Subject: perf test case probe libc fails with latest Fedora34 glibc update
Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2021 16:21:17 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cae863a4-bf83-f87b-6e71-b6a544678cae@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

I just updated Fedora34 to the latest level and discovered that perf test 78 fails:
[root@m46lp22 perf]# ./perf test 78
78: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : FAILED!
[root@m46lp22 perf]#

It boils down to this command and happens after glibc is update to level 2.33-18.

[root@f34 ~]# perf probe -f -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.33.so -a inet_pton
Probe point 'inet_pton' not found.
  Error: Failed to add events.

The symbol inet_pton is now in the .dynsym section of glibc:
[root@f34 ~]# readelf -sW /usr/lib64/libc-2.33.so | egrep '(dynsym|symtab|inet_pton)'
Symbol table '.dynsym' contains 2419 entries:
   628: 000000000011ea00   108 FUNC    WEAK   DEFAULT   15 inet_pton@@GLIBC_2.2.5
  2251: 000000000011e9b0    76 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT   15 __inet_pton_length@@GLIBC_PRIVATE
Symbol table '.symtab' contains 104 entries:
[root@f34 ~]#

The .symtab section does not contain symbol inet_pton. It contains very few symbols
compared to previous versions.

Now perf does not find it. In the older version of the library the
symbol inet_pton was listed in the .symtab section. Here is the output from version 2.32-4:


[root@m35lp76 ~]# rpm -qa | fgrep glibc

[root@m35lp76 ~]#

And perf could find the symbol, extract its address and install a probe
on that address.
So is this a bug related to the perf tool because it can not handle .dynsym section?
Or is it releated to glibc's rework?

Thanks for your help.
