perf symbols: Handle different endians properly during symbol load
Currently we dont care about the file object's endianness. It's possible we read buildid file object from different architecture than we are currentlly running on. So we need to care about properly reading such object's data - handle different endianness properly. Adding: needs_swap DSO field dso__swap_init function to initialize DSO's needs_swap DSO__SWAP to read the data with proper swaps Together with other endianity patches, this change fixies perf report discrepancies on origin and target systems as described in test 1 below, e.g. following perf report diff: ... 0.12% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] clear_page - 0.12% awk bash [.] alloc_word_desc + 0.12% awk bash [.] yyparse 0.11% beah-rhts-task libpython2.6.so.1.0 [.] 0x5560e 0.10% perf libc-2.12.so [.] __ctype_toupper_loc - 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] maybe_make_export_env + 0.09% rhts-test-runne bash [.] 0x385a0 0.09% ps [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault ... Note, running following to test perf endianity handling: test 1) - origin system: # perf record -a -- sleep 10 (any perf record will do) # perf report > report.origin # perf archive perf.data - copy the perf.data, report.origin and perf.data.tar.bz2 to a target system and run: # tar xjvf perf.data.tar.bz2 -C ~/.debug # perf report > report.target # diff -u report.origin report.target - the diff should produce no output (besides some white space stuff and possibly different date/TZ output) test 1) - origin system: # perf record -ag -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 - mount origin system root to the target system on /mnt/origin - target system: # perf script --symfs /mnt/origin -I -i /mnt/origin/tmp/perf.data \ --kallsyms /mnt/origin/proc/kallsyms - complete perf.data header is displayed Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Corey Ashford <cjashfor@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1338380624-7443-2-git-send-email-jolsa@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
