He Kuang reported a problem that perf fails to get correct symbol on Android platform in [1]. The problem can be reproduced on normal x86_64 platform. I will describe the reproducing steps in detail at the end of commit message. The reason of this problem is the missing of symbol adjustment for normal shared objects. In most of the cases it is okay skipping adjustment. However, the result is wrong when '.text' section have different 'address' and 'offset'. I checked all shared objects in my working platform, only wine dll objects and debug objects (in .debug) have this problem. However, it is common on Android. For example: $ readelf -S ./libsurfaceflinger.so | grep \.text [10] .text PROGBITS 0000000000029030 00012030 This patch enables symbol adjustment for dynamic objects so the symbol address got from elfutils would be adjusted correctly. Now nearly all type of ELF file should adjust symbols. Makes ss->adjust_symbols default to true. Steps to reproduce the problem: $ cat ./Makefile PWD := $(shell pwd) LDFLAGS += "-Wl,-rpath=$(PWD)" CFLAGS += -g main: main.c libbuggy.so libbuggy.so: buggy.c gcc -g -shared -fPIC -Wl,-Ttext-segment=0x200000 $< -o $@ clean: rm -rf main libbuggy.so *.o $ cat ./buggy.c int fib(int x) { return (x == 0) ? 1 : (x == 1) ? 1 : fib(x - 1) + fib(x - 2); } $ cat ./main.c #include <stdio.h> extern int fib(int x); int main() { int i; for (i = 0; i < 40; i++) printf("%d\n", fib(i)); return 0; } $ make $ perf record ./main ... $ perf report --stdio # Overhead Command Shared Object Symbol # ........ ....... ................. ............................... # 14.97% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x000000000000066c 8.68% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x00000000000006aa 8.52% main libbuggy.so [.] fib@plt 7.95% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x0000000000000664 5.94% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x00000000000006a9 5.35% main libbuggy.so [.] 0x0000000000000678 ...
