Asm routines that end up having size equal to zero are not really
zero sized, and as now we do kernel_maps__fixup_sym_end, at least
for kernel routines this gets fixed.
A similar fixup needs to be done for the userspace bits as well,
but as this fixup started only because in /proc/kallsyms we don't
have the end address nor the function size, it appeared here first.

Avi Kivity reported 'perf annotate' failures with modules, the
requested function was not annotated.
If there are no modules currently loaded, or the last module
scanned is not loaded, dso__load_modules() steps on the value from
dso__load_vmlinux(), so we happily load the kallsyms symbols on top
of what we've already loaded.
Fix that such that the total count of symbols loaded is returned.
Should module symbol load fail after parsing of vmlinux, is's a
hard failure, so do not silently fall-back to kallsyms.

Librarize trace_event() helper so that perf trace can use it
too. Also clean up the debug.h includes a bit.
It's not good to have it included in perf.h because it doesn't
make it flexible against other headers it may need (headers
that can also depend on perf.h and then create a recursive
header dependency).

Related to a shadowed variable bug fix Valdis Kletnieks noticed
that perf does not get built with -Wshadow, which could have
helped us avoid the bug.
So enable -Wshadow and also enable the following warnings on
perf builds, in addition to the already enabled -Wall -Wextra
-std=gnu99 warnings:
-Wcast-align
-Wformat=2
-Wshadow
-Winit-self
-Wpacked
-Wredundant-decls
-Wstack-protector
-Wstrict-aliasing=3
-Wswitch-default
-Wswitch-enum
-Wno-system-headers
-Wundef
-Wvolatile-register-var
-Wwrite-strings
-Wbad-function-cast
-Wmissing-declarations
-Wmissing-prototypes
-Wnested-externs
-Wold-style-definition
-Wstrict-prototypes
-Wdeclaration-after-statement
And change/fix the perf code to build cleanly under GCC 4.3.2.
The list of warnings enablement is rather arbitrary: it's based
on my (quick) reading of the GCC manpages and trying them on
perf.
I categorized the warnings based on individually enabling them
and looking whether they trigger something in the perf build.
If i liked those warnings (i.e. if they trigger for something
that arguably could be improved) i enabled the warning.
If the warnings seemed to come from language laywers spamming
the build with tons of nuisance warnings i generally kept them
off. Most of the sign conversion related warnings were in
this category. (A second patch enabling some of the sign
warnings might be welcome - sign bugs can be nasty.)
I also kept warnings that seem to make sense from their manpage
description and which produced no actual warnings on our code
base. These warnings might still be turned off if they end up
being a nuisance.
I also left out a few warnings that are not supported in older
compilers.
[ Note that these changes might break the build on older
compilers i did not test, or on non-x86 architectures that
produce different warnings, so more testing would be welcome. ]

It is better than showing the map addr, this way at least we
know that we can't get the symtabs because the DSO was deleted
(system update) while an app still used such DSO.
Yeah, don't do that, but if you do, you'll figure it out
quicker this way.

Since the C++ demangling isn't needed for everybody and
bfd/iberty aren't widely/easily available on all machines, make
it optional.
It also allows you to forcefully disable demangling by using
NO_DEMANGLE=1 and otherwise tries to detect libbfd/libiberty
combinations that result in a compiling demangler.

vmlinux meets the criteria for symbol adjustment, which breaks vmlinux generated symbols.
Fix this by exempting vmlinux. This is a bit fragile in that someone could change the

Also add these extra options to control the new behaviour:
-w, --field-width
Force each column width to the provided list, for large terminal
readability.
-t, --field-separator:
Use a special separator character and don't pad with spaces, replacing
all occurances of this separator in symbol names (and other output) with
a '.' character, that thus it's the only non valid separator.

