[PATCH v2 0/4] Support for llvm-addr2line

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Mon Apr 03 2023 - 14:40:51 EST


The addr2line command is started and then addresses piped to it. In
order to determine the end of a addr2lines output a ',' it output with
an expectation to get '??\n??:0\n' as a reply. llvm-addr2line differs
in that ',' generates a reply of ','.

The approach detects and then caches the addr2line style. When records
are read the sentinel is detected appropriately.

Comparing the output there is a little more inline data on my machine
with llvm-addr2line:
$ sudo perf record -a -g sleep 1
$ sudo perf report --addr2line=addr2line > a.txt
$ sudo perf report --addr2line=llvm-addr2line > b.txt
$ wc -l a.txt b.txt
12386 a.txt
12477 b.txt

Some other small changes, switching to the api/io code to avoid file
streams wrapping the command's stdin/stdout. Ignore SIGPIPE for when
addr2line exits and writes fail.

v2. Address review comments from Arnaldo and Namhyung, fixing a
realloc error path, argument ordering and a comment.
