perf report: Support interactive annotation of code without symbols
For perf report on stripped binaries it is currently impossible to do annotation. The annotation state is all tied to symbols, but there are either no symbols, or symbols are not covering all the code. We should support the annotation functionality even without symbols. This patch fakes a symbol and the symbol name is the string of address. After that, we just follow current annotation working flow. For example, 1. perf report Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol 20.67% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random_r 17.29% div libc-2.27.so [.] __random 10.59% div div [.] 0x0000000000000628 9.25% div div [.] 0x0000000000000612 6.11% div div [.] 0x0000000000000645 2. Select the line of "10.59% div div [.] 0x0000000000000628" and ENTER. Annotate 0x0000000000000628 Zoom into div thread Zoom into div DSO (use the 'k' hotkey to zoom directly into the kernel) Browse map details Run scripts for samples of symbol [0x0000000000000628] Run scripts for all samples Switch to another data file in PWD Exit 3. Select the "Annotate 0x0000000000000628" and ENTER. Percent│ │ │ │ Disassembly of section .text: │ │ 0000000000000628 <.text+0x68>: │ divsd %xmm4,%xmm0 │ divsd %xmm3,%xmm1 │ movsd (%rsp),%xmm2 │ addsd %xmm1,%xmm0 │ addsd %xmm2,%xmm0 │ movsd %xmm0,(%rsp) Now we can see the dump of object starting from 0x628. v5: --- Remove the hotkey 'a' implementation from this patch. It will be moved to a separate patch. v4: --- 1. Support the hotkey 'a'. When we press 'a' on address, now it supports the annotation. 2. Change the patch title from "Support interactive annotation of code without symbols" to "perf report: Support interactive annotation of code without symbols" v3: --- Keep just the ANNOTATION_DUMMY_LEN, and remove the opts->annotate_dummy_len since it's the "maybe in future we will provide" feature. v2: --- Fix a crash issue when annotating an address in "unknown" object. The steps to reproduce this issue: perf record -e cycles:u ls perf report 75.29% ls ld-2.27.so [.] do_lookup_x 23.64% ls ld-2.27.so [.] __GI___tunables_init 1.04% ls [unknown] [k] 0xffffffff85c01210 0.03% ls ld-2.27.so [.] _start When annotating 0xffffffff85c01210, the crash happens. v2 adds checking for ms->map in add_annotate_opt(). If the object is "unknown", ms->map is NULL. Committer notes: Renamed new_annotate_sym() to symbol__new_unresolved(). Use PRIx64 to fix this issue in some 32-bit arches: ui/browsers/hists.c: In function 'symbol__new_unresolved': ui/browsers/hists.c:2474:38: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 5 has type 'u64' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} [-Werror=format=] snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%-#.*lx", BITS_PER_LONG / 4, addr); ~~~~~~^ ~~~~ %-#.*llx Signed-off-by: Jin Yao <yao.jin@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200227043939.4403-3-yao.jin@linux.intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
