Subject: [PATCH 4.9 101/310] perf report: Fix off-by-one for non-activation frames
4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@...b.com>
[ Upstream commit 1982ad48fc82c284a5cc55697a012d3357e84d01 ]
As the documentation for dwfl_frame_pc says, frames that
are no activation frames need to have their program counter
decremented by one to properly find the function of the caller.
This fixes many cases where perf report currently attributes
the cost to the next line. I.e. I have code like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(1000));
this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(100));
this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(10));
return 0;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now compile and record it:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
g++ -std=c++11 -g -O2 test.cpp
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
perf record \
--event sched:sched_stat_sleep \
--event sched:sched_process_exit \
--event sched:sched_switch --call-graph=dwarf \
--output perf.data.raw \
./a.out
echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
perf inject --sched-stat --input perf.data.raw --output perf.data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before this patch, the report clearly shows the off-by-one issue.
Most notably, the last sleep invocation is incorrectly attributed
to the "return 0;" line:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With this patch here applied, the issue is fixed. The report becomes
much more usable:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overhead Source:Line
........ ...........
100.00% core.c:0
|
---__schedule core.c:0
schedule
do_nanosleep hrtimer.c:0

| __libc_start_main
| _start
|
--0.91%--main test.cpp:10
__libc_start_main
_start
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Similarly it works for signal frames:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
__noinline void bar(void)
{
volatile long cnt = 0;
for (cnt = 0; cnt < 100000000; cnt++);
}
__noinline void foo(void)
{
bar();
}
void sig_handler(int sig)
{
foo();
}
int main(void)
{
signal(SIGUSR1, sig_handler);
raise(SIGUSR1);
foo();
return 0;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before, the report wrongly points to `signal.c:29` after raise():
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ perf report --stdio --no-children -g srcline -s srcline
...
100.00% signal.c:11
|
---bar signal.c:11
|
|--50.49%--main signal.c:29
| __libc_start_main
| _start
|
--49.51%--0x33a8f
raise .:0
main signal.c:29
__libc_start_main
_start
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With this patch in, the issue is fixed and we instead get:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
100.00% signal signal [.] bar
|
---bar signal.c:11
|
|--50.49%--main signal.c:29
| __libc_start_main
| _start
|
--49.51%--0x33a8f
raise .:0
main signal.c:27
__libc_start_main
_start
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note how this patch fixes this issue for both unwinding methods, i.e.
both dwfl and libunwind. The former case is straight-forward thanks
to dwfl_frame_pc(). For libunwind, we replace the functionality via
unw_is_signal_frame() for any but the very first frame.
