The index into the cpumap array and the number of entries within the
array can never be negative, so let's make them unsigned. This is
prompted by reports that gcc 13 with -O6 is giving a
alloc-size-larger-than errors. The change makes the cpumap changes and
then updates the declaration of index variables throughout perf and
libperf to be unsigned. The two things are hard to separate as
compiler warnings about mixing signed and unsigned types breaks the
build.

Add support for parsing an optional layout parameter in the --symfs
command line option. The format is:
--symfs <directory[,layout]>
Where layout can be:
- 'hierarchy': matches full path (default)
- 'flat': only matches base name
When debugging symbol files from a copy of the filesystem (e.g., from a
container or remote machine), the debug files are often stored in a
flat directory structure with only filenames, not the full original
paths. In this case, using 'flat' layout allows perf to find debug
symbols by matching only the filename rather than the full path.
For example, given a binary path like:
/build/output/lib/foo.so
With 'perf report --symfs /debug/files,flat', perf will look for:
/debug/files/foo.so
Instead of:
/debug/files/build/output/lib/foo.so
This is particularly useful when:
- Extracting debug files from containers with different directory layouts
- Working with build systems that flatten directory structures

Due to an off-by-one error introduced in commit 73bbb94466
("kallsyms: support "big" kernel symbols"), long symbols (which are
currently only produced by Rust) can have their symbol type being
wrongly parsed by kernel/kallsyms.c.
This has been fixed in commit f3f9f42232 ("kallsyms: Fix wrong
"big" kernel symbol type read from procfs"), and these symbols are now
reported correctly.
Drop the workaround in perf symbol that filter out these symbol types.
Specifically, '1' and 'l' can never be generated by nm -- 'u' does
indicate GNU unique, however such symbols are only generated by G++ for
C++ templates, and are never generated by LLVM (LLVM generates weak
symbols in such cases instead).
'N' can appear if symbols exist inside debug sections, and 'n' may
appear for symbols inside note sections, however these sections do not
typically have symbol (and they're explicitly filtered out by kallsyms).
Therefore, the previous occurrence of these symbols types must be due to
the off-by-one error and can be safely removed.

In maps__split_kallsyms(), it assumes new kernel map when it finds a
symbol without module after any module and the initial kernel map has
some symbols. Because it expects modules are out of the kernel map so
modules should not have symbols in the kernel map.
For example, the following memory map shows symbols and maps. Any
symbols in the module 1 area will go to the module 1. The main kernel
map starts at 0xffffffffbc200000. But if any symbol has a module
between the symbols in that area, next symbols after 0xffffffffbd008000
will generate new kernel maps like [kernel].1.
kernel address | |
| |
0xffffffffc0000000 |---------------------|
| (symbols) |
| ... | <--- [kernel].N
0xffffffffbc400000 |---------------------|
| (symbols) |
| module 2 | <--- bad?
0xffffffffbc380000 |---------------------|
| ... |
| (symbols) |
| [kernel.kallsyms] | <--- initial map
0xffffffffbc200000 |---------------------|
| |
| |
0xffffffffabcde000 |---------------------|
| (symbols) |
| module 1 |
0xffffffffabcd0000 |---------------------|
This is very fragile when the module has a symbol that falls into the
main kernel map for some reason. My system has a livepatch module with
such symbols. And it created a lot of new kernel maps after those
symbols. But the symbol may have broken addresses and the later symbols
can still be found in the initial kernel map.
Let's check the symbol address in the initial map and use it if found.

The maps__split_kallsyms() will split symbols to module DSOs if it comes
from a module. It also handled some unusual kernel symbols after modules
by creating new kernel maps like "[kernel].0".
But they are pseudo DSOs to have those unexpected symbols. They should
not be considered as unloaded kernel DSOs. Otherwise the dso__load()
for them will end up calling dso__load_kallsyms() and then
maps__split_kallsyms() again and again.

Simplify the build ID reading code by removing the non-blocking option.
Having to pass the correct option to this function was fragile and a
mistake would result in a hang, see the linked fix. Furthermore,
compressed files are always opened blocking anyway, ignoring the
non-blocking option.
We also don't expect to read build IDs from non-regular files. The only
hits to this function that are non-regular are devices that won't be elf
files with build IDs, for example "/dev/dri/renderD129".
Now instead of opening these as non-blocking and failing to read, we
skip them. Even if something like a pipe or character device did have a
build ID, I don't think it would have worked because you need to call
read() in a loop, check for -EAGAIN and handle timeouts to make
non-blocking reads work.

