Subject: [PATCH RESEND WITH CCs v3 4/4] perf tools: determine if LR is the return address
On arm64 and frame pointer mode (e.g: perf record --callgraph fp),
use dwarf unwind info to check if the link register is the return
address in order to inject it to the frame pointer stack.
Write the following application:
int a = 10;
void f2(void)
{
for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
a *= a;
}
void f1()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
f2();
}
int main (void)
{
f1();
return 0;
}
with the following compilation flags:
gcc -fno-omit-frame-pointer -fno-inline -O2
The compiler omits the frame pointer for f2 on arm. This is a problem
with any leaf call, for example an application with many different
calls to malloc() would always omit the calling frame, even if it
can be determined.
./perf record --call-graph fp ./a.out
./perf report
currently gives the following stack:
0xffffea52f361
_start
__libc_start_main
main
f2
After this change, perf report correctly shows f1() calling f2(),
even though it was missing from the frame pointer unwind:
./perf report
0xffffea52f361
_start
__libc_start_main
main
f1
f2
