Subject: [PATCH v3 07/20] perf db-export: Store symbol database IDs in a hashmap
Date: Tue, 10 Nov 2026 14:07:50 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261110220803.2503416-8-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261110220803.2503416-1-irogers@google.com>
Currently, db-export reserves sizeof(u64) bytes ahead of every allocated
struct symbol via symbol_conf.priv_size and accesses the database ID at
a negative offset via symbol__priv(). This adds 8 bytes to every loaded
symbol across all DSOs even when only a subset of symbols are exported,
and relies on negative-offset pointer arithmetic ahead of struct symbol.
Store exported symbol database IDs in an on-demand sym_db_ids hashmap in
struct db_export keyed by struct dso_symbol * instead of using
symbol__priv(), and retain exported struct dso references in db_export
until db_export__exit() so exported DSO and symbol database IDs remain
valid across the export session.
