From 35a23ff928b066b00a826d0a9ed9411b8ab479ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2015 14:08:20 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: Cut off the gcc optimization postfixes from function name Cut off the postfixes which gcc added for optimized routines from the event name automatically generated from symbol name, since *probe-events doesn't accept it. Those symbols will be used if we don't use debuginfo to find target functions. E.g. without this fix; ----- # perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23 probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23 symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) [...] Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1 Added new event: Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf.isra.23 _text+4869328 Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22) ----- With this fix; ----- perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23 probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23 symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) [...] Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1 Added new event: Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf _text+4869328 probe:alloc_buf (on alloc_buf.isra.23) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:alloc_buf -aR sleep 1 ----- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: David Ahern Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Naohiro Aota Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150612050820.20548.41625.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/probe-event.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c b/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c index d4cf50b91839..daa24a249e05 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c @@ -2316,6 +2316,7 @@ static int get_new_event_name(char *buf, size_t len, const char *base, struct strlist *namelist, bool allow_suffix) { int i, ret; + char *p; if (*base == '.') base++; @@ -2326,6 +2327,10 @@ static int get_new_event_name(char *buf, size_t len, const char *base, pr_debug("snprintf() failed: %d\n", ret); return ret; } + /* Cut off the postfixes (e.g. .const, .isra)*/ + p = strchr(buf, '.'); + if (p && p != buf) + *p = '\0'; if (!strlist__has_entry(namelist, buf)) return 0; -- GitLab
