Stephane,
Those data addresses mostly are on the stack, we need reverse resolution using DWARF location expressions to figure out what is the name of a variable that is on a particular address, etc.
Masami, have you played with this already? I mean:
[root@sandy acme]# perf mem -t load rep --stdio --sort=symbol,symbol_daddr,cost # Samples: 30 of event 'cpu/mem-loads/pp' # Total cost : 640 # Sort order : symbol,symbol_daddr,cost # # Overhead Samples Symbol Data Symbol Cost # ........ ........... ...................... ...................... ....... # 55.00% 1 [k] lookup_fast [k] 0xffff8803b7521bd4 352 5.47% 1 [k] cache_alloc_refill [k] 0xffff880407705024 35 3.44% 1 [k] cache_alloc_refill [k] 0xffff88041d8527d8 22 3.28% 1 [k] run_timer_softirq [k] 0xffff88041e2c3e90 21 2.50% 1 [k] __list_add [k] 0xffff8803b7521d68 16 2.19% 1 [.] __strcoll_l [.] 0x00007fffa8d44080 14 1.88% 1 [.] __strcoll_l [.] 0x00007fffa8d44104 12
If we go to the annotation browser to see where is that lookup_fast hitting we get:
100.00 │ mov -0x34(%rbp),%eax
How to map 0xffff8803b7521bd4 to a stack variable, struct members and all?
Humm, for userspace we have PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER for the dwarf unwinder we need for userspace, but what about reverse mapping of kernel variables? Jiri?
