[PATCH v1 00/13] perf inject improvements

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Sat Aug 17 2024 - 02:45:12 EST


Fix the existing build id injection by adding sample IDs on to the
synthesized events. This correctly orders the events and addresses
issues such as a profiled executable being replaced during its
execution.

Add a new --mmap2-buildid-all option that rewrites all mmap events as
mmap2 events containing build IDs. This removes the need for build_id
events.

Add a new -B option that like --mmap2-buildid-all synthesizes mmap2
with build id events. With -B the behavior is to do it lazily, so only
when a sample references the particular map. With system wide
profiling that synthesizes mmap events for all running processes the
perf.data file savings can be greater than 50%.

Reduce the memory footprint of perf inject by avoiding creating
symbols in the callchain, the symbols aren't used during perf inject
and necessitate the loading of dsos.

Ian Rogers (13):
perf synthetic-events: Avoid unnecessary memset
perf map: API clean up
perf jit: Constify filename argument
perf dso: Constify dso_id
perf evsel: Constify evsel__id_hdr_size argument
perf test: Expand pipe/inject test
perf inject: Combine build_ids and build_id_all into enum
perf inject: Combine different mmap and mmap2 functions
perf inject: Combine mmap and mmap2 handling
perf inject: Fix build ID injection
perf inject: Add new mmap2-buildid-all option
perf inject: Lazy build-id mmap2 event insertion
perf callchain: Allow symbols to be optional when resolving a
callchain
