[PATCH 3.16 076/148] perf probe: Skip overlapped location on searching variables

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sat Feb 08 2020 - 13:30:25 EST


3.16.82-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit dee36a2abb67c175265d49b9a8c7dfa564463d9a upstream.

Since debuginfo__find_probes() callback function can be called with the
location which already passed, the callback function must filter out
such overlapped locations.

add_probe_trace_event() has already done it by commit 1a375ae7659a
("perf probe: Skip same probe address for a given line"), but
add_available_vars() doesn't. Thus perf probe -v shows same address
repeatedly as below:

# perf probe -V vfs_read:18
Available variables at vfs_read:18
@<vfs_read+217>
char* buf
loff_t* pos
ssize_t ret
struct file* file
@<vfs_read+217>
char* buf
loff_t* pos
ssize_t ret
struct file* file
@<vfs_read+226>
char* buf
loff_t* pos
ssize_t ret
struct file* file

With this fix, perf probe -V shows it correctly:

# perf probe -V vfs_read:18
Available variables at vfs_read:18
@<vfs_read+217>
char* buf
loff_t* pos
ssize_t ret
struct file* file
@<vfs_read+226>
char* buf
loff_t* pos
ssize_t ret
struct file* file
