Re: unresolved function names in perf output

Hi Will,

eu-readelf -s libmlx5-rdmav2.so does not show symbols encountered at run
time but gdb finds them:
Breakpoint 1, 0x0000100009510ae8 in mlx5_poll_cq_1 ()
from /lib64/libmlx5-rdmav2.so .

The address does not match one in the perf output.

I noticed that there is a debug version of the same library installed in a
different directory on Ubuntu but not on Red Hat.
I found a version of libmlx5-rdmav2.so with debug info. No problems
resolving symbol names with it.

Regards

Hi,

It sounds like libmlx5-rdmav2.so might missing debuginfo on the RHEL7.2
version and that is why the addresses are not be mapped back to function
names.  You might try the following to see if there are symbols for that
library:

eu-readelf -s <path_to_library>

Where did you get libmlx5-rdmav2.so?  You might also check to see if there
is an associated debuginfo rpm for that package that needs to be installed.
RHEL packages typically have debug information stripped from the rpm and
placed in a separate debuginfo rpm.
