4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ [ Upstream commit 03fa483821c0b4db7c2b1453d3332f397d82313f ] Some kernels, like 4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64 in fedora 29, fail with the existing probe definition asking for the contents of result->name, working when we ask for the 'filename' variable instead, so add a fallback to that. Now those tests are back working on fedora 29 systems with that kernel: # perf test vfs_getname 65: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok 66: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok 67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-klt3n0i58dfqttveti09q3fi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh b/tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh index 30a950c9d407..068d463e5cbf 100644 --- a/tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh +++ b/tools/perf/tests/shell/lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh @@ -13,7 +13,8 @@ add_probe_vfs_getname() { local verbose=$1 if [ $had_vfs_getname -eq 1 ] ; then line=$(perf probe -L getname_flags 2>&1 | egrep 'result.*=.*filename;' | sed -r 's/[[:space:]]+([[:digit:]]+)[[:space:]]+result->uptr.*/\1/') - perf probe $verbose "vfs_getname=getname_flags:${line} pathname=result->name:string" + perf probe -q "vfs_getname=getname_flags:${line} pathname=result->name:string" || \ + perf probe $verbose "vfs_getname=getname_flags:${line} pathname=filename:string" fi } -- 2.19.1
