The current symbols__fixup_end() heuristic for the last entry in the rb
tree is suboptimal as it leads to not being able to recognize the symbol
in the call graph in a couple of corner cases, for example:
i) If the symbol has a start address (f.e. exposed via kallsyms)
that is at a page boundary, then the roundup(curr->start, 4096)
for the last entry will result in curr->start == curr->end with
a symbol length of zero.
ii) If the symbol has a start address that is shortly before a page
boundary, then also here, curr->end - curr->start will just be
very few bytes, where it's unrealistic that we could perform a
match against.
Instead, change the heuristic to roundup(curr->start, 4096) + 4096, so
that we can catch such corner cases and have a better chance to find
that specific symbol. It's still just best effort as the real end of the
symbol is unknown to us (and could even be at a larger offset than the
current range), but better than the current situation.
Alexei reported that he recently run into case i) with a JITed eBPF
program (these are all page aligned) as the last symbol which wasn't
properly shown in the call graph (while other eBPF program symbols in
the rb tree were displayed correctly). Since this is a generic issue,
lets try to improve the heuristic a bit.

After commit 5baecbcd9c ("perf symbols: we can now read separate
debug-info files based on a build ID") and when --symfs option is used
perf failed to pick up symbols for file with the same name between host
and sysroot specified by --symfs option. One can see message like this:
bin/bash with build id 26f0062cb6950d4d1ab0fd9c43eae8b10ca42062 not found, continuing without symbols
It happens because code added by 5baecbcd9c opens files directly by
dso->long_name without symbol_conf.symfs consideration, which as result
picks one from the host. It reads its build ID and later even code finds
another proper file in directory pointed by --symfs perf ignores it
because build id mismatches.
Fix is to use __symbol__join_symfs to adjust file name according to
--symfs setting. If no --symfs passed the operation would noop and picks
the same host file as before.
Also note in latter tree after 5baecbcd9c commit additional check for
'!dso->has_build_id' was added, so to observe error condition 'perf
record' should run with --no-buildid, so perf.data itself would not have
build id for target binary in buildid perf section and 'perf report'
will pass '!dso->has_build_id' condition. Or target binary should not
have build id, but the same binary on host has build id, again
'!dso->has_build_id' will pass in this case and incorrect build id could
be read if --symfs is used.

Fixes a perf diff regression issue which was introduced by commit
5baecbcd9c ("perf symbols: we can now read separate debug-info files
based on a build ID")
The binary name could be same when perf diff different binaries. Build
id is used to distinguish between them.
However, the previous patch assumes the same binary name has same build
id. So it overwrites the build id according to the binary name,
regardless of whether the build id is set or not.
Check the has_build_id in dso__load. If the build id is already set, use
it.
Before the fix:
$ perf diff 1.perf.data 2.perf.data

# Baseline Delta Shared Object Symbol

Before this patch perf panics if kptr_restrict is set to 1 and perf is
owned by root with suid set:
$ whoami
wangnan
$ ls -l ./perf
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 19781908 Sep 21 19:29 /home/wangnan/perf
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
1
$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid
-1
$ ./perf record -a
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$
The reason is that perf assumes it is allowed to read kptr from
/proc/kallsyms when euid is root, but in fact the kernel doesn't allow
reading kptr when euid and uid do not match with each other:
$ cp /bin/cat .
$ sudo chown root:root ./cat
$ sudo chmod u+s ./cat
$ cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork
0000000000000000 T _do_fork <--- kptr is hidden even euid is root
$ sudo cat /proc/kallsyms | grep do_fork
ffffffff81080230 T _do_fork
See lib/vsprintf.c for kernel side code.
This patch fixes this problem by checking both uid and euid.

When we call symbol__fixup_duplicate() we use algorithms to pick the
"best" symbols for cases where there are various functions/aliases to an
address, and those check zero size symbols, which, before calling
symbol__fixup_end() are _all_ symbols in a just parsed kallsyms file.
So first fixup the end, then fixup the duplicates.
Found while trying to figure out why 'perf test vmlinux' failed, see the
output of 'perf test -v vmlinux' to see cases where the symbols picked
as best for vmlinux don't match the ones picked for kallsyms.

