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: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Overhead Source:Line ........ ........... 100.00% core.c:0 | ---__schedule core.c:0 schedule do_nanosleep hrtimer.c:0 hrtimer_nanosleep sys_nanosleep entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath .tmp_entry_64.o:0 __nanosleep_nocancel .:0 std::this_thread::sleep_for<long, std::ratio<1l, 1000l> > thread:323 | |--90.08%--main test.cpp:9 | __libc_start_main | _start | |--9.01%--main test.cpp:10 | __libc_start_main | _start | --0.91%--main test.cpp:13 __libc_start_main _start ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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 sys_nanosleep entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath .tmp_entry_64.o:0 __nanosleep_nocancel .:0 std::this_thread::sleep_for<long, std::ratio<1l, 1000l> > thread:323 | |--90.08%--main test.cpp:8 | __libc_start_main | _start | |--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.
