Currently, the perf tool infrastructure uses the disasm_line__parse
function to parse disassembled line.
Example snippet from objdump:
objdump --start-address=<address> --stop-address=<address> -d --no-show-raw-insn -C <vmlinux>
c0000000010224b4: lwz r10,0(r9)
This line "lwz r10,0(r9)" is parsed to extract instruction name,
registers names and offset.
In powerpc, the approach for data type profiling uses raw instruction
instead of result from objdump to identify the instruction category and
extract the source/target registers.
Example: 38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)
Here "38 01 81 e8" is the raw instruction representation. Add function
"disasm_line__parse_powerpc" to handle parsing of raw instruction.
Also update "struct disasm_line" to save the binary code/
With the change, function captures:
line -> "38 01 81 e8 ld r4,312(r1)"
raw instruction "38 01 81 e8"
Raw instruction is used later to extract the reg/offset fields. Macros
are added to extract opcode and register fields. "struct disasm_line"
is updated to carry union of "bytes" and "raw_insn" of 32 bit to carry raw
code (raw).
Function "disasm_line__parse_powerpc fills the raw instruction hex value
and can use macros to get opcode. There is no changes in existing code
paths, which parses the disassembled code. The size of raw instruction
depends on architecture.
In case of powerpc, the parsing the disasm line needs to handle cases
for reading binary code directly from DSO as well as parsing the objdump
result. Hence adding the logic into separate function instead of
updating "disasm_line__parse". The architecture using the instruction
name and present approach is not altered. Since this approach targets
powerpc, the macro implementation is added for powerpc as of now.
Since the disasm_line__parse is used in other cases (perf annotate) and
not only data tye profiling, the powerpc callback includes changes to
work with binary code as well as mnemonic representation.
Also in case if the DSO read fails and libcapstone is not supported, the
approach fallback to use objdump as option. Hence as option, patch has
changes to ensure objdump option also works well.
