perf probe ppc64le: Fixup function entry if using kallsyms lookup

2015-05-04T15:43:47+00:00

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 DWARF

2015-05-04T15:43:46+00:00

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 ppc64le: Fix ppc64 ABIv2 symbol decoding

2015-05-04T15:43:45+00:00

ppc64 ELF ABIv2 has a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry Point (LEP). For purposes of probing, we need the LEP - the offset to which is encoded in st_other.

perf probe ppc: Enable matching against dot symbols automatically

2015-05-04T15:43:44+00:00

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.

perf probe ppc: Use the right prefix when ignoring SyS symbols on ppc

perf probe ppc: Fix symbol fixup issues due to ELF type

2015-05-04T15:43:42+00:00

If using the symbol table, symbol addresses are not being fixed up properly, resulting in probes being placed at wrong addresses: # perf probe do_fork Added new event: probe:do_fork (on do_fork) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:do_fork -aR sleep 1 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/do_fork _text+635952 # printf "%x" 635952 9b430 # grep do_fork /boot/System.map c0000000000ab430 T .do_fork Fix by checking for ELF type ET_DYN used by ppc64 kernels.

perf build: Add arch x86 objects building

Move the x86 arch objects building under build framework to be included in the libperf build object. Adding also arch/$(ARCH)/Build files for the rest of the archs. The reason for this is that in arch/Build we now do: +libperf-y += $(ARCH)/ which would make the build to fail on other architectures, because the build framework requires 'Build' file in nested directories and this patch adds it only for x86.
