* perf symbols: Fix kallsyms perf test on ppc64leNaveen N. Rao2016-05-051-8/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf powerpc: Fix kprobe and kretprobe handling with kallsyms on ppc64leNaveen N. Rao2016-05-051-5/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf probe ppc64le: Fixup function entry if using kallsyms lookupNaveen N. Rao2015-05-041-0/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On powerpc ABIv2, if no debug-info is found and we use kallsyms, we need to fixup the function entry to point to the local entry point. Use offset of 8 since current toolchains always generate 2 instructions (8 bytes). Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

* perf probe ppc64le: Prefer symbol table lookup over DWARFNaveen N. Rao2015-05-041-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as described here: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638 "The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function, both global and local entry points." ... "If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point, and what its offset from the global entry point is. Note that GDB does the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry." Signed-off-by: Naveen N.

* perf probe ppc: Enable matching against dot symbols automaticallyNaveen N. Rao2015-05-041-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow perf probe to work on ppc ABIv1 without the need to specify the leading dot '.' for functions. 'perf probe do_fork' works with this patch. We do this by changing how symbol name comparison works on ppc ABIv1 - we simply ignore and skip over the initial dot, if one exists, during symbol name comparison. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
