perf unwind: Report module before querying isactivation in dwfl unwind The PC returned by dwfl_frame_pc() may map into a not-yet-reported module. We have to report it before we continue unwinding. But when we query for the isactivation flag in dwfl_frame_pc, libdw will actually do one more unwinding step internally which can then break and lead to missed frames or broken stacks. With libunwind we get e.g.: ~~~~~ heaptrack_gui 2228 135073.400474: 613969 cycles: 108c8e [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 1093bc [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 109e7b QLocale::QLocale (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 1470ff [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 147f67 QSystemLocale::query (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 109fbf QLocalePrivate::updateSystemPrivate (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 10aa27 QLocale::QLocale (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 1e02c3 [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 2113bb [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 211505 [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 1b5df0 QFileInfo::exists (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 92eb2 [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 93423 [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 93d2a QLibraryInfo::location (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 2170af [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 297c53 QCoreApplicationPrivate::init (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) f7cde QGuiApplicationPrivate::init (/usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0) 1589e8 QApplicationPrivate::init (/usr/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5.8.0) 78622 main (/home/milian/projects/compiled/other/bin/heaptrack_gui) 20439 __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.25.so) 78299 _start (/home/milian/projects/compiled/other/bin/heaptrack_gui) heaptrack_gui 2228 135073.401156: 569521 cycles: 131633 QString::endsWith (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 1a0701 QDir::cleanPath (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 21b82d [unknown] (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 1b3727 QFileInfo::canonicalFilePath (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 2780c7 QFactoryLoader::update (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) 279525 QFactoryLoader::QFactoryLoader (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) e5bd0 QPlatformIntegrationFactory::create (/usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0) f5a1c QGuiApplicationPrivate::createPlatformIntegration (/usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0) f650c QGuiApplicationPrivate::createEventDispatcher (/usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0) 298524 QCoreApplicationPrivate::init (/usr/lib/libQt5Core.so.5.8.0) f7cde QGuiApplicationPrivate::init (/usr/lib/libQt5Gui.so.5.8.0) 1589e8 QApplicationPrivate::init (/usr/lib/libQt5Widgets.so.5.8.0) 78622 main (/home/milian/projects/compiled/other/bin/heaptrack_gui) 20439 __libc_start_main (/usr/lib/libc-2.25.so) 78299 _start (/home/milian/projects/compiled/other/bin/heaptrack_gui) ~~~~~ Note the two frames 1589e8 and 78622 in the first sample.
