    perf script: Show correct offsets for DWARF-based unwinding · 2a9d5050
    Sandipan Das authored
    When perf/data is recorded with the dwarf call-graph option, the
    callchain shown by 'perf script' still shows the binary offsets of the
    userspace symbols instead of their virtual addresses. Since the symbol
    offset calculation is based on using virtual address as the ip, we see
    incorrect offsets as well.
    
    The use of virtual addresses affects the ability to find out the
    line number in the corresponding source file to which an address
    maps to as described in commit 67540759 ("perf unwind: Use
    addr_location::addr instead of ip for entries").
    
    This has also been addressed by temporarily converting the virtual
    address to the correponding binary offset so that it can be mapped
    to the source line number correctly.
    
    This is a follow-up for commit 19610184
    
     ("perf script: Show
    virtual addresses instead of offsets").
    
    This can be verified on a powerpc64le system running Fedora 27 as
    shown below:
    
      # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so -a inet_pton
      # perf record -e probe_libc:inet_pton --call-graph=dwarf ping -6 -c 1 ::1
    
    Before:
    
      # perf report --stdio --no-children -s sym,srcline -g address
    
      # Samples: 1  of event 'probe_libc:inet_pton'
      # Event count (approx.): 1
