perf symbols: Fix symbols searching for module in buildid-cache
Before this patch, if a sample is triggered inside a module not in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/, even if the module is in buildid-cache, 'perf report' will still be unable to find the correct symbol. For example: # rm -rf ~/.debug/ # perf buildid-cache -a ./mymodule.ko # perf probe -m ./mymodule.ko -a get_mymodule_val Added new event: probe:get_mymodule_val (on get_mymodule_val in mymodule) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:get_mymodule_val -aR sleep 1 # perf record -e probe:get_mymodule_val cat /proc/mymodule mymodule:3 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (1 samples) ] # perf report --stdio [SNIP] # # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... ................ ...................... # 100.00% cat [mymodule] [k] 0x0000000000000001 # perf report -vvvv --stdio dso__load_sym: adjusting symbol: st_value: 0 sh_addr: 0 sh_offset: 0x70 symbol__new: get_mymodule_val 0x70-0x8a [SNIP] This is caused by dso__load() -> dso__load_sym(). In dso__load(), kmod is true only when its file is found in some well know directories. All files loaded from buildid-cache are treated as user programs. Following dso__load_sym() set map->pgoff incorrectly. This patch gives kernel modules in buildid-cache a chance to adjust value of kmod. After dso__load() get the type of symbols, if it is buildid, check the last 3 chars of original filename against '.ko', and adjust the value of kmod if the file is a kernel module.
