perf annotate: Introduce --ignore-vmlinux command line option
This is already present in 'perf top', albeit undocumented (will fix), and is useful to use /proc/kcore instead of vmlinux and then get what is really in place, not what the kernel starts with, before alternatives, ftrace .text patching, etc, see the differences: # perf annotate --stdio2 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave _raw_spin_lock_irqsave() /lib/modules/4.16.0-rc4/build/vmlinux Event: anon group { cycles, instructions } 0.00 3.17 → callq __fentry__ 0.00 7.94 push %rbx 7.69 36.51 → callq __page_file_index mov %rax,%rbx 7.69 3.17 → callq *ffffffff82225cd0 xor %eax,%eax mov $0x1,%edx 80.77 49.21 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi) test %eax,%eax ↓ jne 2b 3.85 0.00 mov %rbx,%rax pop %rbx ← retq 2b: mov %eax,%esi → callq queued_spin_lock_slowpath mov %rbx,%rax pop %rbx ← retq [root@jouet ~]# perf annotate --ignore-vmlinux --stdio2 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave _raw_spin_lock_irqsave() /proc/kcore Event: anon group { cycles, instructions } 0.00 3.17 nop 0.00 7.94 push %rbx 0.00 23.81 pushfq 7.69 12.70 pop %rax nop mov %rax,%rbx 7.69 3.17 cli nop xor %eax,%eax mov $0x1,%edx 80.77 49.21 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi) test %eax,%eax ↓ jne 2b 3.85 0.00 mov %rbx,%rax pop %rbx ← retq 2b: mov %eax,%esi → callq *ffffffff820e96b0 mov %rbx,%rax pop %rbx ← retq # Diff of the output of those commands: # perf annotate --stdio2 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave > /tmp/vmlinux # perf annotate --ignore-vmlinux --stdio2 _raw_spin_lock_irqsave > /tmp/kcore # diff -y /tmp/vmlinux /tmp/kcore _raw_spin_lock_irqsave() vmlinux | _raw_spin_lock_irqsave() /proc/kcore Event: anon group { cycles, instructions } Event: anon group { cycles, instructions } 0.00 3.17 → callq __fentry__ | 0.00 3.17 nop 0.00 7.94 push %rbx 0.00 7.94 push %rbx 7.69 36.51 → callq __page_file_index | 0.00 23.81 pushfq > 7.69 12.70 pop %rax > nop mov %rax,%rbx mov %rax,%rbx 7.69 3.17 → callq *ffffffff82225cd0 | 7.69 3.17 cli > nop xor %eax,%eax xor %eax,%eax mov $0x1,%edx mov $0x1,%edx 80.77 49.21 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi) 80.77 49.21 lock cmpxchg %edx,(%rdi) test %eax,%eax test %eax,%eax ↓ jne 2b ↓ jne 2b 3.85 0.00 mov %rbx,%rax 3.85 0.00 mov %rbx,%rax pop %rbx pop %rbx ← retq ← retq 2b: mov %eax,%esi 2b: mov %eax,%esi → callq queued_spin_lock_slowpath| → callq *ffffffff820e96b0 mov %rbx,%rax mov %rbx,%rax pop %rbx pop %rbx ← retq ← retq # This should be further streamlined by doing both annotations and allowing the TUI to toggle initial/current, and show the patched instructions in a slightly different color.
