Since commit 1fb87b8e9599 ("perf machine: Don't search for active kernel start in __machine__create_kernel_maps"), the __machine__create_kernel_maps() just create a map what start and end are both zero. Though the address will be updated later, the order of map in the rbtree may be incorrect.
The commit ee05d21791db ("perf machine: Set main kernel end address properly") fixed the logic in machine__create_kernel_maps(), but it's still wrong in function machine__process_kernel_mmap_event(). To reproduce this issue, we need an environment which the module address is before the kernel text segment. I tested it on an aarch64 machine with kernel 4.19.25: [root@localhost hulk]# grep _stext /proc/kallsyms ffff000008081000 T _stext [root@localhost hulk]# grep _etext /proc/kallsyms ffff000009780000 R _etext [root@localhost hulk]# tail /proc/modules hisi_sas_v2_hw 77824 0 - Live 0xffff00000191d000 nvme_core 126976 7 nvme, Live 0xffff0000018b6000 mdio 20480 1 ixgbe, Live 0xffff0000018ab000 hisi_sas_main 106496 1 hisi_sas_v2_hw, Live 0xffff000001861000 hns_mdio 20480 2 - Live 0xffff000001822000 hnae 28672 3 hns_dsaf,hns_enet_drv, Live 0xffff000001815000 dm_mirror 40960 0 - Live 0xffff000001804000 dm_region_hash 32768 1 dm_mirror, Live 0xffff0000017f5000 dm_log 32768 2 dm_mirror,dm_region_hash, Live 0xffff0000017e7000 dm_mod 315392 17 dm_mirror,dm_log, Live 0xffff000001780000 [root@localhost hulk]# Before fix: [root@localhost bin]# perf record sleep 3 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (9 samples) ] [root@localhost bin]# perf buildid-list -i perf.data 4c4e46c971ca935f781e603a09b52a92e8bdfee8 [vdso] [root@localhost bin]# perf buildid-list -i perf.data -H 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 /proc/kcore [root@localhost bin]# After fix: [root@localhost tools]# ./perf/perf record sleep 3 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.011 MB perf.data (9 samples) ] [root@localhost tools]# ./perf/perf buildid-list -i perf.data 28a6c690262896dbd1b5e1011ed81623e6db0610 [kernel.kallsyms] 106c14ce6e4acea3453e484dc604d66666f08a2f [vdso] [root@localhost tools]# ./perf/perf buildid-list -i perf.data -H 28a6c690262896dbd1b5e1011ed81623e6db0610 /proc/kcore Signed-off-by: Wei Li <liwei...@huawei.com> --- tools/perf/util/machine.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 20 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/machine.c b/tools/perf/util/machine.c index b1508ce3e412..076718a7b3ea 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/machine.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/machine.c @@ -1358,6 +1358,20 @@ static void machine__set_kernel_mmap(struct machine *machine, machine->vmlinux_map->end = ~0ULL; } +static void machine__update_kernel_mmap(struct machine *machine, + u64 start, u64 end) +{ + struct map *map = machine__kernel_map(machine); + + map__get(map); + map_groups__remove(&machine->kmaps, map); + + machine__set_kernel_mmap(machine, start, end); + + map_groups__insert(&machine->kmaps, map); + map__put(map); +} + int machine__create_kernel_maps(struct machine *machine) { struct dso *kernel = machine__get_kernel(machine); @@ -1390,17 +1404,11 @@ int machine__create_kernel_maps(struct machine *machine) goto out_put; } - /* we have a real start address now, so re-order the kmaps */ - map = machine__kernel_map(machine); - - map__get(map); - map_groups__remove(&machine->kmaps, map); - - /* assume it's the last in the kmaps */ - machine__set_kernel_mmap(machine, addr, ~0ULL); - - map_groups__insert(&machine->kmaps, map); - map__put(map); + /* + * we have a real start address now, so re-order the kmaps + * assume it's the last in the kmaps + */ + machine__update_kernel_mmap(machine, addr, ~0ULL); } if (machine__create_extra_kernel_maps(machine, kernel)) @@ -1536,7 +1544,7 @@ static int machine__process_kernel_mmap_event(struct machine *machine, if (strstr(kernel->long_name, "vmlinux")) dso__set_short_name(kernel, "[kernel.vmlinux]", false); - machine__set_kernel_mmap(machine, event->mmap.start, + machine__update_kernel_mmap(machine, event->mmap.start, event->mmap.start + event->mmap.len); /* -- 2.17.1
