The passed dso_id is copied and so is never an out argument. Remove
its mutability.

Now that symsrc_filename is always accessed through an accessor, we also
need a free() function for it to avoid the following compilation error:

  util/unwind-libunwind-local.c:416:12: error: lvalue required as unary
    ‘&amp;’ operand
  416 |      zfree(&amp;dso__symsrc_filename(dso));

Perf test for perf probe of function from different CU fails
as below:

	./perf test -vv "test perf probe of function from different CU"
	116: test perf probe of function from different CU:
	--- start ---
	test child forked, pid 2679
	Failed to find symbol foo in /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.Msa7iy89bx/testfile
	  Error: Failed to add events.
	--- Cleaning up ---
	"foo" does not hit any event.
	  Error: Failed to delete events.
	---- end(-1) ----
	116: test perf probe of function from different CU                   : FAILED!

The test does below to probe function "foo" :

	# gcc -g -Og -flto -c /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.c
	-o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.o
	# gcc -g -Og -c /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.c
	-o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.o
	# gcc -g -Og -o /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile
	/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-foo.o
	/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile-main.o

	# ./perf probe -x /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile foo
	Failed to find symbol foo in /tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7/testfile
	   Error: Failed to add events.

Perf probe fails to find symbol foo in the executable placed in
/tmp/perf-uprobe-different-cu-sh.XniNxNEVT7

Simple reproduce:

 # mktemp -d /tmp/perf-checkXXXXXXXXXX
   /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j

 # gcc -g -o test test.c
 # cp test /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/
 # nm /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test | grep foo
   00000000100006bc T foo

 # ./perf probe -x /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test foo
   Failed to find symbol foo in /tmp/perf-checkcWpuLRQI8j/test
      Error: Failed to add events.

But it works with any files like /tmp/perf/test. Only for
patterns with "/tmp/perf-", this fails.

Further debugging, commit 80d496be89ed ("perf report: Add support
for profiling JIT generated code") added support for profiling JIT
generated code. This patch handles dso's of form
"/tmp/perf-$PID.map" .

The check used "if (strncmp(self-&gt;name, "/tmp/perf-", 10) == 0)"
to match "/tmp/perf-$PID.map". With this commit, any dso in
/tmp/perf- folder will be considered separately for processing
(not only JIT created map files ). Fix this by changing the
string pattern to check for "/tmp/perf-%d.map". Add a helper
function is_perf_pid_map_name to do this check. In "struct dso",
dso-&gt;long_name holds the long name of the dso file. Since the
/tmp/perf-$PID.map check uses the complete name, use dso___long_name for
the string name.

With the fix,
	# ./perf test "test perf probe of function from different CU"
	117: test perf probe of function from different CU                   : Ok

Fixes: 56cbeacf1435 ("perf probe: Add test for regression introduced by switch to die_get_decl_file()")

<title>perf dso: Use container_of() to avoid a pointer in 'struct dso_data'</title>

<id>urn:sha1:37862d6fdced70a72b5a06d8f3440f7c567d5272</id>
<content type='text'>
The dso pointer in 'struct dso_data' is necessary for reference count
checking to account for the dso_data forming a global list of open dso's
with references to the dso.

The dso pointer also allows for the indirection that reference count
checking needs. Outside of reference count checking the indirection
isn't needed and container_of() is more efficient and saves space.

The reference count won't be increased by placing items onto the global
list, matching how things were before the reference count checking
change, but we assert the dso is in dsos holding it live (and that the
set of open dsos is a subset of all dsos for the machine).

Update the DSO data tests so that they use a dsos struct to make the
invariant true.

<title>perf dso: Add reference count checking and accessor functions</title>

<content type='text'>
Add reference count checking to struct dso, this can help with
implementing correct reference counting discipline. To avoid
RC_CHK_ACCESS everywhere, add accessor functions for the variables in
struct dso.

The majority of the change is mechanical in nature and not easy to
split up.

Committer testing:

'perf test' up to this patch shows no regressions.

