This causes problems because the tests driving this code path use machine__kernel_ip(), and that is completely meaningless on Sparc. On sparc64 the kernel and user live in physically separate virtual address spaces, rather than a shared one. And the kernel lives at a virtual address that overlaps common userspace addresses. So this test passes almost all the time when a user symbol lookup fails. The consequence of this is that, if the unfound user virtual address in the sample doesn't match up to a kernel symbol either, we trigger things like this code in builtin-top.c: if (al.sym == NULL && al.map != NULL) { const char *msg = "Kernel samples will not be resolved.\n"; /* * As we do lazy loading of symtabs we only will know if the * specified vmlinux file is invalid when we actually have a * hit in kernel space and then try to load it. So if we get * here and there are _no_ symbols in the DSO backing the * kernel map, bail out. * * We may never get here, for instance, if we use -K/ * --hide-kernel-symbols, even if the user specifies an * invalid --vmlinux ;-) */ if (!machine->kptr_restrict_warned && !top->vmlinux_warned && __map__is_kernel(al.map) && map__has_symbols(al.map)) { if (symbol_conf.vmlinux_name) { char serr[256]; dso__strerror_load(al.map->dso, serr, sizeof(serr)); ui__warning("The %s file can't be used: %s\n%s", symbol_conf.vmlinux_name, serr, msg); } else { ui__warning("A vmlinux file was not found.\n%s", msg); } if (use_browser <= 0) sleep(5); top->vmlinux_warned = true; } } When I fire up a compilation on sparc, this triggers immediately. I'm trying to figure out what the "backup to kernel map" code is accomplishing. I see some language in the current code and in the changes that have happened in this area talking about vdso. Does that really happen? The vdso is mapped into userspace virtual addresses, not kernel ones. More history. This didn't cause problems on sparc some time ago, because the kernel IP check used to be "ip < 0" :-) Sparc kernel addresses are not negative. But now with machine__kernel_ip(), which works using the symbol table determined kernel address range, it does trigger. What it all boils down to is that on architectures like sparc, machine__kernel_ip() should always return false in this scenerio, and therefore this kind of logic: if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER && machine && mg != &machine->kmaps && machine__kernel_ip(machine, al->addr)) { is basically invalid. PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER implies no kernel address can possibly match for the sample/event in question (no matter how hard you try!) :-) So, I thought something had changed and in the past we would somehow find that address in the kallsyms, but I couldn't find anything to back that up, the patch introducing this is over a decade old, lots of things changed, so I was just thinking I was missing something. I tried a gtod busy loop to generate vdso activity and added a 'perf probe' at that branch, on x86_64 to see if it ever gets hit: Made thread__find_map() noinline, as 'perf probe' in lines of inline functions seems to not be working, only at function start. (Masami?) # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L thread__find_map:57 57 if (cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_USER && machine && 58 mg != &machine->kmaps && 59 machine__kernel_ip(machine, al->addr)) { 60 mg = &machine->kmaps; 61 load_map = true; 62 goto try_again; } } else { /* * Kernel maps might be changed when loading * symbols so loading * must be done prior to using kernel maps. */ 69 if (load_map) 70 map__load(al->map); 71 al->addr = al->map->map_ip(al->map, al->addr); # perf probe -x ~/bin/perf thread__find_map:60 Added new event: probe_perf:thread__find_map (on thread__find_map:60 in /home/acme/bin/perf) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_perf:thread__find_map -aR sleep 1 # Then used this to see if, system wide, those probe points were being hit: # perf trace -e *perf:thread*/max-stack=8/ ^C[root@jouet ~]# No hits when running 'perf top' and: # cat gtod.c #include int main(void) { struct timeval tv; while (1) gettimeofday(&tv, 0); return 0; } [root@jouet c]# ./gtod ^C Pressed 'P' in 'perf top' and the [vdso] samples are there: 62.84% [vdso] [.] __vdso_gettimeofday 8.13% gtod [.] main 7.51% [vdso] [.] 0x0000000000000914 5.78% [vdso] [.] 0x0000000000000917 5.43% gtod [.] _init 2.71% [vdso] [.] 0x000000000000092d 0.35% [kernel] [k] native_io_delay 0.33% libc-2.26.so [.] __memmove_avx_unaligned_erms 0.20% [vdso] [.] 