perf annotate: Fix args leak of map_symbol

2026-03-04T12:19:26+00:00

[ Upstream commit 00419892bac28bf148450d762bbff990a6bd5494 ] map_symbol__exit() needs calling on an annotate_args.ms, however, rather than introduce proper reference count handling to symbol__annotate() just switch to passing the map_symbol pointer parameter around, making the puts the caller's responsibility. Fix a number of cases to ensure the map in a map_symbol has a reference count increment and add the then necessary map_symbol_exits.

perf srcline: Fallback between addr2line implementations

2025-10-06T19:47:49+00:00

Factor the addr2line function implementation into separate source files (addr2line.[ch]) and rename the addr2line function cmd__addr2line. In srcline replace the ifdef-ed addr2line implementations with one that first tries the llvm__addr2line implementation, then the deprecated libbfd__addr2line function and on failure uses cmd__addr2line. If HAVE_LIBLLVM_SUPPORT is enabled the llvm__addr2line will execute against the libLLVM.so it is linked against. If HAVE_LIBLLVM_DYNAMIC is enabled then libperf-llvm.so (that links against libLLVM.so) will be dlopened. If the dlopen succeeds then the behavior should match HAVE_LIBLLVM_SUPPORT. On failure cmd__addr2line is used. The dlopen is only tried once. If HAVE_LIBLLVM_DYNAMIC isn't enabled then llvm__addr2line immediately fails and cmd__addr2line is used. Clean up the dso__free_a2l logic, which is only needed in the non-LLVM version and moved to addr2line.c.

perf dso: Clean up read_symbol() error handling

2025-10-06T19:35:28+00:00

Ensure errno is set and return to caller for error handling. Unusually for perf the value isn't negated as expected by symbol__strerror_disassemble().

perf dso: Move read_symbol() from llvm/capstone to dso

2025-10-06T19:35:25+00:00

Move the read_symbol function to dso.h, make the return type const and add a mutable out_buf out parameter. In future changes this will allow a code pointer to be returned without necessary allocating memory.

perf llvm: Reduce LLVM initialization

2025-10-06T19:27:07+00:00

Move the 3 LLVM initialization routines to be called in a single init_llvm function that has its own bool to avoid repeated initialization. Reduce the scope of triplet and avoid copying strings for x86.

perf llvm: Move llvm functionality into its own file

2025-10-02T18:38:23+00:00

LLVM disassembly support was in disasm.c and addr2line support in srcline.c. Move support out of these files into llvm.[ch] and remove LLVM includes from those files. As disassembly routines can fail, make failure the only option without HAVE_LIBLLVM_SUPPORT. For simplicity's sake, duplicate the read_symbol utility function. The intent with moving LLVM support into a single file is that dynamic support, using dlopen for libllvm, can be added in later patches. This can potentially always succeed or fail, so relying on ifdefs isn't sufficient. Using dlopen is a useful option to minimize the perf tools dependencies and potentially size.
