Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] Add a libdw addr2line implementation
Date: Sat, 10 Jan 2026 00:26:41 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260110082647.1487574-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)
addr2line is a performance bottleneck in perf, add a libdw based
implementation that avoids forking addr2line and caches the decoded
debug information.
Allow the addr2line implementation to be picked via the configuration
file or --addr2line-style with `perf report`.
Test/fix that inline callchains are properly displayed by perf script.
v2: Fix bias issue with libdwfl functions. Use cu_walk_functions_at
from perf's dwarf-aux to fully walk inline functions. Add testing
that inlined functions are shown in the perf script srcline
callchain information. Add configurability as to which addr2line
style to use.
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20251122093934.94971-1-irogers@google.com/
Ian Rogers (6):
perf addr2line: Add a libdw implementation
perf addr2line.c: Rename a2l_style to cmd_a2l_style
perf srcline: Add configuration support for the addr2line style
perf callchain: Fix srcline printing with inlines
perf test workload: Add inlineloop test workload
perf test: Test addr2line unwinding works with inline functions