Rename ->prelinked to ->adjust_symbols and making what was done
only for prelinked libraries also to ET_EXEC binaries, such as
/usr/bin/git:
[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -h /usr/bin/git | grep Type
Type: EXEC (Executable file)
[acme@doppio pahole]$
And after installing the 'git-debuginfo' package, I get correct results:

I'll check what are the last cases where we can't resolve symbols, like

I.e. we can't handle these two kinds of files in the same way:
1) prelinked system library:
[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
278: 00000030450105a0 261 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 dwfl_report_elf@@ELFUTILS_0.122
2) not prelinked library with debug information from a -debuginfo package:
[acme@doppio pahole]$ readelf -s /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libdw-0.141.so.debug | egrep 'FUNC.+GLOBAL.+dwfl_report_elf'
629: 00000000000105a0 261 FUNC GLOBAL DEFAULT 12 dwfl_report_elf

Lucas De Marchi reported that perf report and perf annotate
displays mismatching profile if a perf.data is analyzed on
an older kernel - even if the correct vmlinux is specified
via the -k option.
The reason is the fallback path in util/symbol.c:dso__load_kernel():
int dso__load_kernel(struct dso *self, const char *vmlinux,
symbol_filter_t filter, int verbose)
{
int err = -1;
if (vmlinux)
err = dso__load_vmlinux(self, vmlinux, filter, verbose);
if (err)
err = dso__load_kallsyms(self, filter, verbose);
return err;
}
dso__load_vmlinux() returns negative on error, but on success it
returns the number of symbols loaded - which confuses the function
to load the kallsyms.
This is normally harmless, as reporting is usually performed on the
same kernel that is analyzed - but if there's a mismatch then we
load the wrong kallsyms and create a non-sensical symbol tree.
The fix is to only fall back to kallsyms on errors.

On 64-bit powerpc, __u64 is defined to be unsigned long rather than
unsigned long long. This causes compiler warnings every time we
print a __u64 value with %Lx.
Rather than changing __u64, we define our own u64 to be unsigned long
long on all architectures, and similarly s64 as signed long long.
For consistency we also define u32, s32, u16, s16, u8 and s8. These
definitions are put in a new header, types.h, because these definitions
are needed in util/string.h and util/symbol.h.
The main change here is the mechanical change of __[us]{64,32,16,8}
to remove the "__". The other changes are:
* Create types.h
* Include types.h in perf.h, util/string.h and util/symbol.h
* Add types.h to the LIB_H definition in Makefile
* Added (u64) casts in process_overflow_event() and print_sym_table()
to kill two remaining warnings.

A build error slipped in:
builtin-report.c: In function ‘hist_entry__fprintf’:
builtin-report.c:711: error: format ‘%12d’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t’
Because we got a bit sloppy with those types. uint64_t really sucks,
because there's no printf format for it. So standardize on __u64
instead - for all types that go to or come from the ABI (which is __u64),
or for values that need to be large enough even on 32-bit.

This patch adds support for profiling JIT generated code to 'perf
report'. A JIT compiler is required to generate a "/tmp/perf-$PID.map"
symbols map that is parsed when looking and displaying symbols.
Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for his help with this patch!
Example "perf report" output with the Jato JIT:
#
# (40311 samples)
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol
# ........ ................ ......................... ......
#
97.80% jato /tmp/perf-11915.map [.] Fibonacci.fib(I)I
0.56% jato 00000000b7fa023b 0x000000b7fa023b
0.45% jato /tmp/perf-11915.map [.] Fibonacci.main([Ljava/lang/String;)V
0.38% jato [kernel] [k] get_page_from_freelist
0.06% jato [kernel] [k] kunmap_atomic
0.05% jato ./jato [.] utf8Hash

the "perf report" utility crashed in some circumstances
because the "sym" stack variable was not initialized before used
(as also proven by valgrind).
With this fix both the crash goes away and valgrind no longer complains.

Several people have suggested that 'perf' has become a full-fledged
tool that should be moved out of Documentation/. Move it to the
(new) tools/ directory.
