perf machine: Include data symbols in the kernel map
When 'perf record -d' is used, it needs data mmaps to symbolize global data. But it missed to collect kernel data maps so it cannot symbolize them. Instead of having a separate map, just increase the kernel map size to include the data section. Probably we can have a separate kernel map for data, but the current code assumes a single kernel map. So it'd require more changes in other places and looks error-prone. I decided not to go that way for now. Also it seems the kernel module size already includes the data section. For example, my system has the following. $ grep -e _stext -e _etext -e _edata /proc/kallsyms ffffffff99800000 T _stext ffffffff9a601ac8 T _etext ffffffff9b446a00 D _edata Size of the text section is (0x9a601ac8 - 0x99800000 = 0xe01ac8) and size including data section is (0x9b446a00 - 0x99800000 = 0x1c46a00). Before: $ perf record -d true $ perf report -D | grep MMAP | head -1 0 0 0x460 [0x60]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff99800000(0xe01ac8) @ 0xffffffff99800000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text ^^^^^^^^ here After: $ perf report -D | grep MMAP | head -1 0 0 0x460 [0x60]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP -1/0: [0xffffffff99800000(0x1c46a00) @ 0xffffffff99800000]: x [kernel.kallsyms]_text ^^^^^^^^^ Instead of just replacing it to _edata, try _edata first and then fall back to _etext just in case.
