Subject: perf probe: Find versioned symbols from map
From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 4b3a2716dd785fabb9f6ac80c1d53cb29a88169d ]
Commit d80406453ad4 ("perf symbols: Allow user probes on versioned
symbols") allows user to find default versioned symbols (with "@@") in
map. However, it did not enable normal versioned symbol (with "@") for
perf-probe. E.g.
=====
# ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state
Failed to find symbol malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so
Error: Failed to add events.
=====
This solves above issue by improving perf-probe symbol search function,
as below.
=====
# ./perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.25.so malloc_get_state
Added new event:
probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc_get_state -aR sleep 1
# ./perf probe -l
probe_libc:malloc_get_state (on malloc_get_state@GLIBC_2.2.5 in /usr/lib64/libc-2.25.so)
=====
