3.16.82-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 07d369857808b7e8e471bbbbb0074a6718f89b31 upstream. Since there are some DIE which has only ranges instead of the combination of entrypc/highpc, address verification must use dwarf_haspc() instead of dwarf_entrypc/dwarf_highpc. Also, the ranges only DIE will have a partial code in different section (e.g. unlikely code will be in text.unlikely as "FUNC.cold" symbol). In that case, we can not use dwarf_entrypc() or die_entrypc(), because the offset from original DIE can be a minus value. Instead, this simply gets the symbol and offset from symtab. Without this patch; # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1 Failed to get entry address of clear_tasks_mm_cpumask Error: Failed to add events. And with this patch: # perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1 p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0 p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+5 p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+8 p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_3 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+16 p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+82 Committer testing: I managed to reproduce the above: [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1 p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask _text+919968 p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 _text+919973 p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 _text+919976 [root@quaco ~]# But then when trying to actually put the probe in place, it fails if I use :0 as the offset: [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -L clear_tasks_mm_cpumask | head -5 <clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@/usr/src/debug/kernel-5.2.fc30/linux-5.2.18-200.fc30.x86_64/kernel/cpu.c:0> 0 void clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(int cpu) 1 { 2 struct task_struct *p; [root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0 Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
