The perf report tool does not display the addresses of kernel
module symbols correctly.

For example symbol qeth_send_ipa_cmd in kernel module qeth.ko
has this relative address for function qeth_send_ipa_cmd()
[root@s8360047 linux]# nm -g drivers/s390/net/qeth.ko | fgrep send_ipa_cmd
0000000000013088 T qeth_send_ipa_cmd

The module is loaded at address
[root@s8360047 linux]# cat /sys/module/qeth/sections/.text
0x000003ff80296d20
[root@s8360047 linux]#

This should result in a start address of
0x13088 + 0x3ff80296d20 = 0x3ff802a9da8

Using crash to verify the address on a live system:
[root@s8360046 linux]# crash vmlinux

crash 7.1.9++

3ff802a9da8 (T) qeth_send_ipa_cmd [qeth] /root/linux/drivers/s390/net/qeth_core_main.c: 2944
crash>

Now perf report displays the address of symbol qeth_send_ipa_cmd:
symbol__new: qeth_send_ipa_cmd 0x130f0-0x132ce

There is a difference of 0x68 between the entry in the
symbol table (see nm command above) and perf. The difference is from
the offset the .text segment of qeth.ko:

[root@s8360047 perf]# readelf -a drivers/s390/net/qeth.ko
Section Headers:
  [Nr] Name              Type             Address           Offset

       0000000000000000  0000000000000000           0     0     0

  [ 2] .text             PROGBITS         0000000000000000  00000068
       000000000001c8a0  0000000000000000  AX       0     0     8

As seen the .text segment has an offset of 0x68 with start address 0x0.
Therefore 0x68 is added to the address of qeth_send_ipa_cmd and thus
0x13088 + 0x68 = 0x130f0 is displayed.

This is wrong, perf report needs to display the start address of
symbol qeth_send_ipa_cmd at 0x13088 + qeth.ko.text section start address.

The qeth.ko module .text start address is available in the qeth.ko
DSO map. Just identify the kernel module symbols and correct the
addresses.

With the fix I see this correct address for symbol:
symbol__new: qeth_send_ipa_cmd 0x3ff802a9da8-0x3ff802a9f86

I am not sure if this patch uses the perfect approach.
Hints and sugguests welcome.
I saw this problem on x86_64 too and I don't know why we add sh_offset
to symbols.  To me, current symbol code is somewhat hacky and needs
some love.

Thanks,
Namhyung
Okay, how do we continue with this issue?
The patch I submitted uses a __weak function of s390x and does not
address other platforms.
Not sure.  The symbol code is complex and needs to consider many
cases.  I think we need to rethink the 'adjust_symbols' logic and
to check adding 'sh_offset' is valid.
right, there are way too many details, we need more tests in 'perf test'
and then go on simplifying that code.

But as a first step I think we can add yet this arch specific bit, at
least we will have it documented how this works in yet another arch,
then, when simplifying the code, we would take it into account, and
retest on those arches.

Arnaldo, Namhyung,

just a quick reminder, do you intend to pick these two patches?
Should I resent them again?

Please let me know?
