36a009fe07 perf probe: Accept %sdt and %cached event name
To improve usability, support %[PROVIDER:]SDTEVENT format to add new
probes on SDT and cached events.

e.g.
  ----
  # perf probe -x /lib/libc-2.17.so  %lll_lock_wait_private
  Added new event:
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on %lll_lock_wait_private in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l | more
    sdt_libc:lll_lock_wait_private (on __lll_lock_wait_private+21 in /usr/lib/libc-2.17.so)
  ----

Note that this is not only for SDT events, but also normal
events with event-name.

e.g. define "myevent" on cache (-n doesn't add the real probe)
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf --cache -n --add 'myevent=dso__load $params'
  ----
  Reuse the "myevent" from cache as below.
  ----
  # perf probe -x ./perf %myevent
  ----

0b3c2264ae perf symbols: Fix kallsyms perf test on ppc64le
ppc64le functions have a Global Entry Point (GEP) and a Local Entry
Point (LEP). While placing a probe, we always prefer the LEP since it
catches function calls through both the GEP and the LEP. In order to do
this, we fixup the function entry points during elf symbol table lookup
to point to the LEPs. This works, but breaks 'perf test kallsyms' since
the symbols loaded from the symbol table (pointing to the LEP) do not
match the symbols in kallsyms.

To fix this, we do not adjust all the symbols during symbol table load.
Instead, we note down st_other in a newly introduced arch-specific
member of perf symbol structure, and later use this to adjust the probe
trace point.

The init/exit_symbols_maps() functions are to setup and cleanup
necessary info for probe events.  But they need to be called from out of
the probe code now, so this patch exports them.

However the names are too generic, so change them to have 'probe'. :)

12fae5ef6d perf probe: Link trace_probe_event into perf_probe_event
This patch drops struct __event_package structure.  Instead, it adds a
'struct trace_probe_event' pointer to 'struct perf_probe_event'.

The trace_probe_event information gives further patches a chance to
access actual probe points and actual arguments.

Using them, 'perf probe' can get the whole list of added probes and
print them at once.

Other users like the upcoming bpf_loader will be able to attach one bpf
program to different probing points of an inline function (which has
multiple probing points) and glob functions.

Moreover, by reading the arguments information, bpf code for reading
those arguments can be generated.

da15bd9df4 perf probe: Support probing at absolute address
It should be useful to allow 'perf probe' probe at absolute offset of a
target. For example, when (u)probing at a instruction of a shared object
in a embedded system where debuginfo is not avaliable but we know the
offset of that instruction by manually digging.

This patch enables following perf probe command syntax:

  # perf probe 0xffffffff811e6615

And

  # perf probe /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc-2.19.so 0xeb860

In the above example, we don't need a anchor symbol, so it is possible
to compute absolute addresses using other methods and then use 'perf
probe' to create the probing points.

v1 -> v2:
  Drop the leading '+' in cmdline;
  Allow uprobing at offset 0x0;
  Improve 'perf probe -l' result when uprobe at area without debuginfo.

v2 -> v3:
  Split bugfix to a separated patch.

Test result:

349e8d2611 perf probe: Add --range option to show a variable's location range
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)

Add --no-inlines(--inlines) option to avoid searching inline functions.

Searching all functions which matches glob pattern can take a long time
and find a lot of inline functions.

With this option perf-probe searches target on the non-inlined

  ----
  # ./perf probe -d vfs\* -d malloc
  Removed event: probe_libc:malloc
  Removed event: probe:vfs_read

d5c2e2c17a perf probe ppc64le: Prefer symbol table lookup over DWARF
Use symbol table lookups by default if DWARF is not necessary, since
powerpc ABIv2 encodes local entry points in the symbol table and the
function entry address in DWARF may not be appropriate for kprobes, as
described here:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17638

"The DWARF address ranges deliberately include the *whole* function,
both global and local entry points."
...
"If you want to set probes on a local entry point, you should look up
the symbol in the main symbol table (not DWARF), and check the st_other
bits; they will indicate whether the function has a local entry point,
and what its offset from the global entry point is.  Note that GDB does
the same when setting a breakpoint on a function entry."

fb7345bbf7 perf probe: Support basic dwarf-based operations on uprobe events
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).

e80711ca85 perf probe: Add --funcs to show available functions in symtab
Add --funcs to show available functions in symtab.

Originally this feature came from Srikar's uprobes patches
( http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/27/244 )

e.g.
...
__ablkcipher_walk_complete
__absent_pages_in_range
__account_scheduler_latency
__add_pages
__alloc_pages_nodemask
__alloc_percpu
__alloc_reserved_percpu
__alloc_skb
__alloc_workqueue_key
__any_online_cpu
__ata_ehi_push_desc
...

This also supports symbols in module, e.g.

...
cleanup_module
cpuid_maxphyaddr
emulate_clts
emulate_instruction
emulate_int_real
emulate_invlpg
emulator_get_dr
emulator_set_dr
emulator_task_switch
emulator_write_emulated
emulator_write_phys
fx_init
...

469b9b8848 perf probe: Add basic module support
Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module
<MODNAME>" option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and
variables in the given module.

Currently, this supports only probing on running modules.  Supporting off-line
module probing is the next step.

e.g.)
[show lines]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info
<drm_vblank_info:0>
      0  int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data)
      1  {
                struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private
      3         struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;
 ...
[show vars]
 # ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3
        @<drm_vblank_info+20>
                (unknown_type)  data
                struct drm_info_node*   node
                struct seq_file*        m
[put a probe]
 # ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m
Add new event:
  probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m)

You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:

        perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1
[list probes]
 # ./perf probe -l
probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3@drivers/gpu/drm/drm_info.c with ...

6a330a3c8a perf probe: Support comp_dir to find an absolute source path
Gcc generates DW_AT_comp_dir and stores relative source path if building kernel
without O= option. In that case, perf probe --line sometimes doesn't work
without --source option, because it tries to access relative source path.

This adds DW_AT_comp_dir support to perf probe for finding an absolute source
path when no --source option.

Since line_finder.lno_s/e are signed int but line_range.start/end
are unsigned int, it is possible to be overflow when converting
line_range->start/end to line_finder->lno_s/e.
This changes line_range.start/end and line_list.line to signed int
and adds overflow checks when setting line_finder.lno_s/e.
