perf symbols: Try the .debug/ DSO cache as a last resort
Not as the first attempt at finding a vmlinux for the running kernel, this way we get a more informative filename to present in tools, it will check that the build-id is the same as the one previously loaded in the DSO in dso->build_id, reading from /sys/kernel/notes, for instance. E.g. in the annotation TUI, going from 'perf top', for the scsi_sg_alloc kernel function, in the first line: Before: scsi_sg_alloc /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 After: scsi_sg_alloc /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux And: # ls -la /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 81 Sep 22 16:11 /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 -> ../../home/git/build/v4.3.0-rc1+/vmlinux/282777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 # file ~/.debug/home/git/build/v4.3.0-rc1+/vmlinux/282777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 /root/.debug/home/git/build/v4.3.0-rc1+/vmlinux/282777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=282777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1, not stripped # The same as: # file /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, BuildID[sha1]=282777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1, not stripped Furthermore: # sha256sum /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux e7a789bbdc61029ec09140c228e1dd651271f38ef0b8416c0b7d5ff727b98be2 /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux # sha256sum ~/.debug/home/git/build/v4.3.0-rc1+/vmlinux/282777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 e7a789bbdc61029ec09140c228e1dd651271f38ef0b8416c0b7d5ff727b98be2 /root/.debug/home/git/build/v4.3.0-rc1+/vmlinux/282777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 [root@zoo new]# Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-9y42ikzq3jisiddoi6f07n8z@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