0x000000000000091d 0.17% [i2c_i801] [k] i801_access 0.06% firefox [.] free 0.06% libglib-2.0.so.0.5400.3 [.] g_source_iter_next 0.05% [vdso] [.] 0x0000000000000919 0.05% libpthread-2.26.so [.] __pthread_mutex_lock 0.05% libpixman-1.so.0.34.0 [.] 0x000000000006d3a7 0.04% [kernel] [k] entry_SYSCALL_64_trampoline 0.04% libxul.so [.] style::dom_apis::query_selector_slow 0.04% [kernel] [k] module_get_kallsym 0.04% firefox [.] malloc 0.04% [vdso] [.] 0x0000000000000910 I added a 'perf probe' to thread__find_map:69, and that surely got tons of hits, i.e. for every map found, just to make sure the 'perf probe' command was really working. In the process I noticed a bug, we're only have records for '[vdso]' for pre-existing commands, i.e. ones that are running when we start 'perf top', when we will generate the PERF_RECORD_MMAP by looking at /perf/PID/maps. I.e. like this, for preexisting processes with a vdso map, again, tracing for all the system, only pre-existing processes get a [vdso] map (when having one): [root@jouet ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf __machine__addnew_vdso Added new event: probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso (on __machine__addnew_vdso in /home/acme/bin/perf) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso -aR sleep 1 [root@jouet ~]# perf trace -e probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso/max-stack=8/ 0.000 probe_perf:__machine__addnew_vdso:(568eb3) __machine__addnew_vdso (/home/acme/bin/perf) map__new (/home/acme/bin/perf) machine__process_mmap2_event (/home/acme/bin/perf) machine__process_event (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_event__process (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_tool__process_synth_event (/home/acme/bin/perf) perf_event__synthesize_mmap_events (/home/acme/bin/perf) __event__synthesize_thread (/home/acme/bin/perf) The kernel is generating a PERF_RECORD_MMAP for vDSOs, but somehow 'perf top' is not getting those records while 'perf record' is: # perf record ~acme/c/gtod ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.076 MB perf.data (1499 samples) ] # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 71293612401913 0x11b48 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 25484/25484: [0x400000(0x1000) @ 0 fd:02 1137 541179306]: r-xp /home/acme/c/gtod 71293612419012 0x11be0 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 25484/25484: [0x7fa4a2783000(0x227000) @ 0 fd:00 3146370 854107250]: r-xp /usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so 71293612432110 0x11c50 [0x60]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 25484/25484: [0x7ffcdb53a000(0x2000) @ 0 00:00 0 0]: r-xp [vdso] 71293612509944 0x11cb0 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 25484/25484: [0x7fa4a23cd000(0x3b6000) @ 0 fd:00 3149723 262067164]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so # # perf script | grep vdso | head gtod 25484 71293.612768: 2485554 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53a914 [unknown] ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.613576: 2149343 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53a917 [unknown] ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.614274: 1814652 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53aca8 __vdso_gettimeofday+0x98 ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.614862: 1669070 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53acc5 __vdso_gettimeofday+0xb5 ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.615404: 1451589 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53acc5 __vdso_gettimeofday+0xb5 ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.615999: 1269941 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53ace6 __vdso_gettimeofday+0xd6 ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.616405: 1177946 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53a914 [unknown] ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.616775: 1121290 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53ac47 __vdso_gettimeofday+0x37 ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.617150: 1037721 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53ace6 __vdso_gettimeofday+0xd6 ([vdso]) gtod 25484 71293.617478: 994526 cycles:ppp: 7ffcdb53ace6 __vdso_gettimeofday+0xd6 ([vdso]) # The patch is the obvious one and with it we also continue to resolve vdso symbols for pre-existing processes in 'perf top' and for all processes in 'perf record' + 'perf report/script'.
