Re: [PATCH V8 0/4] arm-cs-trace-disasm.py/perf must accommodate non-zero DSO text offset

by Steve Clevenger

Hello Namhyung, Sorry your question is so late. I don't include the ELF headers here, but the problem can be seen with a perf.data packet dump of user instruction trace capture. The problem is with the non-zero pgoff. The arm-cs-trace-disasm.py script was never passed pgoff information to adjust the start/end disassemble range passed to objdump. This patch distributes the fix between perf and the arm-cs-trace-disasm.py script. Here's a brief excerpt from an e-mail I sent to James Clark describing the patch before I submitted it. Regards, Steve C. ----------------------------------------------------------------- . . This e-mail is to document what I know and don’t know about the problem. The background is Fedora 38 introduced non-zero text offsets into common shared objects and executables (e.g. libc.so.6, etc.). If you were to ‘perf report --dump’ the perf.data of a user mode instruction trace on Fedora 37 and grep the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 packets you’ll notice all zero values (@ 0) for shared binary and executable text offsets. Repeat the same for user trace collected on Fedora 38/39, and these text offsets show as non-zero. Fedora 37: 4294967295 18446744073709551615 0x8ac8 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 2389577/2389577: [0xffff85124000(0x42000) @ 0 103:04 805306555 1941233998]: r-xp /usr/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 4294967295 18446744073709551615 0x8b40 [0x60]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 2389577/2389577: [0xffff85161000(0x1000) @ 0 00:00 0 0]: r-xp [vdso] 4294967295 18446744073709551615 0x8ba0 [0x68]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 2389577/2389577: [0xaaaab09b0000(0x10000) @ 0 103:04 1140851919 994218038]: r-xp /usr/bin/dd 4294967295 18446744073709551615 0x8c08 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 2389577/2389577: [0xffff84f70000(0x1a9000) @ 0 103:04 1677721733 3891973508]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 Fedora 39: 4294967295 18446744073709551615 0x8ac8 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 18229/18229: [0xffffa5512000(0x1d000) @ 0x10000 103:04 161 4093340249]: r-xp /usr/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1 4294967295 18446744073709551615 0x8b40 [0x60]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 18229/18229: [0xffffa554f000(0x1000) @ 0 00:00 0 0]: r-xp [vdso] 4294967295 18446744073709551615 0x8ba0 [0x68]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 18229/18229: [0xaaaade7e0000(0xb000) @ 0x10000 103:04 536876423 421616320]: r-xp /usr/bin/dd 4294967295 18446744073709551615 0x8c08 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 18229/18229: [0xffffa5360000(0x11f000) @ 0x30000 103:04 536873199 2415801053]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libc.so.6 The arm-cs-trace-disasm.py script never gets to see the text offset into the dso binaries, so has no opportunity to adjust the start/end address range passed to objdump. This wasn’t a problem on Fedora 37 and below since there’s no start/end adjustment for a zero text offset. On Fedora 38/39 distros, the instruction trace shows unconditional branch instructions which do not branch to the target address, the clearest indication of trouble. ----------------------------------------------------------------- On 10/7/2024 10:51 PM, Namhyung Kim wrote: > Hello, > > Sorry for the long delay.

[PATCH v2 0/7] perf: cs-etm: Coresight decode and disassembly improvements

by James Clark

A set of changes that came out of the issues reported here [1]. * First 2 patches fix a decode bug in Perf and add support for new consistency checks in OpenCSD * The remaining ones make the disassembly script easier to test and use. This also involves adding a new Python binding to Perf to get a config value (perf_config_get()) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240719092619.274730-1-gankulkarn… Changes since V1: * Keep the flush function for discontinuities * Still remove the flush when the buffer fills, but now add cs_etm__end_block() for the end trace. That way we won't drop the last branch stack if the instruction sample period wasn't hit at the very end.

[PATCH v3 0/7] perf: cs-etm: Coresight decode and disassembly improvements

by James Clark

A set of changes that came out of the issues reported here [1]. * First 2 patches fix a decode bug in Perf and add support for new consistency checks in OpenCSD * The remaining ones make the disassembly script easier to test and use. This also involves adding a new Python binding to Perf to get a config value (perf_config_get()) [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/20240719092619.274730-1-gankulkarn… Changes since V2: * Check validity of start stop arguments * Make test work if Perf was installed * Document that start and stop time are monotonic clock values Changes since V1: * Keep the flush function for discontinuities * Still remove the flush when the buffer fills, but now add cs_etm__end_block() for the end trace. That way we won't drop the last branch stack if the instruction sample period wasn't hit at the very end.
