[PATCH 1/2] perf: support specify vdso path in cmdline
Posted by Changbin Du 1 year, 8 months ago
The vdso dumped from process memory (in buildid-cache) lacks debugging
info. To annotate vdso symbols with source lines we need specify a
debugging version.

For x86, we can find them from your local build as
arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so.dbg. Or they may reside in
/lib/modules/<version>/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so on Ubuntu. But notice that
the buildid has to match.

$ sudo perf record -a
$ sudo perf report --objdump=llvm-objdump \
  --vdso arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso64.so.dbg,arch/x86/entry/vdso/vdso32.so.dbg

When doing cross platform analysis, we also need specify the vdso path if
we are interested in its symbols.

We already have logic to find debug files, and to deal with a symbol source
(syms_ss) and runtime symbol source (runtime_ss).

Can't we make that work transparently for vdso so that the user does
not have to.

For Ubuntu, we can find the debug files of vdso in
/lib/modules/<version>/vdso/vdso{32,64}.so. These two are debug version.
