2010-02-04	perf annotate: Fix it for non-prelinked *.so	Kirill Smelkov
	The problem was we were incorrectly calculating objdump addresses for sym->start and sym->end, look: For simple ET_DYN type DSO (.so) with one function, objdump -dS output is something like this: 000004ac <my_strlen>: int my_strlen(const char s) 4ac: 55 push %ebp 4ad: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 4af: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp { i.e. we have relative-to-dso-mapping IPs (=RIP) there. For ET_EXEC type and probably for prelinked libs as well (sorry can't test - I don't use prelink) objdump outputs absolute IPs, e.g. 08048604 <zz_strlen>: extern "C" int zz_strlen(const char s) 8048604: 55 push %ebp 8048605: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp 8048607: 83 ec 10 sub $0x10,%esp { So, if sym->start is always relative to dso mapping(), we'll have to unmap it for ET_EXEC like cases, and leave as is for ET_DYN cases. () and it is - we've explicitely made it relative. Look for adjust_symbols handling in dso__load_sym() Previously we were always unmapping sym->start and for ET_DYN dsos resulting addresses were wrong, and so objdump output was empty. The end result was that perf annotate output for symbols from non-prelinked .so had always 0.00% percents only, which is wrong. To fix it, let's introduce a helper for converting rip to objdump address, and also let's document what map_ip() and unmap_ip() do -- I had to study sources for several hours to understand it.

2010-02-04	perf symbols: Remove perf_session usage in symbols layer	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file, events, etc, so I untied these layers. This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the main kernel map.

2009-12-28	perf tools: Move the map class definition to a separate header	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
	And this resulted in the need for adding some missing includes in some places that were getting the definitions needed out of sheer luck.
