perf kvm: Fix bug resolving guest kernel syms
Guest kernel symbols are not resolved despite passing the information
needed to resolve them. e.g.,
perf kvm --guest --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -a -- sleep 1
perf kvm --guest --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount report --stdio
36.55% [guest/11399] [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff81600bc8
33.19% [guest/10474] [unknown] [g] 0x00000000c0116e00
30.26% [guest/11094] [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff8100a288
43.69% [guest/10474] [unknown] [g] 0x00000000c0103d90
37.38% [guest/11399] [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff81600bc8
12.24% [guest/11094] [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff810aa91d
6.69% [guest/11094] [unknown] [u] 0x00007fa784d721c3
which is just pathetic.
After a maddening 2 days sifting through perf minutia I found it --
id_hdr_size is not initialized for guest machines. This shows up on the
report side as random garbage for the cpu and timestamp, e.g.,
29816 7310572949125804849 0x1ac0 [0x50]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP ...
That messes up the sample sorting such that synthesized guest maps are
processed last.
With this patch you get a much more helpful report:
12.11% [guest/11399] [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11399] [g] irqtime_account_process_tick
10.58% [guest/11399] [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11399] [g] run_timer_softirq
6.95% [guest/11094] [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11094] [g] printk_needs_cpu
6.50% [guest/11094] [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11094] [g] do_timer
6.45% [guest/11399] [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11399] [g] idle_balance
4.90% [guest/11094] [guest.kernel.kallsyms.11094] [g] native_read_tsc
...
v2:
- changed rbtree walk to use rb_first per Namhyung's suggestion
