Subject: Wrong Perf Backtraces
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2020 00:54:01 +0430
Message-ID: <bd85fc28dfb5dcf7fc10507c3c86a56d@ut.ac.ir> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <157597d74ff17f781d9de7e7e3defd13@ut.ac.ir>
Hi,
I used "Perf" to extract call graphs in an evince benchmark. The command
used is as follows:
sudo perf record -d --call-graph dwarf -c 10000 e
mem_load_uops_retired.l3_miss:uppp /opt/evince-3.28.4/bin/evince
I extracted the backtraces using "perf script" and found out that there
are many corrupted backtrace instances. Some contained repeated function
calls, for example two consecutive gmallocn()s exactly at the same
offsets. There are also some backtraces where the callers and callees do
not match.
Note that that mappings are correct. In other words, each single line of
the reported backtraces is correct (i.e., addresses match with
functions). But is seems that there are some function calls in the
middle, which are missed by "Perf". Strangely, in all runs (and also
with different sampling frequencies) the problem occurs exactly at the
same place.
I am really confused and looking forward to any help. I can also send
backtraces if needed.
Regards.
