Summary

For the pathname reported in kinfo_vmentry structures (kve_path), the
sysctl handlers walk the object chain to find the bottom-most VM object.
This permits a COW mapping of a file with dirty pages to report the
pathname of the originally mapped file. Do the same for the object
offset (kve_offset) computing a cumulative offset during the same object
walk so that the reported offset is relative to the reported pathname.

Note that this does not affect procstat -v output (even structured
output) since that output does not include the kve_offset field.

Test Plan
  • Compare 'info proc mappings' from a gdb patch set that adds 'info proc' support and reports project mappings.

Event Timeline

Here is some before/after output. The 'before' is actually from stable/11 rather than HEAD. Both are from running /bin/ls to the start of main() via 'start':

I do find the entries with an offset in the 'before' version rather curious. All but one of them are PROT_NONE mappings that from the corresponding 'procstat -v' output all have "dead" VM objects (type shows up as "--" in procstat -v output).

This is because these entries are remnants of the larger entry created for the whole dso region, and then covered by segment mappings. The inter-segment space is obtained by split of the large MAP_GUARD map entry, which does not have the backing object at all. This is cosmetic and I am not sure we need to do anything with the offsets in case of splitting MAP_GUARD.

ptrace(PT_VM_ENTRY) is already summing offsets.
