@wlei-llvm somehow i remember we had something like that before (long time ago)? did we remove the symbol table loading code in the past?

Yeah, iirc, we initially only loaded the function ranges from symbol table, then after we found the issue with the multi-version function(foo.cold, foo.resume...), we redesigned and fully switched to load the symbol from dwarf.

At that time, the code was implemented inside the dissassembleSymbol(which also iterates the symbols),

For reference, this is the patch https://reviews.llvm.org/D112282 we did the switch to use dwarf symbol.

Why is pseudo-probe required here?

Ohh, this is to be compatible with the code here:

if (Binary->usePseudoProbes()) {
generateProbeBasedProfile();
} else {
generateLineNumBasedProfile();
}

UsePseudoProbes is needed so we won't use line numbers to generate profile, which won't work with symtab because symtab only have addresses

Will this result in a large number of warnings since most of the symbols can be obtained from DWARF?

I think the Ret.second check shall skip all the symbols that already obtained from DWARF. (the symbol name will exists in the BinaryFunctions and the emplace shall prevent the insertation and Ret.second will be set to "false")

auto Ret = BinaryFunctions.emplace(SymName, BinaryFunction());

Symbol table finding entry already existing in dwarf should not be a warning.

When that happens, we should check if they both point to same ranges, and only warn when

  1. symbol table and dwarf conflicts for the actual range.
  2. something is in symbol table, but not in dwarf (suggesting dwarf corrupted, e.g. due to relo overflow)

Updated this part and the warning shall now capture case 1. And I've merged (2) into the PerfScriptReader::warnInvalidRange :)
