perf callchain: Always populate the addr_location map when adding IP

2025-05-31T11:58:30+00:00

Dropping symbols also meant the callchain maps wasn't populated, but the callchain map is needed to find the DSO. Plumb the symbols option better, falling back to thread__find_map() rather than thread__find_symbol() when symbols are disabled.

perf thread: Add support for reading the e_machine type for a thread

2025-03-21T05:58:05+00:00

First try to read the e_machine from the dsos associated with the thread's maps. If live use the executable from /proc/pid/exe and read the e_machine from the ELF header. On failure use EM_HOST. Change builtin-trace syscall functions to pass e_machine from the thread rather than EM_HOST, so that in later patches when syscalltbl can use the e_machine the system calls are specific to the architecture.

perf callchain: Fix stitch LBR memory leaks

2024-08-08T20:30:27+00:00

The 'struct callchain_cursor_node' has a 'struct map_symbol' whose maps and map members are reference counted. Ensure these values use a _get routine to increment the reference counts and use map_symbol__exit() to release the reference counts. Do similar for 'struct thread's prev_lbr_cursor, but save the size of the prev_lbr_cursor array so that it may be iterated. Ensure that when stitch_nodes are placed on the free list the map_symbols are exited. Fix resolve_lbr_callchain_sample() by replacing list_replace_init() to list_splice_init(), so the whole list is moved and nodes aren't leaked. A reproduction of the memory leaks is possible with a leak sanitizer build in the perf report command of: ``` $ perf record -e cycles --call-graph lbr perf test -w thloop $ perf report --stitch-lbr ``` Reviewed-by: Kan Liang Fixes: ff165628d72644e3 ("perf callchain: Stitch LBR call stack") Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers [ Basic tests after applying the patch, repeating the example above ] Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Anne Macedo Cc: Changbin Du Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240808054644.1286065-1-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf dso: Add reference count checking and accessor functions

2024-05-06T18:28:49+00:00

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....

perf machine: Move machine's threads into its own abstraction

2024-03-04T06:51:44+00:00

Move thread_rb_node into the machine.c file. This hides the implementation of threads from the rest of the code allowing for it to be refactored. Locking discipline is tightened up in this change. As the lock is now encapsulated in threads, the findnew function requires holding it (as it already did in machine). Rather than do conditionals with locks based on whether the thread should be created (which could potentially be error prone with a read lock match with a write unlock), have a separate threads__find that won't create the thread and only holds the read lock. This effectively duplicates the findnew logic, with the existing findnew logic only operating under a write lock assuming creation is necessary as a previous find failed. The creation may still fail with the write lock due to another thread. The duplication is removed in a later next patch that delegates the implementation to hashtable.
