[PATCH 3.16 066/148] perf probe: Fix to probe a function which has no entry pc
From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sat Feb 08 2020 - 13:37:28 EST
3.16.82-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 5d16dbcc311d91267ddb45c6da4f187be320ecee upstream.
Fix 'perf probe' to probe a function which has no entry pc or low pc but
only has ranges attribute.
probe_point_search_cb() uses dwarf_entrypc() to get the probe address,
but that doesn't work for the function DIE which has only ranges
attribute. Use die_entrypc() instead.
Without this fix:
# perf probe -k ../build-x86_64/vmlinux -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
With this:
# perf probe -k ../build-x86_64/vmlinux -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0
Committer testing:
Before:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
[root@quaco ~]#
After:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
Added new event:
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask -aR sleep 1
[root@quaco ~]#
Using it with 'perf trace':
[root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
Doesn't seem to be used in x86_64:
$ find . -name "*.c" | xargs grep clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
./kernel/cpu.c: * clear_tasks_mm_cpumask - Safely clear tasks' mm_cpumask for a CPU
./kernel/cpu.c:void clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(int cpu)
./arch/xtensa/kernel/smp.c: clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
./arch/csky/kernel/smp.c: clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
./arch/sh/kernel/smp.c: clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
./arch/arm/kernel/smp.c: clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
./arch/powerpc/mm/nohash/mmu_context.c: clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
$ find . -name "*.h" | xargs grep clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
./include/linux/cpu.h:void clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(int cpu);
$ find . -name "*.S" | xargs grep clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
$
