perf probe: Ensure offset provided is not greater than function length without DWARF info too

2012-02-29T21:29:46Z

The 'perf probe' command allows kprobe to be inserted at any offset from a function start, which results in adding kprobes to unintended location. (example: perf probe do_fork+10000 is allowed even though size of do_fork is ~904). My previous patch https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/2/24/42 addressed the case where DWARF info was available for the kernel. This patch fixes the case where perf probe is used on a kernel without debuginfo available.

perf tools: Fix broken build by defining _GNU_SOURCE in Makefile

2012-01-31T00:19:54Z

When building on my Debian/mips system, util/util.c fails to build because commit 1aed2671738785e8f5aea663a6fda91aa7ef59b5 (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).

perf probe: Fix to show correct error string

2011-10-10T19:13:23Z

Fix perf probe to show correct error string when it fails to delete an event. The write(2) returns -1 if failed, and errno stores real error number.

perf probe: Support adding probes on offline kernel modules

2011-07-15T20:25:12Z

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 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110627072751.6528.10230.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

perf probe: Add probed module in front of function

2011-07-15T20:19:08Z

Add probed module name and ":" in front of function name if -m module option is given. In the result, the symbol name passed to kprobe-tracer becomes MODULE:FUNCTION, so that kallsyms can solve it as a symbol in the module correctly.

perf probe: Remove redundant checks

2011-02-22T10:02:07Z

While fixing an error propagating problem in f809b25 I added two redundant checks. I did that because I didn't expect the checks to be on the while and for loop condition expression, where they are tested before we run the loop, where the 'ret' variable is set. So remove it from there and leave it just after it is actually set, eliminating unneded tests.
