[PATCH 26/27] perf probe: Match linkage name with mangled name

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu Sep 29 2016 - 10:38:49 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Match linkage name with mangled name if exists. The linkage_name is used
for storing mangled name of the object.

Thus, this allows 'perf probe' to find appropriate probe point from
mangled symbol as below.

E.g. without this fix:
----
$ perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 \
-D _ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv
Probe point '_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv'
not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
----

With this fix, perf probe can find the correct one.
----
$ perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 \
-D _ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv
p:probe_libstdc/_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv
/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x8ca60
----

Committer notes:

After the fix, setting it for real (no -D/--definition, that amounts to
a --dry-run):

# perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 _ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv
Added new event:
probe_libstdc:_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv (on _ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)

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

perf record -e probe_libstdc:_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv -aR sleep 1

# perf probe -l probe_libstdc:*
probe_libstdc:_ZNKSt15basic_fstreamXXIwSt11char_traitsIwEE7is_openEv (on is_open@libstdc++-v3/include/fstream in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22)
