[PATCH perf/core 1/6] [BUGFIX] perf-probe: Fix to handle optimized not-inlined but has no instance

[Masami Hiramatsu]

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  }
