2015-05-08perf probe: Support glob wildcards for function nameMasami Hiramatsu1-5/+14
Support glob wildcards for function name when adding new probes.

2015-03-21perf probe: Fix failure to add multiple probes without debuginfoHe Kuang1-3/+1
Perf tries to find probe function addresses from map when debuginfo could not be found. To the first added function, the value of ref_reloc_sym was set in maps__set_kallsyms_ref_reloc_sym() and can be obtained from host_machine->kmaps->maps. After that, new maps are added to host_machine->kmaps->maps in dso__load_kcore(), all these new added maps do not have a valid ref_reloc_sym. When adding a second function, get_target_map() may get a map without valid ref_reloc_sym, and raise the error "Relocated base symbol is not found". Fix this by using kernel_get_ref_reloc_sym() to get ref_reloc_sym. This problem can be reproduced as following: $ perf probe --add='sys_write' --add='sys_open' Relocated base symbol is not found!

2015-03-12perf probe: Fix to handle aliased symbols in glibcMasami Hiramatsu1-16/+124
Fix perf probe to handle aliased symbols correctly in glibc. In the glibc, several symbols are defined as an alias of __libc_XXX, e.g. malloc is an alias of __libc_malloc. In such cases, dwarf has no subroutine instances of the alias functions (e.g. no "malloc" instance), but the map has that symbol and its address. Thus, if we search the alieased symbol in debuginfo, we always fail to find it, but it is in the map. To solve this problem, this fails back to address-based alternative search, which searches the symbol in the map, translates its address to alternative (correct) function name by using debuginfo, and retry to find the alternative function point from debuginfo. This adds fail-back process to --vars, --lines and --add options. So, now you can use those on malloc@libc :) Without this patch; ----- # ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so -V malloc Failed to find the address of malloc Error: Failed to show vars. # ./perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so -a "malloc bytes" Probe point 'malloc' not found in debuginfo.

2015-01-21perf probe: Fix probing kretprobesNamhyung Kim1-2/+2
The commit dfef99cd0b2c ("perf probe: Use ref_reloc_sym based address instead of the symbol name") converts kprobes to use ref_reloc_sym (i.e. _stext) and offset instead of using symbol's name directly. So on my system, adding do_fork ends up with like below: $ sudo perf probe -v --add do_fork%return probe-definition(0): do_fork%return symbol:do_fork file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long) Using /lib/modules/3.17.6-1-ARCH/build/vmlinux for symbols Could not open debuginfo. Try to use symbols. Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1 Added new event: Writing event: r:probe/do_fork _stext+456136 Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Operation not permitted (Code: -1) As you can see, the do_fork was translated to _stext+456136. This was because to support (local) symbols that have same name. But the problem is that kretprobe requires to be inserted at function start point so it simply checks whether it's called with offset 0. And if not, it'll return with -EINVAL. You can see it with dmesg. $ dmesg | tail -1 [125621.764103] Return probe must be used without offset. So we need to use the symbol name instead of ref_reloc_sym in case of return probes.

2015-01-21perf probe: Do not rely on map__load() filter to find symbolsNamhyung Kim1-16/+22
The find_probe_trace_events_from_map() searches matching symbol from a map (so from a backing dso). For uprobes, it'll create a new map (and dso) and loads it using a filter. It's a little bit inefficient in that it'll read out the symbol table everytime but works well anyway. For kprobes however, it'll reuse existing kernel map which might be loaded before. In this case map__load() just returns with no result. It makes kprobes always failed to find symbol even if it exists in the map (dso). To fix it, use map__find_symbol_by_name() instead. It'll load a map with full symbols and sorts them by name. It needs to search sibing nodes since there can be multiple (local) symbols with same name.
