[RFC PATCH v1 1/1] tracing/kprobes: Return ENAMESVRLSYMS when func matches several symbols

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Previously to this commit, if func matches several symbols, a PMU kprobe would
be installed for the first matching address.
This could lead to some misunderstanding when some BPF code was never called
because it was attached to a function which was indeed not call, because the
effectively called one has no kprobes.

So, this commit introduces ENAMESVRLSYMS which is returned when func matches
several symbols.
This way, user needs to use addr to remove the ambiguity.
