ba28c59bc9 perf probe: Finder fails to resolve function name to address
If DIE entries corresponding to declarations appear before definition
entry, probe finder returns error instead of continuing to look further
for a definition entry.

This patch ensures we reach to the DIE entry corresponding to the
definition and get the function address.

V2: A simpler solution based on Masami's suggestion.

26b7952494 perf probe: Ensure offset provided is not greater than function length
The perf probe command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from a
function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended location.

Example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though size of do_fork
is ~904.

This patch will ensure probe addition fails when the offset specified is
greater than size of the function.

d30d4a080d perf tools: Remove unnecessary ctype.h inclusion
There are unnecessary #include <ctype.h> out there, and they might cause
a nasty build failure in some environment. As we already have most of
ctype macros in util.h, just get rid of them.

A few of exceptions are util/symbol.c which needs isupper() macro util.h
doesn't provide and perl scripting support code which includes ctype.h
internally.

f66fedcb72 perf probe: Fix regression of variable finder
Fix to call convert_variable() if previous call does not fail.

To call convert_variable, it ensures "ret" is 0. However, since
"ret" has the return value of synthesize_perf_probe_arg() which
always returns positive value if it succeeded, perf probe doesn't
call convert_variable(). This will cause a SEGV when we add an
event with arguments.

This has to be fixed as it ensures "ret" is greater than 0
(or not negative).

This regression has been introduced by my previous patch, f182e3e1.

db0d2c6420 perf probe: Search concrete out-of-line instances
gcc 4.6 generates a concrete out-of-line instance when there is a
function which is implicitly inlined somewhere but also has its own
instance. The concrete out-of-line instance means that it has an
abstract origin of the function which is referred by not only
inlined-subroutines but also a concrete subprogram.

Since current dwarf_func_inline_instances() can find only instances of
inlined-subroutines, this introduces new die_walk_instances() to find
both of subprogram and inlined-subroutines.

e.g. without this,
Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
        @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
                struct task_group*      tg

perf probe failed to find actual subprogram instance of
sched_group_rt_period().

With this,

Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
        @<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
                struct task_group*      tg
        @<sched_group_rt_period+0>
                struct task_group*      tg

Now it found the sched_group_rt_period() itself.

f182e3e13c perf probe: Avoid searching variables in intermediate scopes
Fix variable searching logic to search one in inner than local scope or
global(CU) scope. In the other words, skip searching in intermediate
scopes.

e.g., in the following code,

int var1;

void inline infunc(int i)
{
    i++;   <--- [A]
}

void func(void)
{
   int var1, var2;
   infunc(var2);
}

At [A], "var1" should point the global variable "var1", however, if user
mis-typed as "var2", variable search should be failed. However, current
logic searches variable infunc() scope, global scope, and then func()
scope. Thus, it can find "var2" variable in func() scope. This may not
be what user expects.

So, it would better not search outer scopes except outermost (compile
unit) scope which contains only global variables, when it failed to find
given variable in local scope.

E.g.

Without this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > without.vars

With this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > with.vars

Check the diff:
$ diff without.vars with.vars
88d87
<               int     cpu
133d131
<               long unsigned int*      switch_count

These vars are actually in the scope of schedule(), the caller of
pre_schedule().

221d061182 perf probe: Fix to search local variables in appropriate scope
Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined
function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables,
as below;

$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
      0  static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev)
         {
      2         if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule)
      3                 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
         }

However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(),
because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope.

$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
        @<schedule+445>
                int     cpu
                long unsigned int*      switch_count
                struct rq*      rq
                struct task_struct*     prev

This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of
the instance of inlined function. Here is the result.

$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
        @<schedule+445>
                struct rq*      rq
                struct task_struct*     prev

36c0c588b9 perf probe: Fix to walk all inline instances
Fix line-range collector to walk all instances of inlined function,
because some execution paths can be optimized out depending on the
function argument of instances.

