[PATCH] perf probe: Fix failure to add multiple probes without debuginfo

From: He Kuang
Date: Thu Mar 19 2015 - 06:07:08 EST


Perf tries to find probe function addresses from map when debuginfo
could not be found.

To the first added function, the value of ref_reloc_sym was set in
maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym() and can be obtained from
host_machine->kmaps->maps. After that, new maps are added to
host_machine->kmaps->maps in dso__load_kcore(), all these new added maps
do not have a valid ref_reloc_sym.

When adding a second function, get_target_map() may get a map without
valid ref_reloc_sym, and raise the error "Relocated base symbol is not
found".

Fix this by getting ref_reloc_sym from machine->vmlinux_maps.

This problem can be reproduced as following:

$ perf probe --add='sys_write' --add='sys_open'
Relocated base symbol is not found!
Error: Failed to add events.

After this patch:

$ perf probe --add='sys_write' --add='sys_open'
Added new event:
probe:sys_write (on sys_write)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1

Added new event:
probe:sys_open (on sys_open)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:sys_open -aR sleep 1
