[PATCHv11 2.6.36-rc2-tip 15/15] 15: perf: Show Potential probe points.

From: Srikar Dronamraju
Date: Wed Aug 25 2010 - 09:49:14 EST



Introduces an option to list potential probes to probe using perf probe
command. Also introduces an option to limit the dso to list the potential
probes. Listing of potential probes is sorted by dso and
alphabetical order.

Changelog from V9:
Filter labels, weak, and local binding functions from listing
as suggested by Christoph Hellwig.
Incorporated comments from Arnaldo on Version 9 of patchset.

Show all potential probes in the current running kernel and limit to
the last 10 functions.
# perf probe -S | tail
zlib_inflateInit2
zlib_inflateReset
zlib_inflate_blob
zlib_inflate_table
zlib_inflate_workspacesize
zone_pcp_update
zone_reclaim
zone_reclaimable_pages
zone_statistics
zone_watermark_ok

Show all potential probes in a process by pid 3104 across all dsos
and limit to the last 10 functions.
# perf probe -S -p 3104 | tail

Show all potentail probes in a process by pid 3104 limit to zsh dso
and limit to the last 10 functions.
