Function perf_event_mmap() is called by the MM subsystem each time part of a binary is loaded in memory. There can be several mapping for a binary, many times unrelated to the code section. Each time a section of a binary is mapped address filters are updated, event when the map doesn't pertain to the code section. The end result is that filters are configured based on the last map event that was received rather than the last mapping of the code segment. For example if we have an executable 'main' that calls library 'libcstest.so.1.0', and that we want to collect traces on code that is in that library. The perf cmd line for this scenario would be: perf record -e cs_etm// --filter 'filter 0x72c/0x40@/opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0' --per-thread ./main Resulting in binaries being mapped this way: root@linaro-nano:~# cat /proc/1950/maps 00400000-00401000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 00410000-00411000 r--p 00000000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 00411000-00412000 rw-p 00001000 08:02 33169 /home/linaro/main 7fa2464000-7fa2474000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa2474000-7fa25a4000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25a4000-7fa25b3000 ---p 00130000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b3000-7fa25b7000 r--p 0012f000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b7000-7fa25b9000 rw-p 00133000 08:02 543 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc-2.21.so 7fa25b9000-7fa25bd000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25bd000-7fa25be000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25be000-7fa25cd000 ---p 00001000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25cd000-7fa25ce000 r--p 00000000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25ce000-7fa25cf000 rw-p 00001000 08:02 38308 /opt/lib/libcstest.so.1.0 7fa25cf000-7fa25eb000 r-xp 00000000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7fa25ef000-7fa25f2000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25f7000-7fa25f9000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 7fa25f9000-7fa25fa000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar] 7fa25fa000-7fa25fb000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 7fa25fb000-7fa25fc000 r--p 0001c000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7fa25fc000-7fa25fe000 rw-p 0001d000 08:02 574 /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/ld-2.21.so 7ff2ea8000-7ff2ec9000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] root@linaro-nano:~# Before 'main' can execute 'libcstest.so.1.0' has to be loaded in memory. Once that has been done perf_event_mmap() has been called 4 times, with the last map starting at address 0x7fa25ce000 and the address filter configured to start filtering when the IP has passed over address 0x0x7fa25ce72c (0x7fa25ce000 + 0x72c). But that is wrong since the code segment for library 'libcstest.so.1.0' as been mapped at 0x7fa25bd000, resulting in traces not being collected. This patch corrects the situation by requesting that address filters be updated only if the mapped event is for a code segment.