The current method for inserting symbols is to use the symbols__insert()
function. However symbols__insert() does not update the dso symbol
cache. This causes problems in the following scenario:
1. symbol not found at addr using dso__find_symbol
2. symbol inserted at addr using the existing symbols__insert function
3. symbol still not found at addr using dso__find_symbol() because cache isn't
updated. This is undesired behavior.
The undesired behavior in (3) is addressed by creating a new function,
dso__insert_symbol() to both insert the symbol and update the symbol
cache if necessary.
If dso__insert_symbol() is used in (2) instead of symbols__insert(),
then the undesired behavior in (3) is avoided.

This change introduces a fix to symbols__find, so that it is able to
find symbols of length zero (where start == end).
The current code has the following problem:
- The current implementation of symbols__find is unable to find any symbols
of length zero.
- The db-export framework explicitly creates zero length symbols at
locations where no symbol currently exists.
The combination of the two above behaviors results in behavior similar
to the example below.
1. addr_location is created for a sample, but symbol is unable to be
resolved.
2. db export creates an "unknown" symbol of length zero at that address
and inserts it into the dso.
3. A new sample comes in at the same address, but symbol__find is unable
to find the zero length symbol, so it is still unresolved.
4. db export sees the symbol is unresolved, and allocated a duplicate
symbol, even though it already did this in step 2.
This behavior continues every time an address without symbol information
is seen, which causes a very large number of these symbols to be
allocated.
The effect of this fix can be observed by looking at the contents of an
exported database before/after the fix (generated with
scripts/python/export-to-postgresql.py)
Ex.
BEFORE THE CHANGE:
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols;
count
--------
900213
(1 row)
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name='unknown';
count
--------

(1 row)
example_db=# select count(*) from symbols where symbols.name!='unknown';
count
-------
2858

AFTER THE CHANGE:

Before the support for using /proc/kcore was introduced, the kallsyms
routines used /proc/modules and the first 'perf test' entry expected
finding maps for each module in the system, which is not the case with
the kcore code. Provide a way to ignore kcore files so that the test can
have its expectations met.
Improving the test to cover kcore files as well needs to be done.

The fprintf_sym() and fprintf_callchain() methods now allow users to
change the existing behaviour of showing "[unknown]" as the name of
unresolved symbols to instead show "[0x123456]", i.e. its address.
The current patch doesn't change tools to use this facility, the results
from 'perf trace' and 'perf script' cotinue like:
70.109 ( 0.001 ms): qemu-system-x8/10153 poll(ufds: 0x7f2d93ffe870, nfds: 1) = 0 Timeout

The next patch will make 'perf trace' use the new formatting.

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.

The event group view feature is to see related events together. To use
the group view, events should be recorded as a group with a dedicated
syntax of surrounding events by braces (-e '{ evt1, evt2, ... }').
Also 'perf report' also requires the --group option to enable it.
However it's almost always beneficial to use the group view to see the
group events as it's more expressive. And I think it's more natural to
see events together if they are recorded as a group.
Thus this patch changes the default value to enable it. If users don't
want to see like it and keep the original behavior, they can set the
report.group config variable to false and/or use --no-group option in
the 'perf report' command line.

Normally symbols are read from the DSO and adjusted, if need be, so that
the symbol start matches the file offset in the DSO file (we want the
file offset because that is what we know from MMAP events). That is done
by dso__load_sym() which inserts the symbols *after* adjusting them.
In the case of kcore, the symbols have been read from kallsyms and the
symbol start is the memory address. The symbols have to be adjusted to
match the kcore file offsets. dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore() does that,
but now the adjustment is being done *after* the symbols have been
inserted. It appears dso__split_kallsyms_for_kcore() was assuming that
changing the symbol start would not change the order in the rbtree -
which is, of course, not guaranteed.

