Hi Frederic, David,
This patch series adds the functions to analyze BTS logs to perf-script and, makes perf-script more informative. The patches add the following functions. - Resolve DSOs and symbols for BTS's branch_from addresses - Resolve DSOs and symbols for user-space address - Show the offset of symbols with '--show-symbol-offset' option. - Resolve the real path of [kernel.kallsym] using '--show-kernel-path' option.
Usage: First, we get the BTS log with the following command. # perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d <command>
Second, analyze it. # perf script -f ip,addr,sym,dso [--show-symbol-offset] [--show-kernel-path] This command's output format is: <branch_to addr> <branch_to function(+offset)> <branch_to DSO> <branch_from addr> <branch_from function(+offset)> <branch_from DSO>
Output sample: # perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d ls [snip] # perf script -f ip,addr,sym,dso --show-symbol-offset --show-kernel-path 301ec016b0 (/lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-tip+/build/vmlinux) ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 (/lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-tip+/build/vmlinux) 301ec016b0 _start+0x0 (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 (/lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-tip+/build/vmlinux) 301ec04b70 _dl_start+0x0 (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) 301ec016b3 _start+0x3 (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) 301ec04b70 _dl_start+0x0 (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 (/lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-tip+/build/vmlinux) 301ec04b96 _dl_start+0x26 (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 (/lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-tip+/build/vmlinux) 301ec04b9d _dl_start+0x2d (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 (/lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-tip+/build/vmlinux) 301ec04c0d _dl_start+0x9d (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) 301ec04beb _dl_start+0x7b (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) [snip] 401fd0 main+0x0 (/root/bin/ls) 301f021399 __libc_start_main+0xe9 (/lib64/libc-2.14.so) 409ad0 set_program_name+0x0 (/root/bin/ls) 401ff3 main+0x23 (/root/bin/ls) 409ad0 set_program_name+0x0 (/root/bin/ls) ffffffff81467612 irq_return+0x0 (/lib/modules/3.0.0-rc3-tip+/build/vmlinux) 401ca8 strrchr@plt+0x0 (/root/bin/ls) 409ade set_program_name+0xe (/root/bin/ls) 401cae strrchr@plt+0x6 (/root/bin/ls) 401ca8 strrchr@plt+0x0 (/root/bin/ls) 401a38 _init+0x18 (/root/bin/ls) 401cb3 strrchr@plt+0xb (/root/bin/ls) 301ec13840 _dl_runtime_resolve+0x0 (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) 401a3e _init+0x1e (/root/bin/ls) 301ec0d6a0 _dl_fixup+0x0 (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) 301ec13870 _dl_runtime_resolve+0x30 (/lib64/ld-2.14.so) [snip]
TODO: - add source code path field, line number field ...etc. - add record/report script to use easily and, show human-friendly output. - filtering kernel functions using scripts
BTW, I couldn't run a script generated by 'perf script -g {pyton|perl}' with branch events. How do I make scripts analyzing branch events?
# perf record -e branches:u -c 1 -d ls # perf script -g python # perf script -s perf-script.py in trace_begin Fatal: no event_list! # perf script -g perl # perf script -s perf-script.pl Fatal: no event_list!
Thanks,
