[PATCH v2] perf: Fix segbase for ld.lld linked objects

From: Fangrui Song
Date: Fri May 27 2022 - 14:21:00 EST


segbase is the address of .eh_frame_hdr and table_data is segbase plus
the header size. find_proc_info computes segbase as `map->start +
segbase - map->pgoff` which is wrong when

* .eh_frame_hdr and .text are in different PT_LOAD program headers
* and their p_vaddr difference does not equal their p_offset difference

Since 10.0, ld.lld's default --rosegment -z noseparate-code layout has
such R and RX PT_LOAD program headers.

ld.lld (default) => perf report fails to unwind `perf record
--call-graph dwarf` recorded data
ld.lld --no-rosegment => ok (trivial, no R PT_LOAD)
ld.lld -z separate-code => ok but by luck: there are two PT_LOAD but
their p_vaddr difference equals p_offset difference

ld.bfd -z noseparate-code => ok (trivial, no R PT_LOAD)
ld.bfd -z separate-code (default for Linux/x86) => ok but by luck:
there are two PT_LOAD but their p_vaddr difference equals p_offset
difference

To fix the issue, compute segbase as dso's base address plus
PT_GNU_EH_FRAME's p_vaddr. The base address is computed by iterating
over all dso-associated maps and then subtract the first PT_LOAD p_vaddr
(the minimum guaranteed by generic ABI) from the minimum address.

In libunwind, find_proc_info transitively called by unw_step is cached,
so the iteration overhead is acceptable.

Changes from v1:
* Fix elf_base_address to use the first PT_LOAD
* Use dso::elf_base_addr which is a constant even if the dso is loaded into multiple processes
