perf symbols: Slightly improve module file executable section mappings
Currently perf does not record module section addresses except for the .text section. In general that means perf cannot get module section mappings correct (except for .text) when loading symbols from a kernel module file. (Note using --kcore does not have this issue) Improve that situation slightly by identifying executable sections that use the same mapping as the .text section. That happens when an executable section comes directly after the .text section, both in memory and on file, something that can be determined by following the same layout rules used by the kernel, refer kernel layout_sections(). Note whether that happens is somewhat arbitrary, so this is not a final solution. Example from tracing a virtual machine process: Before: $ perf script | grep unknown CPU 0/KVM 1718 203.511270: 318341 cpu-cycles:P: ffffffffc13e8a70 [unknown] (/lib/modules/6.7.2-local/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko) $ perf script -vvv 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep kvm.intel | grep 'noinstr.text\|ffff' Map: 0-7e0 41430 [kvm_intel].noinstr.text Map: ffffffffc13a7000-ffffffffc1421000 a0 /lib/modules/6.7.2-local/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko After: $ perf script | grep 203.511270 CPU 0/KVM 1718 203.511270: 318341 cpu-cycles:P: ffffffffc13e8a70 vmx_vmexit+0x0 (/lib/modules/6.7.2-local/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko) $ perf script -vvv 2>&1 >/dev/null | grep kvm.intel | grep 'noinstr.text\|ffff' Map: ffffffffc13a7000-ffffffffc1421000 a0 /lib/modules/6.7.2-local/kernel/arch/x86/kvm/kvm-intel.ko Reported-by: Like Xu <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
