It should pass a proper address (i.e. suitable for objdump or addr2line)
to get_srcline() in order to work correctly. It used to pass an address
with map__rip_2objdump() as the second argument but later it's changed
to use notes->start. It's ok in normal cases but it can be changed when
annotate_opts.full_addr is set. So let's convert the address directly
instead of using the notes->start.
Also the last argument is an IP to print symbol offset if requested. So
it should pass symbol-relative address.

Consolidate capstone print functions, to reduce duplication. Amend call
sites to use a file pointer for output, which is consistent with most

Avoid open-coding that simple expression each time by moving
BYTES_TO_BITS() from the probes code to <linux/bitops.h> to export
it to the rest of the kernel.
Simplify the macro while at it. `BITS_PER_LONG / sizeof(long)` always
equals to %BITS_PER_BYTE, regardless of the target architecture.
Do the same for the tools ecosystem as well (incl. its version of
bitops.h). The previous implementation had its implicit type of long,
while the new one is int, so adjust the format literal accordingly in
the perf code.

The 'perf lock contention' program currently shows the caller of the locks
as __traceiter_contention_begin+0x??. This caller can be ignored, as it is
from the traceiter itself. Instead, it should show the real callers for
the locks.
When fiddling with the --stack-skip parameter, the actual callers for
the locks start to show up. However, just ignore the
__traceiter_contention_begin and the __traceiter_contention_end symbols
so the actual callers will show up.

Add perf_pmu__name_from_config that does a reverse lookup from a
config number to an alias name. The lookup is expensive as the config
is computed for every alias by filling in a perf_event_attr, but this
is only done when verbose output is enabled. The lookup also only
considers config, and not config1, config2 or config3.
An example of the output:
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true

When dumping a perf_event_attr, use pmus to find the PMU and its name
by the type number. This allows dynamically added PMUs to be described.
Before:
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 24
size 136
config 0x20ff
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
...
After:
$ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
...
perf_event_attr:

size 136
config 0x20ff
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
exclude_guest 1
...
However, it also means that when we have a PMU name we prefer it to a
hard coded name:
Before:
$ perf stat -vv -e faults true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
size 136
config 0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
...
After:
$ perf stat -vv -e faults true
...
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (software)
size 136
config 0x2 (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS)
sample_type IDENTIFIER
read_format TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
disabled 1
inherit 1
enable_on_exec 1
exclude_guest 1
...
It feels more consistent to do this, rather than only prefer a PMU
name when a hard coded name isn't available.

There are different patterns for percpu variable access using a constant
value added to the base.
2aeb: mov -0x7da0f7e0(,%rax,8),%r14 # r14 = __per_cpu_offset[cpu]
2af3: mov $0x34740,%rax # rax = address of runqueues
* 2afa: add %rax,%r14 # r14 = &per_cpu(runqueues, cpu)
2bfd: cmpl $0x0,0x10(%r14) # cpu_rq(cpu)->has_blocked_load
2b03: je 0x2b36
At the first instruction, r14 has the __per_cpu_offset. And then rax
has an immediate value and then added to r14 to calculate the address of
a per-cpu variable. So it needs to track the immediate values and ADD
instructions.
Similar but a little different case is to use "this_cpu_off" instead of
"__per_cpu_offset" for the current CPU. This time the variable address
comes with PC-rel addressing.
89: mov $0x34740,%rax # rax = address of runqueues
* 90: add %gs:0x7f015f60(%rip),%rax # 19a78 <this_cpu_off>
98: incl 0xd8c(%rax) # cpu_rq(cpu)->sched_count

This is to support per-cpu variable access often without a matching
DWARF entry. For some reason, I cannot find debug info of per-cpu
variables sometimes. They have more complex pattern to calculate the
address of per-cpu variables like below.
2b7d: mov -0x1e0(%rbp),%rax ; rax = cpu
2b84: mov -0x7da0f7e0(,%rax,8),%rcx ; rcx = __per_cpu_offset[cpu]
* 2b8c: mov 0x34870(%rcx),%rax ; *(__per_cpu_offset[cpu] + 0x34870)
Let's assume the rax register has a number for a CPU at 2b7d. The next
instruction is to get the per-cpu offset' for that cpu. The offset
-0x7da0f7e0 is 0xffffffff825f0820 in u64 which is the address of the
'__per_cpu_offset' array in my system. So it'd get the actual offset
of that CPU's per-cpu region and save it to the rcx register.
Then, at 2b8c, accesses using rcx can be handled same as the global
variable access. To handle this case, it should check if the offset
of the instruction matches to the address of '__per_cpu_offset'.

