      perf report: Cache srclines for callchain nodes · 21ac9d54
      Milian Wolff authored
      On one hand this ensures that the memory is properly freed when the DSO
      gets freed. On the other hand this significantly speeds up the
      processing of the callchain nodes when lots of srclines are requested.

      Note that the difference is only this large when `--inline` is not
      passed. In such situations, we would use the inliner cache and thus do
      not run this code path that often.
      
      I think that this cache should actually be used in other places, too.
      When looking at the valgrind leak report for perf report, we see tons of
      srclines being leaked, most notably from calls to
      hist_entry__get_srcline. The problem is that get_srcline has many
      different formatting options (show_sym, show_addr, potentially even
      unwind_inlines when calling __get_srcline directly). As such, the
      srcline cannot easily be cached for all calls, or we'd have to add
      caches for all formatting combinations (6 so far). An alternative would
      be to remove the formatting options and handle that on a different level
      - i.e. print the sym/addr on demand wherever we actually output
      something. And the unwind_inlines could be moved into a separate
      function that does not return the srcline.

      perf report: Cache failed lookups of inlined frames · b38775cf
      Milian Wolff authored
      When no inlined frames could be found for a given address, we did not
      store this information anywhere. That means we potentially do the costly
      inliner lookup repeatedly for cases where we know it can never succeed.
      
      This patch makes dso__parse_addr_inlines always return a valid
      inline_node. It will be empty when no inliners are found. This enables
      us to cache the empty list in the DSO, thereby improving the performance
      when many addresses fail to find the inliners.
      
      For my trivial example, the performance impact is already quite
      significant:

      perf report: Properly handle branch count in match_chain() · bf36eb5c
      Milian Wolff authored
      Some of the code paths I introduced before returned too early without
      running the code to handle a node's branch count.  By refactoring
      match_chain to only have one exit point, this can be remedied.

      perf report: Compare symbol name for inlined frames when sorting · aa441895
      Milian Wolff authored
      Similar to the callstack frame matching, we also have to compare the
      symbol name when sorting hist entries. The reason is twofold: On one
      hand, multiple inlined functions will use the same symbol start/end
      values of the parent, non-inlined symbol.
      
      As such, all of these symbols often end up missing from top-level
      report, as they get merged with the non-inlined frame. On the other
      hand, multiple different functions may end up inlining the same
      function, and we need to aggregate these values properly.

      perf callchain: Compare symbol name for inlined frames when matching · 9856240a

      The fake symbols we create for inlined frames will represent different

      when different inline branches all lead to the same function.

      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).

      perf callchain: Mark inlined frames in output by " (inlined)" suffix · 8932f807
      Milian Wolff authored
      The original patch that introduced inline frame output in the various
      browsers used this suffix already. The new centralized approach that
      uses fake symbols for inlined frames was missing this approach so far.
      
      Instead of changing the symbol name itself, we only print the suffix
      where needed. This allows us to efficiently lookup the symbol for a
      given name without first having to append the suffix before the lookup.

      perf report: Fall-back to function name comparison for -g srcline · cbe50f61
      Milian Wolff authored
      When a callchain entry has no srcline available, we ended up comparing
      the instruction pointer. I consider this to be not too useful. Rather, I
      think we should group the entries by function name, which this patch
      adds. For people who want to split the data on the IP boundary, using
      `-g address` is the correct choice.

      perf callchain: Create real callchain entries for inlined frames · 11ea2515
      Milian Wolff authored
      The inline_node structs are maintained by the new dso->inlines tree.
      This in turn keeps ownership of the fake symbols and srcline string
      representing an inline frame.
      
      This tree is sorted by address to allow quick lookups. All other entries
      of the symbol beside the function name are unused for inline frames. The
      advantage of this approach is that all existing users of the callchain
      API can now transparently display inlined frames without having to patch
      their code.

      Milian Wolff authored
      This is a preparation for the creation of real callchain entries for
      inlined frames. The rest of the perf code uses the srcline string. As
      such, using that also for the srcline API allows us to simplify some of
      the upcoming code. Most notably, it will allow us to cache the srcline
      for a given inline node and reuse it for different callchain entries.

      perf callchain: Refactor inline_list to operate on symbols · fea0cf84
      Milian Wolff authored
      This is a requirement to create real callchain entries for inlined
      frames.
      
      Since the list of inlines usually contains the target symbol too, i.e.
      the location where the frames get inlined to, we alias that symbol and
      reuse it as-is is. This ensures that other dependent functionality keeps
      working, most notably annotation of the target frames.
      
      For all other entries in the inline_list, a fake symbol is created.
      These are marked by new 'inlined' member which is set to true. Only
      those symbols are managed by the inline_list and get freed when the
      inline_list is deleted from within inline_node__delete.

      perf callchain: Store srcline in callchain_cursor_node · 40a342cd
      Milian Wolff authored
      This is mostly a preparation to enable the creation of full callchain
      nodes for inline frames. Such frames will reference the IP of the
      non-inlined frame, but hold the symbol and srcline for an inlined
      location. As such, we won't be able to query the srcline on-demand based
      on the IP alone. Instead, we will leverage the functionality provided by
      this patch here, and store the srcline for the inlined nodes in the new
      srcline member of callchain_cursor_node.
      
      Note that this patch on its own leaks the srcline, as there is no
      free_callchain_cursor_node or similar. A future patch will add caching
      of the srcline and handle deletion properly.
