Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf/top: Fix s390 gap between kernel end and module start
During execution of command 'perf top' the error message:
Not enough memory for annotating '__irf_end' symbol!)
is emitted from this call sequence:
__cmd_top
perf_top__mmap_read
perf_top__mmap_read_idx
perf_event__process_sample
hist_entry_iter__add
hist_iter__top_callback
perf_top__record_precise_ip
hist_entry__inc_addr_samples
symbol__inc_addr_samples
symbol__get_annotation
symbol__alloc_hist
In this function the size of symbol __irf_end is calculated. The size
of a symbol is the difference between its start and end address.
When the symbol was read the first time, its start and end was set to:
symbol__new: __irf_end 0xe954d0-0xe954d0
which is correct and maps with /proc/kallsyms:
root@...60046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf# fgrep _irf_end /proc/kallsyms
0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
root@...60046:~/linux-4.15.0/tools/perf#
In function symbol__alloc_hist() the end of symbol __irf_end is
symbol__alloc_hist sym:__irf_end start:0xe954d0 end:0x3ff80045a8
which is identical with the first module entry in /proc/kallsyms
This results in a symbol size of __irf_req for histogram analyses of
70334140059072 bytes and a malloc() for this requested size fails.
The root cause of this is function
__dso__load_kallsyms()
+-> symbols__fixup_end()
Function symbols__fixup_end() enlarges the last symbol in the
kallsyms map
# fgrep __irf_end /proc/kallsyms
0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
#
to the start address of the first module:
# cat /proc/kallsyms | sort | egrep ' [tT] '
....
0000000000e952d0 T __security_initcall_end
0000000000e954d0 T __initramfs_size
0000000000e954d0 t __irf_end
000003ff800045a8 T fc_get_event_number [scsi_transport_fc]
000003ff800045d0 t store_fc_vport_disable [scsi_transport_fc]
000003ff800046a8 T scsi_is_fc_rport [scsi_transport_fc]
000003ff800046d0 t fc_target_setup [scsi_transport_fc]
On s390 the kernel is located around memory address 0x200, 0x10000
or 0x100000, depending on linux version. Modules however start some-
where around 0x3ff xxxx xxxx.
This is different than x86 and produces a large gap for which
histogram allocation fails.
Fix this by detecting the kernel's last symbol and do no
adjustment for it. Introduce a weak function and handle s390 specifics.
