2012-08-13perf symbols: Switch dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() to use symsrcCody P Schafer1-18/+7
Previously dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() was reopening the elf file to obtain dynsyms from it. Rather than reopen the file, use the already opened reference within the symsrc to access it.

2012-08-13perf symbols: Set symtab_type in dso__load_symCody P Schafer1-0/+2
In certain cases, dso__load requires dso->symbol_type to be set prior to calling it. With the introduction of symsrc*, the symtab_type is now stored in a symsrc which is then passed to dso__load_sym(). Change dso__load_sym() to use the symtab_type from them symsrc (setting dso->symtab_type as well).

2012-08-13perf symbols: Introduce symsrc structure.Cody P Schafer1-29/+90
Factors opening of certain sections & tracking certain elf info into an external structure. The goal here is to keep multiple elfs (and their looked up sections/indexes) around during the symbol generation process (in dso__load()). We need this to properly resolve symbols on PPC due to the use of function descriptors & the .opd section (ie: symbols which are functions don't point to their actual location, they point to their function descriptor in .opd which contains their actual location. It would be possible to just keep the (Elf *) around, but then we'd end up with duplicate code for looking up the same sections and checking for the existence of an important section wouldn't be as clean (and we need to keep the Elf stuff confined to symtab-elf.c).

2012-08-13perf symbols: Avoid segfault in elf_strptrCody P Schafer1-0/+4
If we call elf_section_by_name() with a truncated elf image (ie: the file header indicates that the section headers are placed past the end of the file), elf_strptr() causes a segfault within libelf. Avoid this by checking that we can access the section string table properly. Should really be fixed in libelf/elfutils.

2012-08-13perf symbols: Don't try to synthesize plt without dynstrCody P Schafer1-0/+3
If .dynsym exists but .dynstr is empty (NO_BITS or size==0), a segfault occurs. Avoid this by checking that .dynstr is not empty.

2012-08-09perf symbols: Split out util/symbol-elf.cNamhyung Kim1-0/+774
Factor out the dependency of ELF handling into separate symbol-elf.c file. It is a preparation of building a minimalistic version perf tools which doesn't depend on the elfutils.
