Naveen N. Rao d4c537e6bf perf probe: Ignore tail calls to probed functions
perf probe currently errors out if there are any tail calls to probed
functions:

[root@rhel71be]# perf probe do_fork
Failed to find probe point in any functions.
  Error: Failed to add events.

Fix this by teaching perf to ignore tail calls.

Without patch:

  [root@rhel71be perf]# ./perf probe -v do_fork

  Ignoring tail call from SyS_clone
  Found 4 probe_trace_events.
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1
  No kprobe blacklist support, ignored
  Added new events:
  Writing event: p:probe/do_fork _text+768432
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)

[Ignore the error about failure to write event - this kernel is missing
a patch to resolve _text properly]

The reason to ignore tail calls is that the address does not belong to
any function frame. In the example above, the address in SyS_clone is
0xc0000000000bc27c, but looking at the debug-info:

 <1><830081>: Abbrev Number: 133 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
    <830083>   DW_AT_external    : 1
    <830083>   DW_AT_name        : (indirect string, offset: 0x3cea3): SyS_clone
    <830087>   DW_AT_decl_file   : 7
    <830088>   DW_AT_decl_line   : 1689
    <83008a>   DW_AT_prototyped  : 1
    <83008a>   DW_AT_type        : <0x8110eb>
    <83008e>   DW_AT_low_pc      : 0xc0000000000bc270
    <830096>   DW_AT_high_pc     : 0xc
    <83009e>   DW_AT_frame_base  : 1 byte block: 9c 	(DW_OP_call_frame_cfa)
    <8300a0>   DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1
    <8300a0>   DW_AT_sibling     : <0x830178>
<snip>
 <3><830147>: Abbrev Number: 125 (DW_TAG_GNU_call_site)
    <830148>   DW_AT_low_pc      : 0xc0000000000bc27c
    <830150>   DW_AT_GNU_tail_call: 1
    <830150>   DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x82e7e1>

The frame ends at 0xc0000000000bc27c. I suppose this is why this
particular call is a "tail" call. FWIW, systemtap seems to ignore these
as well and requires users to explicitly place probes at these call
sites if necessary. I print out the caller so that users know.
