From 694bf407b06113f5e0f71764756f11903126fec0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2011 16:40:17 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] perf symbols: Add some heuristics for choosing the best duplicate symbol Try and pick the best symbol based on a few heuristics: - Prefer a non weak symbol over a weak one - Prefer a global symbol over a non global one - Prefer a symbol with less underscores (idea taken from kallsyms.c) - If all else fails, choose the symbol with the longest name Cc: Eric B Munson Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110824065243.161953371@samba.org Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/symbol.c | 88 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 88 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/symbol.c b/tools/perf/util/symbol.c index 0d94ddb..870b3b8 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/symbol.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/symbol.c @@ -86,6 +86,92 @@ bool symbol_type__is_a(char symbol_type, enum map_type map_type) } } +static int prefix_underscores_count(const char *str) +{ + const char *tail = str; + + while (*tail == '_') + tail++; + + return tail - str; +} + +#define SYMBOL_A 0 +#define SYMBOL_B 1 + +static int choose_best_symbol(struct symbol *syma, struct symbol *symb) +{ + s64 a; + s64 b; + + /* Prefer a symbol with non zero length */ + a = syma->end - syma->start; + b = symb->end - symb->start; + if ((b == 0) && (a > 0)) + return SYMBOL_A; + else if ((a == 0) && (b > 0)) + return SYMBOL_B; + + /* Prefer a non weak symbol over a weak one */ + a = syma->binding == STB_WEAK; + b = symb->binding == STB_WEAK; + if (b && !a) + return SYMBOL_A; + if (a && !b) + return SYMBOL_B; + + /* Prefer a global symbol over a non global one */ + a = syma->binding == STB_GLOBAL; + b = symb->binding == STB_GLOBAL; + if (a && !b) + return SYMBOL_A; + if (b && !a) + return SYMBOL_B; + + /* Prefer a symbol with less underscores */ + a = prefix_underscores_count(syma->name); + b = prefix_underscores_count(symb->name); + if (b > a) + return SYMBOL_A; + else if (a > b) + return SYMBOL_B; + + /* If all else fails, choose the symbol with the longest name */ + if (strlen(syma->name) >= strlen(symb->name)) + return SYMBOL_A; + else + return SYMBOL_B; +} + +static void symbols__fixup_duplicate(struct rb_root *symbols) +{ + struct rb_node *nd; + struct symbol *curr, *next; + + nd = rb_first(symbols); + + while (nd) { + curr = rb_entry(nd, struct symbol, rb_node); +again: + nd = rb_next(&curr->rb_node); + next = rb_entry(nd, struct symbol, rb_node); + + if (!nd) + break; + + if (curr->start != next->start) + continue; + + if (choose_best_symbol(curr, next) == SYMBOL_A) { + rb_erase(&next->rb_node, symbols); + goto again; + } else { + nd = rb_next(&curr->rb_node); + rb_erase(&curr->rb_node, symbols); + } + } +} + static void symbols__fixup_end(struct rb_root *symbols) { struct rb_node *nd, *prevnd = rb_first(symbols); @@ -692,6 +778,7 @@ int dso__load_kallsyms(struct dso *dso, const char *filename, if (dso__load_all_kallsyms(dso, filename, map) < 0) return -1; + symbols__fixup_duplicate(&dso->symbols[map->type]); symbols__fixup_end(&dso->symbols[map->type]); if (dso->kernel == DSO_TYPE_GUEST_KERNEL) @@ -1269,6 +1356,7 @@ new_symbol: * For misannotated, zeroed, ASM function sizes. */ if (nr > 0) { + symbols__fixup_duplicate(&dso->symbols[map->type]); symbols__fixup_end(&dso->symbols[map->type]); if (kmap) { /* -- 2.7.4
