This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf probe: Fix --funcs to show correct symbols for offline module to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-probe-fix-funcs-to-show-correct-symbols-for-offline-module.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From eebc509b20881b92d62e317b2c073e57c5f200f0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 4 Jan 2017 12:29:05 +0900 Subject: perf probe: Fix --funcs to show correct symbols for offline module From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> commit eebc509b20881b92d62e317b2c073e57c5f200f0 upstream. Fix --funcs (-F) option to show correct symbols for offline module. Since previous perf-probe uses machine__findnew_module_map() for offline module, even if user passes a module file (with full path) which is for other architecture, perf-probe always tries to load symbol map for current kernel module. This fix uses dso__new_map() to load the map from given binary as same as a map for user applications.
