlen>: int my_strlen(const char *s) 4ac: 55 push %ebp 4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp { i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there. For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs, e.g. 08048604 <zz_strlen>: extern "C" int zz_strlen(const char *s) 8048604: 55 push %ebp 8048605: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 8048607: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp { So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(*), we'll have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for ET_DYN cases. (*) and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym() Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was empty. The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from non-prelinked *.so had always 0.00% percents only, which is wrong. To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to understand it.

While debugging a problem reported by Pekka Enberg by printing the IP and all the maps for a thread when we don't find a map for an IP I noticed that dso__load_sym needs to fixup these extra maps it creates to hold symbols in different ELF sections than the main kernel one. Now we're back showing things like: [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf report | grep vsyscall 0.02% mutt [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet 0.01% named [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet 0.01% NetworkManager [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet 0.01% gconfd-2 [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_0 [.] vgettimeofday 0.01% hald-addon-rfki [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet 0.00% dbus-daemon [kernel.kallsyms].vsyscall_fn [.] vread_hpet [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# Signed-off-by: -

I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file, events, etc, so I untied these layers. This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the main kernel map.