But:

  util/symbol.c: In function ‘dso__load_bfd_symbols’:
  util/symbol.c:1683:9: error: too few arguments to function ‘dso__set_adjust_symbols’
   1683 |         dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);
        |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  In file included from util/symbol.c:21:
  util/dso.h:268:20: note: declared here
    268 | static inline void dso__set_adjust_symbols(struct dso *dso, bool val)
        |                    ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  make[6]: *** [/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/build/Makefile.build:106: /tmp/tmp.ZWHbQftdN6/util/symbol.o] Error 1
    MKDIR   /tmp/tmp.ZWHbQftdN6/tests/workloads/
  make[6]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

This was updated:

  -       symbols__fixup_end(&amp;dso-&gt;symbols, false);
  -       symbols__fixup_duplicate(&amp;dso-&gt;symbols);
  -       dso-&gt;adjust_symbols = 1;
  +       symbols__fixup_end(dso__symbols(dso), false);
  +       symbols__fixup_duplicate(dso__symbols(dso));
  +       dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);

But not build tested with BUILD_NONDISTRO and libbfd devel files installed
(binutils-devel on fedora).

Add the missing argument:

   	symbols__fixup_end(dso__symbols(dso), false);
   	symbols__fixup_duplicate(dso__symbols(dso));
  -	dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso);
  +	dso__set_adjust_symbols(dso, true);

<title>perf dsos: Switch backing storage to array from rbtree/list</title>
<updated>2024-05-06T12:13:11+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=3f4ac23a990853ab5012037767281dfd4beb4b15'/>
<id>urn:sha1:3f4ac23a990853ab5012037767281dfd4beb4b15</id>
<content type='text'>
DSOs were held on a list for fast iteration and in an rbtree for fast
finds.

Switch to using a lazily sorted array where iteration is just iterating
through the array and binary searches are the same complexity as
searching the rbtree.

The find may need to sort the array first which does increase the
complexity, but add operations have lower complexity and overall the
complexity should remain about the same.

The set name operations on the dso just records that the array is no
longer sorted, avoiding complexity in rebalancing the rbtree.

Tighter locking discipline is enforced to avoid the array being resorted
while long and short names or ids are changed.

The array is smaller in size, replacing 6 pointers with 2, and so even
with extra allocated space in the array, the array may be 50%
unoccupied, the memory saving should be at least 2x.

Committer testing:

On a previous version of this patchset we were getting a lot of warnings
about deleting a DSO still on a list, now it is ok:

  root@x1:~# perf probe -l
  root@x1:~# perf probe finish_task_switch
  Added new event:
    probe:finish_task_switch (on finish_task_switch)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe:finish_task_switch -aR sleep 1

  root@x1:~# perf probe -l
    probe:finish_task_switch (on finish_task_switch@kernel/sched/core.c)
  root@x1:~# perf trace -e probe:finish_task_switch/max-stack=8/ --max-events=1
       0.000 migration/0/19 probe:finish_task_switch(__probe_ip: -1894408688)
                                         finish_task_switch.isra.0 ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         __schedule ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         schedule ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         smpboot_thread_fn ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         kthread ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         ret_from_fork ([kernel.kallsyms])
                                         ret_from_fork_asm ([kernel.kallsyms])
  root@x1:~#
  root@x1:~# perf probe -d probe:*
  Removed event: probe:finish_task_switch
  root@x1:~# perf probe -l
  root@x1:~#

I also ran the full 'perf test' suite after applying this one, no
regressions.

They are often searched by many different places.  Let's add a cache
for them to reduce the duplicate DWARF access.

To aggregate accesses to the same data type, add 'data_types' tree in
DSO to maintain data types and find it by name and size.

It might have different data types that happen to have the same name,
so it also compares the size of the type.

Even if it doesn't 100% guarantee, it reduces the possibility of
mis-handling of such conflicts.

And I don't think it's common to have different types with the same
name.

Committer notes:

Very few cases on the Linux kernel, but there are some different types
with the same name, unsure if there is a debug mode in libbpf dedup that
warns about such cases, but there are provisions in pahole for that,
see:

  "emit: Notice type shadowing, i.e. multiple types with the same name (enum, struct, union, etc)"

<title>tools/perf: Add "is_kmod" to struct dso to check if it is kernel module</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6be5d82862ee9b4e517dcfdfb064c2d671dbd45a</id>

Update "struct dso" to include new member "is_kmod".
This new field will determine if the file is a kernel
module or not.

To resolve the address from a sample, perf looks at the
DSO maps. In case of address from a kernel module, there
were some address found to be not resolved. This was
observed while running perf test for "Object code reading".
Though the ip falls beteen the start address of the loaded
module (perf map-&gt;start ) and end address ( perf map-&gt;end),
it was unresolved.

This was happening because in some cases for kernel
modules, address from sample points to stub instructions.
To identify if the DSO is a kernel module, the new field
"is_kmod" is added to "struct dso".
