perf annotate: Fix it for non-prelinked *.so
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump
addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look:

For simple ET_DYN type DSO (*.so) with one function, objdump -dS
output is something like this:

    000004ac <my_strlen>:
    int my_strlen(const char *s)
     4ac:   55                      push   %ebp
     4ad:   89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     4af:   83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {

i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there.

For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry
can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs,
e.g.

    08048604 <zz_strlen>:
    extern "C"
    int zz_strlen(const char *s)
     8048604:       55                      push   %ebp
     8048605:       89 e5                   mov    %esp,%ebp
     8048607:       83 ec 10                sub    $0x10,%esp
    {

So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(*), we'll
have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for
ET_DYN cases.

(*) and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for
    adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym()

Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN
dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was
empty.

The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from
non-prelinked *.so had always 0.00% percents only, which is
wrong.

To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to
objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and
unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to
understand it.
