perf probe: Fix to handle optimized not-inlined functions
Fix to handle optimized no-inline functions which have only function definition but no actual instance at that point. To fix this problem, we need to find actual instance of the function. Without this patch: ---- # perf probe -a __up Failed to get entry address of __up. Error: Failed to add events. # perf probe -L __up Specified source line is not found. Error: Failed to show lines. ---- With this patch: ---- # perf probe -a __up Added new event: probe:__up (on __up) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:__up -aR sleep 1 # perf probe -L __up <__up@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-3/kernel/locking/semaphore.c:0> 0 static noinline void __sched __up(struct semaphore *sem) { struct semaphore_waiter *waiter = list_first_entry(&sem->wait_ struct semaphore_waite 4 list_del(&waiter->list); 5 waiter->up = true; 6 wake_up_process(waiter->task); 7 } ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150130093744.30575.43290.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
