perf tools: Handle relocatable kernels
DSOs don't have this problem because the kernel emits a
PERF_MMAP for each new executable mapping it performs on
monitored threads.
To fix the kernel case we simulate the same behaviour, by having
'perf record' to synthesize a PERF_MMAP for the kernel, encoded
like this:
[root@doppio ~]# perf record -a -f sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.344 MB perf.data (~15038 samples) ]
[root@doppio ~]# perf report -D | head -10
0xd0 [0x40]: event: 1
.
. ... raw event: size 64 bytes
. 0000: 01 00 00 00 00 00 40 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ......@........
. 0010: 00 00 00 81 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ...............
. 0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 5b 6b 65 72 6e 65 6c 2e ........ [kernel
. 0030: 6b 61 6c 6c 73 79 6d 73 2e 5f 74 65 78 74 5d 00 kallsyms._text]
. 0xd0
[0x40]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP 0/0: [0xffffffff81000000((nil)) @ (nil)]: [kernel.kallsyms._text]
I.e. we identify such event as having:
.pid = 0
.filename = [kernel.kallsyms.REFNAME]
.start = REFNAME addr in /proc/kallsyms at 'perf record' time
and use now a hardcoded value of '.text' for REFNAME.
Then, later, in 'perf report', if there are any kernel hits and
thus we need to resolve kernel symbols, we search for REFNAME
and if its address changed, relocation happened and we thus must
change the kernel mapping routines to one that uses .pgoff as
the relocation to apply.
This way we use the same mechanism used for the other DSOs and
don't have to do a two pass in all the kernel symbols.
