Fix perf-probe to show probe definition on gcc generated symbols for offline kernel (including cross-arch kernel image). gcc sometimes optimizes functions and generate new symbols with suffixes such as ".constprop.N" or ".isra.N" etc. Since those symbol names are not recorded in DWARF, we have to find correct generated symbols from offline ELF binary to probe on it (kallsyms doesn't correct it). For online kernel or uprobes we don't need it because those are rebased on _text, or a section relative address. E.g. Without this: $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -F __slab_alloc* __slab_alloc.constprop.9 $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc+0 If you put above definition on target machine, it should fail because there is no __slab_alloc in kallsyms. With this fix, perf probe shows correct probe definition on __slab_alloc.constprop.9: $ perf probe -k build-arm/vmlinux -D __slab_alloc p:probe/__slab_alloc __slab_alloc.constprop.9+0 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/148350060434.19001.11864836288580083501.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> |