disasm_bpf.c is moved to libbfd.c also except for

When synthesizing build-ids, for build ID mmap2 events, they will be
added for data mmaps if -d/--data is specified. The files opened for
their build IDs may block on the open causing perf to hang during
synthesis. There is some robustness in existing calls to
filename__read_build_id by checking the file path is to a regular
file, which unfortunately fails for symlinks. Rather than adding more
is_regular_file calls, switch filename__read_build_id to take a
"block" argument and specify O_NONBLOCK when this is false. The
existing is_regular_file checking callers and the event synthesis
callers are made to pass false and thereby avoiding the hang.

symbol-elf.c is used when building with libelf, symbol-minimal is used
otherwise.
There is no reason the demangling code with no dependencies on libelf is
part of symbol-elf.c so move to symbol.c.
This allows demangling tests to pass with NO_LIBELF=1.
Structurally, while moving the functions rename demangle_sym() to
dso__demangle_sym() which is already a function exposed in symbol.h and
the only purpose of which in symbol-elf.c was to call demangle_sym().
Change the calls to demangle_sym() in symbol-elf.c to calls to
dso__demangle_sym().

It is there.
From the nm documentation we can see that:
"U" The symbol is undefined.
"u" The symbol is a unique global symbol. This is a GNU extension to the
standard set of ELF symbol bindings. For such a symbol the dynamic
linker will make sure that in the entire process there is just one
symbol with this name and type in use.
So lets consider 'u' symbols in /proc/kallsyms when loading it to cover this case.
Fedora:40 shows this as a 'l' symbol, so consider that as well.
With this patch 'perf test 1' is happy again:
# perf test vmlinux
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok

Fedora introduced a "MiniDebuginfo" feature, in which an LZMA-compressed
ELF file is placed inside a section named ".gnu_debugdata". This file
contains nothing but a symbol table, which can be used to supplement the
.dynsym section which only contains required symbols for runtime.
It is supported by GDB for stack traces, but it should be useful for
tracing as well. Implement support for loading symbols from
.gnu_debugdata.

When there are more than one symbols at the same address, it needs to
choose which one is better. In choose_best_symbol() it didn't check the
type of symbols. It's possible to have labels in other symbols and in
that case, it would be better to pick the actual symbol over the labels.
To minimize the possible impact on other symbols, I only check NOTYPE
symbols specifically.
$ readelf -sW vmlinux | grep -e __do_softirq -e __softirqentry_text_start

The commit 77b004f4c5 tried to do the same by not giving the size
to the label symbols but it seems there's some label-only symbols in asm
code. Let's restore the original code and choose the right symbol using
type of the symbols.

When it loads symbols from an ELF file, it loads label symbols which is
0 size. Sometimes it has the same address with other symbols and might
shadow the original symbols because it fixes up the size of the symbol.
For example, in my system __do_softirq is shadowed and only accepts the
__softirqentry_text_start instead. But it should accept __do_softirq.

$ perf annotate --stdio __do_softirq

We can ignore NOTYPE symbols in the symbols__fixup_end() so that it can
pick the __do_softirq() in choose_best_symbol(). This should be fine
since most symbols have either STT_FUNC or STT_OBJECT.

For the kernel dso, it sets the binary type of dso when loading the
symbol table. But it seems not to do that for user DSOs. Actually
it sets the symtab type only. It's not clear why we want to maintain
the two separately but it uses the binary type info before getting
the disassembly.
Let's use the symtab type as binary type too if it's not set. I think
it's ok to set the binary type when it founds a symsrc whether or not
it has actual symbols.

Remove dependence on libcap. libcap is only used to query whether a
capability is supported, which is just 1 capget system call.
If the capget system call fails, fall back on root permission
checking. Previously if libcap fails then the permission is assumed
not present which may be pessimistic/wrong.
Add a used_root out argument to perf_cap__capable to say whether the
fall back root check was used. This allows the correct error message,
"root" vs "users with the CAP_PERFMON or CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability", to
be selected.
Tidy uses of perf_cap__capable so that tests aren't repeated if capget
isn't supported.

In dso__load(), it checks if the dso is a kernel module by looking the
symtab type. Actually dso has 'is_kmod' field to check that easily and

should have the same result to check the is_kmod bit.