On x86, the kernel gets the current task using the current macro like
below:
#define current get_current()
static __always_inline struct task_struct *get_current(void)
{
return this_cpu_read_stable(pcpu_hot.current_task);
}
So it returns the current_task field of struct pcpu_hot which is the
first member. On my build, it's located at 0x32940.
$ nm vmlinux | grep pcpu_hot
0000000000032940 D pcpu_hot
And the current macro generates the instructions like below:
mov %gs:0x32940, %rcx
So the %gs segment register points to the beginning of the per-cpu
region of this cpu and it points the variable with a constant.
Let's update the instruction location info to have a segment register
and handle %gs in kernel to look up a global variable. Pretend it as
a global variable by changing the register number to DWARF_REG_PC.

If it failed to find a variable for the location directly, it might be
due to a missing variable in the source code. For example, accessing
pointer variables in a chain can result in the case like below:
struct foo *foo = ...;
int i = foo->bar->baz;
The DWARF debug information is created for each variable so it'd have
one for 'foo'. But there's no variable for 'foo->bar' and then it
cannot know the type of 'bar' and 'baz'.
The above source code can be compiled to the follow x86 instructions:
mov 0x8(%rax), %rcx
mov 0x4(%rcx), %rdx <=== PMU sample
mov %rdx, -4(%rbp)
Let's say 'foo' is located in the %rax and it has a pointer to struct
foo. But perf sample is captured in the second instruction and there
is no variable or type info for the %rcx.
It'd be great if compiler could generate debug info for %rcx, but we
should handle it on our side. So this patch implements the logic to
iterate instructions and update the type table for each location.
As it already collected a list of scopes including the target
instruction, we can use it to construct the type table smartly.
+---------------- scope[0] subprogram
|
| +-------------- scope[1] lexical_block
| |
| | +------------ scope[2] inlined_subroutine
| | |
| | | +---------- scope[3] inlined_subroutine
| | | |
| | | | +-------- scope[4] lexical_block
| | | | |
| | | | | *** target instruction
...
Image the target instruction has 5 scopes, each scope will have its own
variables and parameters. Then it can start with the innermost scope
(4). So it'd search the shortest path from the start of scope[4] to
the target address and build a list of basic blocks. Then it iterates
the basic blocks with the variables in the scope and update the table.
If it finds a type at the target instruction, then returns it.
Otherwise, it moves to the upper scope[3]. Now it'd search the shortest
path from the start of scope[3] to the start of scope[4]. Then connect
it to the existing basic block list. Then it'd iterate the blocks with
variables for both scopes. It can repeat this until it finds a type at
the target instruction or reaches to the top scope[0].
As the basic blocks contain the shortest path, it won't worry about
branches and can update the table simply.
The final check will be done by find_matching_type() in the next patch.

instruction can access compound types like struct or union and load/
store its members to a different location.
The die_deref_ptr_type() is to find a type of memory access with a
pointer variable. If it points to a compound type like struct, the
target memory is a member in the struct. The access will happen with an
offset indicating which member it refers. Let's follow the DWARF info
to figure out the type of the pointer target.
For example, say we have the following code.
struct foo {
int a;
int b;
};
struct foo *p = malloc(sizeof(*p));
p->b = 0;
The last pointer access should produce x86 asm like below:
mov 0x0, 4(%rbx)
And we know %rbx register has a pointer to struct foo. Then offset 4
should return the debug info of member 'b'.
Also variables of compound types can be accessed directly without a
pointer. The die_get_member_type() is to handle a such case.

If the --itrace option is used more than once, the options are
combined, but "i" and "y" (sub-)options can be corrupted because
itrace_do_parse_synth_opts() incorrectly overwrites the period type and
period with default values.
For example, with:
--itrace=i0ns --itrace=e
The processing of "--itrace=e", resets the "i" period from 0 nanoseconds
to the default 100 microseconds.
Fix by performing the default setting of period type and period only if
"i" or "y" are present in the currently processed --itrace value.
