Add __return suffix for function return events automatically. Without this, user have to give --force option and will see the number suffix for each event like "function_1", which is not easy to recognize. Instead, this adds __return suffix to it automatically. E.g. ===== # ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so 'malloc*%return' Added new events: probe_libc:malloc_printerr__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_consolidate__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_check__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_hook_ini__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_trim__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_usable_size__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_stats__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_info__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:mallochook__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_get_state__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) probe_libc:malloc_set_state__return (on malloc*%return in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_set_state__return -aR sleep 1 ===== Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/util/probe-event.c | 9 +++++---- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c b/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c index 74435fb7ab7f..959c4d2ef455 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c @@ -2573,7 +2573,8 @@ int show_perf_probe_events(struct strfilter *filter) } static int get_new_event_name(char *buf, size_t len, const char *base, - struct strlist *namelist, bool allow_suffix) + struct strlist *namelist, bool ret_event, + bool allow_suffix) { int i, ret; char *p, *nbase; @@ -2590,7 +2591,7 @@ static int get_new_event_name(char *buf, size_t len, const char *base, *p = '\0'; /* Try no suffix number */ - ret = e_snprintf(buf, len, "%s", nbase); + ret = e_snprintf(buf, len, "%s%s", nbase, ret_event ?
