Subject: [PATCH 0/8] Add support for remote unwind
Date: Fri, 6 May 2016 08:59:06 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1462525154-125656-1-git-send-email-hekuang@huawei.com> (raw)

Currently, perf script uses host unwind methods to parse perf.data
callchain info regardless of the target architecture. So we get wrong
result and no promotion when do remote unwind on other
platforms/machines.

This patch set adds build tests for the supported platforms for remote
unwinding, and checks the map elf info for each thread, use remote
unwind methods instead.

Only x86 and aarch64 is added in this patch set to show the work flow,
other platforms can be added easily.

We can see the right result for unwind infos on different machines,
for example: we record perf.data on i686 qemu with '-g' option and
parse it on x86_64 machine.

before this patchset:

  hello  1071 [000]   417.567832: probe:sys_close: (c1169d60)
                  c1169d61 sys_close ([kernel.kallsyms])
                  c189c0d7 sysenter_past_esp ([kernel.kallsyms])
                  b77c8ba9 [unknown] ([vdso32])

after:

  hello  1071 [000]   417.567832: probe:sys_close: (c1169d60)
                  c1169d61 sys_close ([kernel.kallsyms])
                  c189c0d7 sysenter_past_esp ([kernel.kallsyms])
                  b77c8ba9 [unknown] ([vdso32])
                  b76e51cc close (/lib/libc-2.22.so)
                   804842e fib (/tmp/hello)
                   804849d main (/tmp/hello)
                  b762546e __libc_start_main (/lib/libc-2.22.so)
                   8048341 _start (/tmp/hello)

Thanks, discussion welcomed.
