[PATCH 1/2] Support perf script -F brstack,dso and brstacksym,dso

From: Mark Santaniello
Date: Mon Jun 19 2017 - 12:39:01 EST


Perf script can report the dso for "addr" and "ip" fields.
This adds the same support for the "brstack" and "brstacksym" fields.
This can be helpful for AutoFDO: we can ignore LBR entries unless the
source and target address are both in the target module we are about to
build.

I built a small test akin to "while(1) { do_nothing(); }" where the
do_nothing function is loaded from a dso:

~/src/burncpu$ cat burncpu.cpp
#include <dlfcn.h>

int main() {
void* handle = dlopen("./dso.so", RTLD_LAZY);
if (!handle) return -1;

typedef void (*fp)();
fp do_nothing = (fp) dlsym(handle, "do_nothing");

while(1) {
do_nothing();
}
}

~/src/burncpu$ cat dso.cpp
extern "C" void do_nothing() {}

~/src/burncpu$ cat build.sh
#!/bin/bash
g++ -shared dso.cpp -o dso.so
g++ burncpu.cpp -o burncpu -ldl

I sampled the execution with perf record -b. Using the new perf script
functionality I can easily find cases where there was a transition from one
dso to another:

$ ./perf record -a -b -- sleep 5
[ perf record: Woken up 55 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 18.815 MB perf.data (43593 samples) ]

$ ./perf script -F brstack,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' \
> | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
0x7f967139b6aa(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/0x4006b1(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0

$ ./perf script -F brstacksym,dso | sed 's/\/0 /\/0\n/g' \
> | grep burncpu | grep dso.so | head -n 1
do_nothing+0x5(/tmp/burncpu/dso.so)/main+0x44(/tmp/burncpu/exe)/P/-/-/0
