    perf probe: Find fentry mcount fuzzed parameter location · 3d918a12
    Masami Hiramatsu 提交于
    At this point, --fentry (mcount function entry) option for gcc fuzzes
    the debuginfo variable locations by skipping the mcount instruction
    offset (on x86, this is a 5 byte call instruction).
    
    This makes variable searching fail at the entry of functions which
    are mcount'ed.
    
    e.g.)
    Available variables at vfs_read
            @<vfs_read+0>
                    (No matched variables)
    
    This patch adds additional location search at the function entry point
    to solve this issue, which tries to find the earliest address for the
    variable location.
    
    Note that this only works with function parameters (formal parameters)
    because any local variables should not exist on the function entry
    address (those are not initialized yet).
    
    With this patch, perf probe shows correct parameters if possible;
     # perf probe --vars vfs_read
     Available variables at vfs_read
             @<vfs_read+0>
                     char*   buf
                     loff_t* pos
                     size_t  count
                     struct file*    file
