Ok, but since you added that minimal ELF symtab loading, isn't better to try that first, i.e. if we find a vmlinux file with a build-id and with symbols in it... If that isn't the case, i.e. no vmlinux was found, then we fallback to kallsyms, to check if that is available. I.e. with your new minimalistic ELF symtab loader if we have a suitable vmlinux but no kallsyms, we end up resolving no symbols even having that nice vmlinux :-) Ah, I applied the feature test one (2/3, I think) - Arnaldo > # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol > # ........ ....... ................. ........................ > # > 34.51% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] intel_idle > 12.54% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] generic_exec_single > 10.11% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] int_sqrt > 9.83% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] hrtimer_interrupt > 7.25% emacs [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __switch_to > 7.06% sleep [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_next_iomem_res > 7.02% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] run_timer_softirq > 2.55% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irq > 1.90% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] lapic_next_deadline > 1.75% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_sched_clock > 1.49% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __schedule > 1.20% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] read_tsc > 1.10% sleep [kernel.kallsyms] [k] current_kernel_time > 0.99% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] pick_next_task_rt > 0.36% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] group_sched_in > 0.24% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] x86_pmu_commit_txn > 0.06% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] intel_pmu_enable_all > 0.03% perf [kernel.kallsyms] [k] intel_pmu_enable_all > > Reported-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijls...@chello.nl> > Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hun...@intel.com> > Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhy...@kernel.org> > --- > tools/perf/util/symbol-minimal.c | 3 +++ > 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) > > diff --git a/tools/perf/util/symbol-minimal.c > b/tools/perf/util/symbol-minimal.c > index c9541fea9514..226cf41ed7e6 100644 > --- a/tools/perf/util/symbol-minimal.c > +++ b/tools/perf/util/symbol-minimal.c > @@ -335,6 +335,9 @@ int dso__load_sym(struct dso *dso, struct map *map > __maybe_unused, > unsigned char *build_id[BUILD_ID_SIZE]; > int ret; > > + if (dso->kernel) > + return 0; /* always use kallsyms */ > + > ret = fd__is_64_bit(ss->fd); > if (ret >= 0) > dso->is_64_bit = ret; > -- > 2.1.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
