Being const + weak breaks with some compilers that constant-propagate
from the weak symbol. This behavior is outside of the specification, but
in LLVM is chosen to match GCC's behavior.
LLVM's implementation was set in this patch:
f49573d1ee
A const + weak symbol is set to be weak_odr:
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html
ODR is one definition rule, and given there is one constant definition
constant-propagation is possible. It is possible to get this code to
miscompile with LLVM when applying link time optimization. As compilers
become more aggressive, this is likely to break in more instances.
Move the definition of sample_reg_masks to the conditional part of
perf_regs.h and guard usage with HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT. This avoids the
weak symbol.
Fix an issue when HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT isn't defined from patch v1.
In v3, add perf_regs.c for architectures that HAVE_PERF_REGS_SUPPORT but
don't declare sample_regs_masks.
Further notes:
Jiri asked:
"Is this just a precaution or you actualy saw some breakage?"
Ian answered:
"We saw a breakage with clang with thinlto enabled for linking. Our
compiler team had recently seen, and were surprised by, a similar issue
and were able to dig out the weak ODR issue."

Perf tool need implement a callback to enable using AUX buffer. Perf
will do another mmap() to trigger the setup of AUX buffer in kernel
if there is such callback. The default size of the AUX buffer is set
properly according to the sampling frequency to avoid overflow. It
could also be manually set by -m option of perf.
The interface of perf is not changed. Diagnostic mode sampling
could be started by `perf record -e rBD000` like before.

On s390x perf test 1 failed. It turned out that commit cf6383f73c
("perf report: Fix kernel symbol adjustment for s390x") was incorrect.
The previous implementation in dso__load_sym() is also suitable for
s390x.
Therefore this patch undoes commit cf6383f73c

Fixes: cf6383f73c ("perf report: Fix kernel symbol adjustment for s390x")

On s390x the kernel text segment starts at address 0x0. When perf
report reads kernel symbols from vmlinux file it adds an offset of
0x1000.
For example see symbol set_reset_devices:
[root@s8360047 linux-devel]# nm -A vmlinux| fgrep set_reset_devices
vmlinux:0000000001379000 t set_reset_devices
[root@s8360047 linux-devel]#
[root@s8360047 linux-devel]# fgrep set_reset_devices /proc/kallsyms
0000000001379000 t set_reset_devices
[root@s8360047 linux-devel]#
The kernel symbol table and the vmlinux file have the same address for
symbol set_reset_devices namely 1379000.
When perf report reads this symbols it displays it with address
symbol__new: set_reset_devices 0x137a000-0x137a018
There is a difference between perf report and vmlinux of 0x1000.
The reason for the difference is at kernel symbol load time in function
dso__load_sym(). The vmlinux file is investigated with its ELF header.
Command readelf shows this:
Section Headers:
[Nr] Name Type Address Offset
Size EntSize Flags Link Info Align
[ 0] NULL 0000000000000000 00000000
0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0 0 0
[ 1] .text PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00001000
0000000000b0e0c2 0000000000000000 AX 0 0 128
This leads to an invalid calculation of the symbol start address, see
file utit/symbol-elf.c line 974:
/* Adjust symbol to map to file offset */
if (adjust_kernel_syms)
sym.st_value -= shdr.sh_addr - shdr.sh_offset;
With shdr.sh_addr set to 0x0 and shdr.sh_offset set to 0x1000 as read
from the ELF .text section 0x1000 is added to the symbol address.
I would like to fix this by introducing an archticture specific function
named elf__needs_adjust_symbols(). This is the same approach as done by
PowerPC. The function currently does not exist for s390x and the
default weak one is used. The s390x specific one returns false when
symsrc_init() is invoked for kernel symbols and results in variable
adjust_kernel_syms being false. This omits the adjustment and the
correct address is displayed (when symbol resolvement does not work).
The s390x specific function returns false for kernel symbol adjustment
and returns true for kernel modules, processes and shared libraries.

At present, when creating module's map, perf gets 'start' address by
parsing '/proc/modules', but it's the module base address, it isn't the
start address of the '.text' section.
In most arches, it's OK. But for s390, it places 'GOT' and 'PLT'
relocations before '.text' section. So there exists an offset between
module base address and '.text' section, which will incur wrong symbol
resolution for modules.
Fix this bug by getting 'start' address of module's map from parsing
'/sys/module/[module name]/sections/.text', not from '/proc/modules'.
