[PATCH] perf record: use unmapped IP for inline callchain cursors

From: Milian Wolff
Date: Tue Oct 02 2018 - 03:40:10 EST


Only use the mapped IP to find inline frames, but keep
using the unmapped IP for the callchain cursor. This
ensures we properly show the unmapped IP when displaying
a frame we received via the dso__parse_addr_inlines API
for a module which does not contain sufficient debug symbols
to show the srcline.

Before:
$ perf record -e cycles:u --call-graph ls
$ perf script
...
ls 12853 2735.563911: 43354 cycles:u:
17878 __GI___tunables_init+0xffff01d1d63a0118 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
19ee9 _dl_sysdep_start+0xffff01d1d63a02e9 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
3087 _dl_start+0xffff01d1d63a0287 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
2007 _start+0xffff01d1d63a0007 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)

After:

$ perf script
...
ls 12853 2735.563911: 43354 cycles:u:
7f1714e46878 __GI___tunables_init+0x118 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
7f1714e48ee9 _dl_sysdep_start+0x2e9 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
7f1714e32087 _dl_start+0x287 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)
7f1714e31007 _start+0x7 (/usr/lib/ld-2.28.so)

For frames with sufficient debug symbols, the behavior is
still sane and works as expected in my tests.

This patch series shows that we desperately need
an automated test for inline frame resolution. I'll try to
come up with something for the various regressions in the future.
