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)

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).

Expand given path to absolute path in the option parser, except for a

Since realpath at later stage in processing several probe point, can be

expands the feature), it is waste of the performance.
Processing it once at the early stage can avoid that.

Move debugfs.* to api/fs/. We have a common tools/lib/api/ place where
the Makefile lives and then we place the headers in subdirs.
For example, all the fs-related stuff goes to tools/lib/api/fs/ from
which we get libapikfs.a (acme got almost the naming he wanted :-)) and
we link it into the tools which need it - in this case perf and
tools/vm/page-types.
acme:
"Looking at the implementation, I think some tools can even link
directly to the .o files, avoiding the .a file altogether.
But that is just an optimization/finer granularity tools/lib/
cherrypicking that toolers can make use of."

You can't pass demangled name into "perf probe", because of special chars:
./perf probe -f -x /tmp/a.out 'foo(int)'
Semantic error :There is non-digit char in line number.
And you can't even pass without demangling (because it search symbol in
DSO with demangle=true):
./perf probe -f -x /tmp/a.out _Z3fooi
no symbols found in /tmp/a.out, maybe install a debug package?
However:
nm /tmp/a.out | grep foo
000000000040056d T _Z3fooi
After this patch, using the next command:
./perf probe -f --no-demangle -x /tmp/a.out _Z3fooi
probe will be successfully added.

perf defines both __used and __unused variables to use for marking
unused variables. The variable __used is defined to
__attribute__((__unused__)), which contradicts the kernel definition to
__attribute__((__used__)) for new gcc versions. On Android, __used is
also defined in system headers and this leads to warnings like: warning:
'__used__' attribute ignored
__unused is not defined in the kernel and is not a standard definition.
If __unused is included everywhere instead of __used, this leads to
conflicts with glibc headers, since glibc has a variables with this name
in its headers.
The best approach is to use __maybe_unused, the definition used in the
kernel for __attribute__((unused)). In this way there is only one
definition in perf sources (instead of 2 definitions that point to the
same thing: __used and __unused) and it works on both Linux and Android.
This patch simply replaces all instances of __used and __unused with
__maybe_unused.

When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build
because commit 1aed267173 (perf kvm: Do
guest-only counting by default) indirectly includes stdio.h before the
feature selection in util.h is done. This prevents _GNU_SOURCE in
util.h from enabling the declaration of getline(), from now second
inclusion of stdio.h, and the build is broken.
There is another breakage in util/evsel.c caused by include ordering,
but I didn't fully track down the commit that caused it.
The root cause of all this is an inconsistent definition of _GNU_SOURCE,
so I move the definition into the Makefile so that it is passed to all
invocations of the compiler and used uniformly for all system header
files. All other #define and #undef of _GNU_SOURCE are removed as they
cause conflicts with the definition passed to the compiler.
All the features.h definitions (_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
and _GNU_SOURCE) are needed by the python glue code too, so they are
moved to BASIC_CFLAGS, and the misleading comments about BASIC_CFLAGS
are removed.
This gives me a clean build on x86_64 (fc12) and mips (Debian).

Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.
E.g)
# perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
-a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
Add new events:
probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1

# ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
