As the documentation for dwfl_frame_pc says, frames that
are no activation frames need to have their program counter
decremented by one to properly find the function of the caller.
This fixes many cases where perf report currently attributes
the cost to the next line. I.e. I have code like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <thread>
#include <chrono>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(1000));
this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(100));
this_thread::sleep_for(chrono::milliseconds(10));
return 0;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now compile and record it:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
g++ -std=c++11 -g -O2 test.cpp
echo 1 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
perf record \
--event sched:sched_stat_sleep \
--event sched:sched_process_exit \
--event sched:sched_switch --call-graph=dwarf \
--output perf.data.raw \
./a.out
echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/kernel/sched_schedstats
perf inject --sched-stat --input perf.data.raw --output perf.data
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before this patch, the report clearly shows the off-by-one issue.
Most notably, the last sleep invocation is incorrectly attributed
to the "return 0;" line:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

--0.91%--main test.cpp:13
__libc_start_main

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With this patch here applied, the issue is fixed. The report becomes
much more usable:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Overhead Source:Line
........ ...........
100.00% core.c:0
|
---__schedule core.c:0
schedule
do_nanosleep hrtimer.c:0
hrtimer_nanosleep

|
|--9.01%--main test.cpp:9
| __libc_start_main
| _start
|
--0.91%--main test.cpp:10
__libc_start_main
_start
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Similarly it works for signal frames:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
__noinline void bar(void)
{
volatile long cnt = 0;
for (cnt = 0; cnt < 100000000; cnt++);
}
__noinline void foo(void)
{
bar();
}
void sig_handler(int sig)
{
foo();
}
int main(void)
{
signal(SIGUSR1, sig_handler);
raise(SIGUSR1);
foo();
return 0;
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before, the report wrongly points to `signal.c:29` after raise():
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ perf report --stdio --no-children -g srcline -s srcline
...
100.00% signal.c:11
|
---bar signal.c:11
|
|--50.49%--main signal.c:29
| __libc_start_main
| _start
|
--49.51%--0x33a8f
raise .:0
main signal.c:29
__libc_start_main
_start
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With this patch in, the issue is fixed and we instead get:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
100.00% signal signal [.] bar
|
---bar signal.c:11
|
|--50.49%--main signal.c:29
| __libc_start_main
| _start
|
--49.51%--0x33a8f
raise .:0
main signal.c:27
__libc_start_main
_start
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Note how this patch fixes this issue for both unwinding methods, i.e.
both dwfl and libunwind. The former case is straight-forward thanks
to dwfl_frame_pc(). For libunwind, we replace the functionality via
unw_is_signal_frame() for any but the very first frame.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