But it works with any files like /tmp/perf/test. Only for
patterns with "/tmp/perf-", this fails.
Further debugging, commit 80d496be89 ("perf report: Add support
for profiling JIT generated code") added support for profiling JIT
generated code. This patch handles dso's of form
"/tmp/perf-$PID.map" .
The check used "if (strncmp(self->name, "/tmp/perf-", 10) == 0)"
to match "/tmp/perf-$PID.map". With this commit, any dso in
/tmp/perf- folder will be considered separately for processing
(not only JIT created map files ). Fix this by changing the
string pattern to check for "/tmp/perf-%d.map". Add a helper
function is_perf_pid_map_name to do this check. In "struct dso",
dso->long_name holds the long name of the dso file. Since the
/tmp/perf-$PID.map check uses the complete name, use dso___long_name for
the string name.
With the fix,

The linked commit updated dso__load_vmlinux() to call
dso__set_long_name() before loading the symbols. Loading the symbols may
not succeed but dso__set_long_name() takes ownership of the string. The
two callers of this function free the string themselves on failure
cases, resulting in the following error:
$ perf record -- ls
$ perf report
free(): double free detected in tcache 2
Fix it by always taking ownership of the string, even on failure. This
means the string is either freed at the very first early exit condition,
or later when the dso is deleted or the long name is replaced. Now no

When loading kcore, the main vmlinux map is updated in the same loop
that merges the remaining maps. If a map that overlaps is merged in
before kcore, the list can become unsortable when the main map addresses
are updated. This will later trigger the check_invariants() assert:
$ perf record
$ perf report
util/maps.c:96: check_invariants: Assertion `map__end(prev) <=
map__start(map) || map__start(prev) == map__start(map)' failed.
Aborted
Fix it by moving the main map update prior to the loop so that
maps__merge_in() can split it if necessary.

Make the order of operations remove, update, add. Updating addresses
before the map is removed causes the ordering check to fail when the map
is removed. This can be reproduced when running Perf on an Arm system

Add reference count checking to struct dso, this can help with
implementing correct reference counting discipline. To avoid
RC_CHK_ACCESS everywhere, add accessor functions for the variables in
struct dso.
The majority of the change is mechanical in nature and not easy to
split up.
Committer testing:
'perf test' up to this patch shows no regressions.
But:
util/symbol.c: In function ‘dso__load_bfd_symbols’:
util/symbol.c:1683:9: error: too few arguments to function ‘dso__set_adjust_symbols’

I got a strange error on ARM to fail on processing FINISHED_ROUND
record. It turned out that it was failing in symbol__alloc_hist()
because the symbol size is too big.
When a sample is captured on a specific BPF program, it failed. I've
added a debug code and found the end address of the symbol is from
the next module which is placed far way.

ffffd69b7af740b8-ffffd69b7af741e0: crypto_sha3_update [sha3_generic]
The logic in symbols__fixup_end() just uses curr->start to update the
prev->end. But in this case, it won't work as it's too different.
I think ARM has a different kernel memory layout for modules and BPF
than on x86. Actually there's a logic to handle kernel and module
boundary. Let's do the same for symbols between different modules.

Removing maps wasn't being done under the write lock. Similar to
maps__for_each_map(), iterate the entries but in this case remove the
entry based on the result of the callback. If an entry was removed
then maps_by_name() also needs updating, so add missed flush.
In dso__load_kcore(), the test of map to save would always be false with
REFCNT_CHECKING because of a missing RC_CHK_ACCESS/RC_CHK_EQUAL.

Update "struct dso" to include new member "text_end".
This new field will represent the offset for end of text
section for a dso. For elf, this value is derived as:
sh_size (Size of section in byes) + sh_offset (Section file
offst) of the elf header for text.
For bfd, this value is derived as:
1. For PE file,
section->size + ( section->vma - dso->text_offset)
2. Other cases:
section->filepos (file position) + section->size (size of
section)
To resolve the address from a sample, perf looks at the
DSO maps. In case of address from a kernel module, there
were some address found to be not resolved. This was
observed while running perf test for "Object code reading".
Though the ip falls beteen the start address of the loaded
module (perf map->start ) and end address ( perf map->end),
it was unresolved.
Example:
Reading object code for memory address: 0xc008000007f0142c
File is: /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
On file address is: 0x1114cc
Objdump command is: objdump -z -d --start-address=0x11142c --stop-address=0x1114ac /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko
objdump read too few bytes: 128
test child finished with -1
Here, module is loaded at:
# cat /proc/modules | grep xfs
xfs 2228224 3 - Live 0xc008000007d00000
From objdump for xfs module, text section is:
text 0010f7bc 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000a0 2**4
Here the offset for 0xc008000007f0142c ie 0x112074 falls out
.text section which is up to 0x10f7bc.
In this case for module, the address 0xc008000007e11fd4 is pointing
to stub instructions. This address range represents the module stubs
which is allocated on module load and hence is not part of DSO offset.
To identify such address, which falls out of text
section and within module end, added the new field "text_end" to
"struct dso".
