4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 1fe627da30331024f453faef04d500079b901107 ]
libdwfl parses an ELF file itself and creates mappings for the individual sections. perf on the other hand sees raw mmap events which represent individual sections. When we encounter an address pointing into a mapping with pgoff != 0, we must take that into account and report the file at the non-offset base address.
This fixes unwinding with libdwfl in some cases. E.g. for a file like:
```
using namespace std;
mutex g_mutex;
double worker() { lock_guard<mutex> guard(g_mutex); uniform_real_distribution<double> uniform(-1E5, 1E5); default_random_engine engine; double s = 0; for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) { s += norm(complex<double>(uniform(engine), uniform(engine))); } cout << s << endl; return s; }
int main() { vector<std::future<double>> results; for (int i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { results.push_back(async(launch::async, worker)); } return 0; } ```
Compile it with `g++ -g -O2 -lpthread cpp-locking.cpp -o cpp-locking`, then record it with `perf record --call-graph dwarf -e sched:sched_switch`.
When you analyze it with `perf script` and libunwind, you should see:

Note that the backtrace is still stopping too early, when compared to the nice results obtained via libunwind. It's unclear so far what the reason for that is.
Committer note:
Further comment by Milian on the thread started on the Link: tag below:
--- The remaining issue is due to a bug in elfutils:
https://sourceware.org/ml/elfutils-devel/2018-q4/msg00089.html
With both patches applied, libunwind and elfutils produce the same output for the above scenario. ---