E.g.)
inline_func (arg) {
	if (arg)
		do_something;
	else
		do_another;
}

func_A() {
	inline_func(1)
}

func_B() {
	inline_func(0)
}

In this case, func_A may have only do_something code and func_B may have
only do_another.

1d46ea2a6a perf probe: Fix listing incorrect line number with inline function
Fix a bug showing incorrect line number when a probe is put on the head of an
inline function. This patch updates find_perf_probe_point() and introduces new
rules to get correct line number.

 - If debuginfo doesn't have a correct file name, we shouldn't return line
   number too, because, without file name, line number is meaningless.

 - If the address is in a function, it stores the function name and the offset
   from the function entry.

   - If the address is on a line, it tries to get the relative line number from
     the function entry line, except for the address is same as the entry
     address of the function (in this case, the relative line number should
     be 0).

     - If the address is in an inline function entry (call-site), it uses the
       inline function call line number as the line on which the address is.

   - If the address is in an inline function body, it stores the inline
     function name and offset from the inline function call site instead of the
     (non-inlined) function.

And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses
GCC as well.

8635bf6ea3 perf probe: Remove redundant checks
While fixing an error propagating problem in f809b25 I added two
redundant checks.

I did that because I didn't expect the checks to be on the while and for
loop condition expression, where they are tested before we run the loop,
where the 'ret' variable is set.

So remove it from there and leave it just after it is actually set,
eliminating unneded tests.

fbee632d0c perf probe: Fix error propagation leading to segfault
There are two hunks in this patch that stops probe processing as soon as one
error is found, breaking out of loops, the other fix an error propagation that
should return a negative error number but instead was returning the result of
"ret < 0", which is 1 and thus made several error checks fail because they test
agains < 0.

The problem could be triggered by asking for a variable that was optimized out,
fact that should stop the whole probe processing but instead was segfaulting
while installing broken probes:

[root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
 Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.
Add new events:
  probe:perf_mmap      (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
  probe:perf_mmap_1    (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@emilia ~]# perf probe -l
  probe:perf_mmap      (on perf_mmap:55@git/linux/kernel/perf_event.c with user_lock_limit)
  probe:perf_mmap_1    (on perf_mmap:55@git/linux/kernel/perf_event.c with user_lock_limit)
[root@emilia ~]#

After the fix:

[root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
 Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.

3b4694de35 perf probe: Fix to support libdwfl older than 0.148
Since the libdwfl library before 0.148 fails to analyze live kernel debuginfo,
'perf probe --list' compiled with those old libdwfl sometimes crashes.

To avoid that bug, perf probe does not use libdwfl's live kernel analysis
routine when it is compiled with older libdwfl.

Side effect: perf with older libdwfl doesn't support listing probe in modules
with source code line. Those could be shown by symbol+offset.

469b9b8848 perf probe: Add basic module support
Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module

variables in the given module.

Currently, this supports only probing on running modules.  Supporting off-line
module probing is the next step.

e.g.)
[show lines]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info
<drm_vblank_info:0>
      0  int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data)
      1  {
                struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private
      3         struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;
 ...
[show vars]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3
        @<drm_vblank_info+20>
                (unknown_type)  data
                struct drm_info_node*   node
                struct seq_file*        m
[put a probe]
 # ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m
Add new event:
  probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m)

You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:

        perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1
[list probes]
 # ./perf probe -l

7cf0b79e6f perf probe: Fix error message if get_real_path() failed
Perf probe -L shows incorrect error message (Dwarf error) if it fails to find
source file. This can confuse users.

# ./perf probe -s /nowhere -L vfs_read
Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
  Error: Failed to show lines. (-2)

With this patch, it shows correct message.

73317b9540 perf probe: Support "string" type
Support string type casting to event argument. If perf-probe finds an argument
casted as string, it ensures the target variable is "(unsigned/signed) char
*(or []). perf-probe also adds dereference if the target is a pointer.

So, both of 'char buf[10];' and 'char *buf;' can be accessed by 'buf:string'
