perf symbols: Add support for 'variable' symtabs
Example: { u64 addr = strtoull(sym_filter, NULL, 16); struct map *map = map_groups__find(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, addr); if (map == NULL) pr_err("couldn't find map!\n"); else { struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol(map, addr, NULL); if (sym == NULL) pr_err("couldn't find addr!\n"); else pr_info("addr %#Lx is in %s global var\n", addr, sym->name); } exit(0); } Added just after symbol__init() call in 'perf top', then: { u64 addr = strtoull(sym_filter, NULL, 16); struct map *map = map_groups__find(kmaps, MAP__VARIABLE, addr); if (map == NULL) pr_err("couldn't find map!\n"); else { struct symbol *sym = map__find_symbol(map, addr, NULL); if (sym == NULL) pr_err("couldn't find addr!\n"); else pr_info("addr %#Lx is in %s global var\n", addr, sym->name); } exit(0); } [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# grep ' [dD] ' /proc/kallsyms | grep ' sched' ffffffff817827d8 d sched_nr_latency ffffffff81782ce0 d sched_domains_mutex ffffffff8178c070 d schedstr.22423 ffffffff817909a0 d sched_register_mutex ffffffff81823490 d sched_feat_names ffffffff81823558 d scheduler_running ffffffff818235b8 d sched_clock_running ffffffff818235bc D sched_clock_stable ffffffff81824f00 d sched_switch_trace [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s 0xffffffff817827d9 addr 0xffffffff817827d9 is in sched_nr_latency global var [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s ffffffff81782ce0 addr 0xffffffff81782ce0 is in sched_domains_mutex global var [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s ffffffff81782ce0 --vmlinux OFF The file OFF cannot be used, trying to use /proc/kallsyms...addr 0xffffffff81782ce0 is in sched_domains_mutex global var [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf top -s ffffffff818235bc --vmlinux OFF The file OFF cannot be used, trying to use /proc/kallsyms...addr 0xffffffff818235bc is in sched_clock_stable global var [root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# So it works with both /proc/kallsyms and with ELF symtabs, either the one on the vmlinux explicitely passed via --vmlinux or in one in the vmlinux_path that matches the buildid for the running kernel or the one found in the buildid header section in a perf.data file.
