[PATCH perf/core 1/4] perf-probe: Fix to show correct locations for events on modules

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Sat Jan 07 2017 - 00:26:38 EST


Fix to show correct locations for events on modules by
relocating given address. Currently the relocation is
done when we failed to find the address in debuginfo,
but for modules it always makes a mistakes.

E.g. without this fix, events on module seems wrong,
but other cases (kernel and user space) looks good.

# perf probe -l
probe:SyS_remap_file_pages (on SyS_remap_file_pages@mm/mmap.c)
probe:chv_prepare_pll (on intel_plane_atomic_get_property+16@drm/i915/intel_atomic_plane.c in i915)
probe_perf:alias_lookup (on alias_lookup@util/alias.c in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf)

With this fix, all cases are OK now.

# perf probe -l
probe:SyS_remap_file_pages (on SyS_remap_file_pages@mm/mmap.c)
probe:chv_prepare_pll (on chv_prepare_pll@gpu/drm/i915/intel_display.c in i915)
probe_perf:alias_lookup (on alias_lookup@util/alias.c in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf)
