[RFC 0/6] perf annotate: Enable cross arch annotate

[RFC 0/6] perf annotate: Enable cross arch annotate

[Ravi Bangoria]

Perf can currently only support code navigation (branches and calls) in
annotate when run on the same architecture where perf.data was recorded.
But cross arch annotate is not supported.

This patchset enables cross arch annotate. Currently I've used x86
and arm instructions which are already available and adding support
for powerpc as well. Adding support for other arch will be easy.

I've created this patch on top of acme/perf/core. And tested it with
x86 and powerpc only.

Example:

  Record on powerpc:
  $ ./perf record -a

  Report -> Annotate on x86:
  $ ./perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc

  perf annotate: add powerpc support

[RFC 1/6] perf: Remove unused hist_entry__annotate function

[Ravi Bangoria]

hist_entry__annotate looks part of API but I don't find any caller
of this function. Removing it.

[RFC 3/6] perf annotate: Enable cross arch annotate

[Ravi Bangoria]

Change current data structures and function to enable cross arch annotate
and add support for x86 and arm instructions.

Current implementation does not contain logic of recording on one arch
and annotating on other. This remote annotate is partially possible with
current implementation for x86 (or may be arm as well) only. But, to make
remote annotation work properly, all architecture instruction tables need
to be included in the perf binary. And while annotating, look for
instruction table where perf.data was recorded.

For arm, few instructions were defined under #if __arm__ which I've used
as a table for arm. But I'm not sure whether instruction defined outside
of that also contains arm instructions.

Note:
Here arch_ins is global var. And init_arch_ins will be called every
time when we annotate symbol. So I still need to optimize this.
May be make arch_ins per session. Please suggest best way to do it.

[RFC 4/6] perf annotate: generalize handling of ret instructions

[Ravi Bangoria]

From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Introduce helper to detect ret instructions and use the same in the tui.
A helper is needed since some architectures such as powerpc have more
than one return instruction.

[RFC 5/6] perf annotate: add powerpc support

[Ravi Bangoria]

From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n.rao@linux.vnet.ibm.com>

Powerpc has long list of branch instructions and hardcoding them in table
appears to be error-prone. So, add new function to find instruction
instead of creating table.

[RFC 6/6] perf: add more triplets

[Ravi Bangoria]

Add few more triplets based on Fedora and Ubuntu binutils(cross tools).

Before applying patch on x86:
  ( Install binutils-powerpc64-linux-gnu.x86_64 )
  $ perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc \
      --objdump powerpc64-linux-gnu-objdump

After applying patch on x86:
  $ perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc

Why do we need arch specific find functions? Why not pass the
instructions pointer to it, just like you did with ins__sort().

Probably it is not needed to be global, you just pick the right
instructions table + its ARRAY_SIZE and pass it around, again, like you
did in ins__sort().

Thanks Arnaldo for suggestion.

To determine arch in ins__find, I need to pass 'arch' till ins__find and 
which
requires changes in definition of many functions. So, I thought about global
var.

Anyway, I've prepared a patch as you suggested and sent it as a [PATCH].
Please review it.

perf annotate: Generalize handling of 'ret' instructions

Introduce helper to detect 'ret' instructions and use the same in the TUI.
A helper is needed since some architectures such as powerpc have more
than one return instruction.

perf tools: Add more toolchain triplets

Add few more triplets based on Fedora and Ubuntu binutils (cross tools).

Before applying patch on x86:

  ( Install binutils-powerpc64-linux-gnu.x86_64 )
  $ perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc \
      --objdump powerpc64-linux-gnu-objdump

After applying patch on x86:

  $ perf report -i perf.data.powerpc --vmlinux vmlinux.powerpc

I.e. it will find the right objdump from the environment data recorded
in the perf.data file + these triplets.
