Introduce helper function instead of inline code and replace hardcoded
strings "$vars" and "$params" with their corresponding macros.
perf_probe_with_var() is not declared as static since it will be called
from different file in subsequent patch.

Powerpc has Global Entry Point and Local Entry Point for functions. LEP
catches call from both the GEP and the LEP. Symbol table of ELF contains
GEP and Offset from which we can calculate LEP, but debuginfo does not
have LEP info.
Currently, perf prioritize symbol table over dwarf to probe on LEP for
ppc64le. But when user tries to probe with function parameter, we fall
back to using dwarf(i.e. GEP) and when function called via LEP, probe
will never hit.
For example:
$ objdump -d vmlinux
...
do_sys_open():
c0000000002eb4a0: e8 00 4c 3c addis r2,r12,232
c0000000002eb4a4: 60 00 42 38 addi r2,r2,96
c0000000002eb4a8: a6 02 08 7c mflr r0
c0000000002eb4ac: d0 ff 41 fb std r26,-48(r1)
$ sudo ./perf probe do_sys_open
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904
$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060896 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string
For second case, perf probed on GEP. So when function will be called via
LEP, probe won't hit.
$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB perf.data ]
To resolve this issue, let's not prioritize symbol table, let perf
decide what it wants to use. Perf is already converting GEP to LEP when
it uses symbol table. When perf uses debuginfo, let it find LEP offset
form symbol table. This way we fall back to probe on LEP for all cases.
After patch:
$ sudo ./perf probe 'do_sys_open filename:string'
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
p:probe/do_sys_open _text+3060904 filename_string=+0(%gpr4):string
$ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:do_sys_open ls
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.197 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]

Note that this is not only for SDT events, but also normal

# perf probe -x ./perf --cache -n --add 'myevent=dso__load $params'
----
Reuse the "myevent" from cache as below.

ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.
To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.

This patch drops struct __event_package structure. Instead, it adds a
'struct trace_probe_event' pointer to 'struct perf_probe_event'.
The trace_probe_event information gives further patches a chance to
access actual probe points and actual arguments.
Using them, 'perf probe' can get the whole list of added probes and
print them at once.
Other users like the upcoming bpf_loader will be able to attach one bpf
program to different probing points of an inline function (which has
multiple probing points) and glob functions.
Moreover, by reading the arguments information, bpf code for reading
those arguments can be generated.

It should be useful to allow 'perf probe' probe at absolute offset of a
target. For example, when (u)probing at a instruction of a shared object
in a embedded system where debuginfo is not avaliable but we know the
offset of that instruction by manually digging.
This patch enables following perf probe command syntax:
# perf probe 0xffffffff811e6615
And
# perf probe /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 0xeb860
In the above example, we don't need a anchor symbol, so it is possible
to compute absolute addresses using other methods and then use 'perf
probe' to create the probing points.
v1 -> v2:
Drop the leading '+' in cmdline;
Allow uprobing at offset 0x0;
Improve 'perf probe -l' result when uprobe at area without debuginfo.
v2 -> v3:
Split bugfix to a separated patch.

It is not easy for users to get the accurate byte offset or the line
number where a local variable can be probed.
With '--range' option, local variables in the scope of the probe point
are showed with a byte offset range, and can be added according to this
range information.
For example, there are some variables in the function
generic_perform_write():
<generic_perform_write@mm/filemap.c:0>
0 ssize_t generic_perform_write(struct file *file,
1 struct iov_iter *i, loff_t pos)
2 {
3 struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping;
4 const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops;
...
42 status = a_ops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, bytes, flags,
&page, &fsdata);
44 if (unlikely(status < 0))
But we fail when we try to probe the variable 'a_ops' at line 42 or 44.
$ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write:42 a_ops'
Failed to find the location of a_ops at this address.
Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
This is because the source code do not match the assembly, so a variable
may not be available in the source code line where it appears.
After this patch, we can lookup the accurate byte offset range of a
variable, 'INV' indicates that this variable is not valid at the given
point, but available in the scope:
$ perf probe --vars 'generic_perform_write:42' --range
Available variables at generic_perform_write:42
@<generic_perform_write+141>
[INV] ssize_t written @<generic_perform_write+[324-331]>
[INV] struct address_space_operations* a_ops @<generic_perform_write+[55-61,170-176,223-246]>
[VAL] (unknown_type) fsdata @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>
[VAL] loff_t pos @<generic_perform_write+[0-286,286-336,346-411]>
[VAL] long int status @<generic_perform_write+[83-342,346-411]>
[VAL] long unsigned int bytes @<generic_perform_write+[122-311,320-338,346-403,403-411]>
[VAL] struct address_space* mapping @<generic_perform_write+[35-344,346-411]>
[VAL] struct iov_iter* i @<generic_perform_write+[0-340,346-411]>
[VAL] struct page* page @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>
Then it is more clear for us to add a probe with this variable:
$ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+170 a_ops'
Added new event:
probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write+170 with a_ops)

not only simple glob pattern. This simplifies the code and
improve the flexibility.
E.g. if we remove 2 different pattern events, we need 2
-d options.
----
# ./perf probe -d vfs\* -d malloc
Removed event: probe_libc:malloc
Removed event: probe:vfs_read

This allows you to joint the 2 patterns with '|'.

Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since
powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the
function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as
described here:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638
"The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function,
both global and local entry points."
...
"If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up
the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other
bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point,
and what its offset from the global entry point is. Note that GDB does
the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry."

Support basic dwarf(debuginfo) based operations for uprobe events. With
this change, perf probe can analyze debuginfo of user application binary
to set up new uprobe event.
This allows perf-probe --add(with local variables, line numbers) and
--line works with -x option. (Actually, --vars has already accepted -x
option)
For example, the following command shows the probe-able lines of a given
user space function. Something that so far was only available in the
'perf probe' tool for kernel space functions:
# ./perf probe -x perf --line map__load
<map__load@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-2.6/tools/perf/util/map.c:0>
0 int map__load(struct map *map, symbol_filter_t filter)
1 {
2 const char *name = map->dso->long_name;
int nr;
5 if (dso__loaded(map->dso, map->type))
6 return 0;
8 nr = dso__load(map->dso, map, filter);
9 if (nr < 0) {
10 if (map->dso->has_build_id) {
And this shows the available variables at the given line of the
function.
# ./perf probe -x perf --vars map__load:8
Available variables at map__load:8
@<map__load+96>
char* name
struct map* map
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map__find_symbol+112>
char* name
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map__find_symbol_by_name+136>
char* name
symbol_filter_t filter
@<map_groups__find_symbol_by_name+176>
char* name
struct map* map
symbol_filter_t filter
And lastly, we can now define probe(s) with all available
variables on the given line:
# ./perf probe -x perf --add 'map__load:8 $vars'
Added new events:
probe_perf:map__load (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_1 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_2 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
probe_perf:map__load_3 (on map__load:8 with $vars)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_perf:map__load_3 -aR sleep 1
Changes from previous version:
- Add examples in the patch description.
- Use .text section start address and dwarf symbol address
for calculating the offset of given symbol, instead of
searching the symbol in symtab again.
With this change, we can safely handle multiple local
function instances (e.g. scnprintf in perf).

Set given names to event arguments. The syntax is same as kprobe-tracer,
you can add 'NAME=' right before each argument.
e.g.
./perf probe vfs_read foo=file
then, 'foo' is set to the argument name as below.
./perf probe -l
probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read@linux-2.6-tip/fs/read_write.c with foo)
