[PATCH v5 4/5] perf: kretprobes: offset from reloc_sym if kernel supports it
From: Naveen N. Rao
Date: Wed Mar 08 2017 - 03:27:33 EST
We indicate support for accepting sym+offset with kretprobes through a
line in ftrace README. Parse the same to identify support and choose the
appropriate format for kprobe_events.
As an example, without this perf patch, but with the ftrace changes:
naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/README | grep kretprobe
place (kretprobe): [<module>:]<symbol>[+<offset>]|<memaddr>
naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$
naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
probe-definition(0): do_open%return
symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
0 arguments
Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
Using /boot/vmlinux for symbols
Open Debuginfo file: /boot/vmlinux
Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
Matched function: do_open [2d0c7d8]
Probe point found: do_open+0
Matched function: do_open [35d76b5]
found inline addr: 0xc0000000004ba984
Failed to find "do_open%return",
because do_open is an inlined function and has no return point.
An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-22).
Trying to use symbols.
Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1
Writing event: r:probe/do_open do_open+0
Writing event: r:probe/do_open_1 do_open+0
Added new events:
probe:do_open (on do_open%return)
probe:do_open_1 (on do_open%return)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:do_open_1 -aR sleep 1
naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
c000000000041370 k kretprobe_trampoline+0x0 [OPTIMIZED]
c0000000004433d0 r do_open+0x0 [DISABLED]
c0000000004433d0 r do_open+0x0 [DISABLED]
And after this patch (and the subsequent powerpc patch):
naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return
probe-definition(0): do_open%return
symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null)
