perf probe: Fix offline module name missmatch issue
Perf can add a probe on kernel module which has not been loaded yet.
The current implementation finds the module name from path. But if the
filename is different from the actual module name then perf fails to
register a probe while loading module because of mismatch in the names.
For example, samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko is loaded as
kobject_example.
Before applying patch:
$ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko foo_show
Added new event:
probe:foo_show (on foo_show in kobject-example)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:foo_show -aR sleep 1
$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/foo_show kobject-example:foo_show
$ insmod kobject-example.ko
$ lsmod
Module Size Used by
kobject_example 16384 0
Generate read to /sys/kernel/kobject_example/foo while recording data
with below command
$ sudo ./perf record -e probe:foo_show -a
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.093 MB perf.data ]
$./perf report --stdio -F overhead,comm,dso,sym
Error:
The perf.data.old file has no samples!
