Detailed Description

An uber-fast (multiprocessing, pipelined and asynchronous) ELF symbolizer.

This class is a frontend for addr2line (part of GNU binutils), designed to
symbolize batches of large numbers of symbols for a given ELF file. It
supports sharding symbolization against many addr2line instances and
pipelining of multiple requests per each instance (in order to hide addr2line
internals and OS pipe latencies).

The interface exhibited by this class is a very simple asynchronous interface,
which is based on the following three methods:
- SymbolizeAsync(): used to request (enqueue) resolution of a given address.
- The |callback| method: used to communicated back the symbol information.
- Join(): called to conclude the batch to gather the last outstanding results.
In essence, before the Join method returns, this class will have issued as
many callbacks as the number of SymbolizeAsync() calls. In this regard, note
that due to multiprocess sharding, callbacks can be delivered out of order.

Some background about addr2line:
- it is invoked passing the elf path in the cmdline, piping the addresses in
its stdin and getting results on its stdout.
- it has pretty large response times for the first requests, but it
works very well in streaming mode once it has been warmed up.
- it doesn't scale by itself (on more cores). However, spawning multiple
instances at the same time on the same file is pretty efficient as they
keep hitting the pagecache and become mostly CPU bound.
- it might hang or crash, mostly for OOM. This class deals with both of these
problems.

Despite the "scary" imports and the multi* words above, (almost) no multi-
threading/processing is involved from the python viewpoint. Concurrency
here is achieved by spawning several addr2line subprocesses and handling their
output pipes asynchronously. Therefore, all the code here (with the exception
of the Queue instance in Addr2Line) should be free from mind-blowing
thread-safety concerns.

The multiprocess sharding works as follows:
The symbolizer tries to use the lowest number of addr2line instances as
possible (with respect of |max_concurrent_jobs|) and enqueue all the requests
in a single addr2line instance. For few symbols (i.e. dozens) sharding isn't
worth the startup cost.
The multiprocess logic kicks in as soon as the queues for the existing
instances grow. Specifically, once all the existing instances reach the
|max_queue_size| bound, a new addr2line instance is kicked in.
In the case of a very eager producer (i.e. all |max_concurrent_jobs| instances
have a backlog of |max_queue_size|), back-pressure is applied on the caller by
blocking the SymbolizeAsync method.

This module has been deliberately designed to be dependency free (w.r.t. of
other modules in this project), to allow easy reuse in external projects.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __init__()

def elf_symbolizer.ELFSymbolizer.__init__ (   self,
  elf_file_path,
  addr2line_path,
  callback,
  inlines = False,
  max_concurrent_jobs = None,
  addr2line_timeout = 30,
  max_queue_size = 50,
  source_root_path = None,
  strip_base_path = None 
)
Args:
elf_file_path: path of the elf file to be symbolized.
addr2line_path: path of the toolchain's addr2line binary.
callback: a callback which will be invoked for each resolved symbol with
  the two args (sym_info, callback_arg). The former is an instance of
  |ELFSymbolInfo| and contains the symbol information. The latter is an
  embedder-provided argument which is passed to SymbolizeAsync().
inlines: when True, the ELFSymbolInfo will contain also the details about
  the outer inlining functions. When False, only the innermost function
  will be provided.
max_concurrent_jobs: Max number of addr2line instances spawned.
  Parallelize responsibly, addr2line is a memory and I/O monster.
max_queue_size: Max number of outstanding requests per addr2line instance.
addr2line_timeout: Max time (in seconds) to wait for a addr2line response.
  After the timeout, the instance will be considered hung and respawned.
source_root_path: In some toolchains only the name of the source file is
  is output, without any path information; disambiguation searches
  through the source directory specified by |source_root_path| argument
  for files whose name matches, adding the full path information to the
  output. For example, if the toolchain outputs "unicode.cc" and there
  is a file called "unicode.cc" located under |source_root_path|/foo,
  the tool will replace "unicode.cc" with
  "|source_root_path|/foo/unicode.cc". If there are multiple files with
  the same name, disambiguation will fail because the tool cannot
  determine which of the files was the source of the symbol.
strip_base_path: Rebases the symbols source paths onto |source_root_path|
  (i.e replace |strip_base_path| with |source_root_path).
