From 2be732c02adb15ed7f2196f075fe63ba6991642c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue, 5 Jun 2018 17:06:57 -0300 Subject: perf symbols: Add BSS symbols when reading from /proc/kallsyms We were not considering 'B' and 'b' (BSS, uninitialized data objects, that gets set to zero at program start), do it so that we can resolve more symbols in tools doing resolution of data operands, like 'perf c2c'. When using vmlinux, i.e. an ELF symbol table, those were already considered, as the decision was about STT_FUNC or STT_OBJECT, and the later covers BSS symbols. # grep -i ' b ' /proc/kallsyms | head -20 | tail -5 ffffffffa789d030 b execute_command ffffffffa789d038 b initcall_command_line ffffffffa789d040 b static_command_line ffffffffa789d048 B ROOT_DEV ffffffffa789d050 b once.73786 # # readelf -s /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/vmlinux | grep ROOT_DEV 79219: ffffffff8289d048 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT 58 ROOT_DEV # Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Wang Nan Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-z960xobig39ca1pmp5brl2fr@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/symbol.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'tools/perf/util') diff --git a/tools/perf/util/symbol.c b/tools/perf/util/symbol.c index 3f632c6..d188b75 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/symbol.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/symbol.c @@ -73,7 +73,7 @@ static enum dso_binary_type binary_type_symtab[] = { static bool symbol_type__filter(char symbol_type) { symbol_type = toupper(symbol_type); - return symbol_type == 'T' || symbol_type == 'W' || symbol_type == 'D'; + return symbol_type == 'T' || symbol_type == 'W' || symbol_type == 'D' || symbol_type == 'B'; } static int prefix_underscores_count(const char *str) -- cgit v1.1