Currently we split symbols based on the map comparison, but symbols are stored
within dso objects and maps could point into same dso objects (kernel maps).
Hence we could end up changing rbtree we are currently iterating and mess it
up. It's easily reproduced on s390x by running:
$ perf record -a -- sleep 3
$ perf buildid-list -i perf.data --with-hits
The fix is to compare dso objects instead.

The "/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO" message comes up all the time
for 'perf script' if vmlinux is not found and the user isn't root, even
when the kernel is not being traced and even though the message is only
really relevant for annotation.
Change it to pr_debug and instead put a note in the message displayed if
annotation is not possible.
Also, the file being accessed might not be /proc/kcore. Tools can be
directed to a different location using the --kallsyms option in which
case kcore is expected to be in the same directory. Adjust the message
so it is not misleading in that case.

- 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:
$ trace -e file touch file
Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More work needed to
add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also to complement what was
added for the 'file' group, included as a proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI (Davidlohr Bueso)

Merge tag 'perf-core-for-mingo' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux into perf/core
Pull perf/core improvements and fixes from Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo:
New features:
- Allow filtering out of perf's PID via 'perf record --exclude-perf'. (Wang Nan)
- 'perf trace' now supports syscall groups, like strace, i.e:
$ trace -e file touch file
Will expand 'file' into multiple, file related, syscalls. More work needed to
add extra groups for other syscall groups, and also to complement what was
added for the 'file' group, included as a proof of concept. (Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
- Add lock_pi stresser to 'perf bench futex', to test the kernel code
related to FUTEX_(UN)LOCK_PI. (Davidlohr Bueso)
User visible fixes:
- Apply --filter to all events in a glob matching, not just the last one. (Wang Nan)
Documentation changes:
- Document setting '-e pmu/period=N/' in the 'perf record' man page. (Kan Liang)
Infrastructure changes:
- 'perf probe' code simplifications and movements to separate files. (Masami Hiramatsu)
- Fix makefile generation under 'dash'. (Sergei Trofimovich)

So that we can pass more info to strlist__new() without having to change
its function signature, just adding entries to the strlist_config struct
with sensible defaults for when those fields are not specified.

When setting yup the symbols library we setup several filter lists,
for dsos, comms, symbols, etc, and there is code that, if there are
filters, do certain operations, like recalculate the number of non
filtered histogram entries in the top/report TUI.
But they were considering just the "Zoom" filters, when they need to
take into account as well the above mentioned filters (perf top --comms,
--dsos, etc).
So store in symbol_conf.has_filter true if any of those filters is in
place.

There 2 problems when reading symbols files:
* It doesn't report any errors even if when users specify symbol
files which don't exist with --kallsyms or --vmlinux. The result
just shows the address without symbols, which is not what is expected.
So it's better to report errors and exit the program.
* When using command perf report --kallsyms=/proc/kallsyms with a
non-root user, symbols are resolved. Then select one symbol and
annotate it, it reports the error as the following:
Can't annotate __clear_user: No vmlinux file with build id xxx was
found.
The problem is caused by reading /proc/kcore without access permission.
/proc/kcore requires CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability to access, so it needs to
change access permission to allow a specific user to read /proc/kcore or
use root to execute the perf command.
This patch is to report errors when symbol files specified by users
don't exist. And check access permission of /proc/kcore when reading it.

This has a different model than the 'thread' and 'map' struct lifetimes:
there is not a definitive "don't use this DSO anymore" event, i.e. we may
get many 'struct map' holding references to the '/usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so'
DSO but then at some point some DSO may have no references but we still
don't want to straight away release its resources, because "soon" we may
get a new 'struct map' that needs it and we want to reuse its symtab or
other resources.
So we need some way to garbage collect it when crossing some memory
usage threshold, which is left for anoter patch, for now it is
sufficient to release it when calling dsos__exit(), i.e. when deleting
the whole list as part of deleting the 'struct machine' containing it,
which will leave only referenced objects being used.
