Re: Wrong Perf Backtraces

Hi,
First of all, many thanks for your time. Did you say that the first file has problems?

The first file (http://gofile.io/?c=qk6oXv) has repeated gmallocn()s while the second (https://gofile.io/?c=oGxgSM) also has problems with unmatched (not necessarily repeated) function calls. I am not sure if the kernel for the second one is 5.4.7 or the generic Ubuntu kernel. But the first one is certainly 5.4.7. Just to be clear, there were many instances of these unmatched <caller, callees>. I have a simple python script that checks for this situation. It disassembles functions using GDB and checks the (directly called) target of each caller. I will put some comments in the script and upload it. Could you check to see if the python script detects any mismatches in your backtraces? It takes the perf script output file as input. I will upload the script in an hour.

Regards.

thanks, so far I don't see that, but I think it's because
the 'inline' code does not resolve the libc dso correctly,
CC-ing few other folks..

so I'm able to get:

EvJobScheduler 17382 13006.872877: 10000 mem_load_uops_retired.l3_miss:uppp: 7fffd2e06588 5080022 N/A|SNP N/A|TLB N/A|LCK N/A
7ffff4b04c74 [unknown] (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.27.so)
7ffff4b072ec malloc+0x27c (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.27.so)
7fffd9872ddd gmalloc+0xd (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.73.0.0) 7fffd9873391 copyString+0x11 (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.73.0.0)

while you see:

EvJobScheduler 17382 13006.872877: 10000 mem_load_uops_retired.l3_miss:uppp: 7fffd2e06588 5080022 N/A|SNP N/A|TLB N/A|LCK N/A
7ffff4b04c74 _int_malloc+0x9a4 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.27.so)
7ffff4b072ec __GI___libc_malloc+0x27c (inlined)
7fffd9872ddd gmalloc+0xd (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.73.0.0) 7fffd9872ddd gmalloc+0xd (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.73.0.0)

so for some reason I don't resolve 7ffff4b04c74, which might
be the reason I don't see the following address twice as you do:

7fffd9872ddd gmalloc+0xd (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.73.0.0) 7fffd9872ddd gmalloc+0xd (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpoppler.so.73.0.0)

the previous field (7ffff4b072ec) is resolved by the
'inline' code, so I wonder it's related

I needed to make some changes to utils/srcline.c to be able
to properly open dso via buildid cache, I pushed it to:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
perf/callchain

here are the steps to get above output:

download perf.data and perf archive data from:
https://gofile.io/?c=o95O7N
http://gofile.io/?c=qk6oXv

$ unxz ./perf.data.xz
$ tar xvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug

compile perf from aobve tree/branch and run:

$ perf script -i perf.data

I think we might be missing some libraries in 'perf archive'
by not following debug_link section, will check on this

I will send the second one as soon as the upload is finished:

The output for the second case is big. I have a small one produced
several
days ago the link of which is as follows:
https://gofile.io/?c=OIPCjx
looking good, but I still need you t run 'perf archive' on top of your
data and send me the perf.data.tar.bz2 it generates, like:

[jolsa@krava perf]$ sudo ./perf record
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.675 MB perf.data (6248 samples) ]

[jolsa@krava perf]$ sudo ./perf archive
Now please run:

$ tar xvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug

wherever you need to run 'perf report' on.

I need that perf.data.tar.bz2 generated from your data

thanks,
jirka

Regards.

yea, no luck.. so if you could generate some reasonable small
perf.data that
shows the issue and send it over together with 'perf archive' data
privately
to me and to whoever else ask for it, so we don't polute the list..
Right. And it may be better if you compress it too.

xz perf.data

and attach the perf.data.xz (and only privately send it to Mr. Olsa).

or if you could put it somewhere on the web/ftp.. that'd be best
