Yang Jihong 22a665513b perf probe: Fix add event failure when running 32-bit perf in a 64-bit kernel
The "address" member of "struct probe_trace_point" uses long data type.
If kernel is 64-bit and perf program is 32-bit, size of "address"
variable is 32 bits.

As a result, upper 32 bits of address read from kernel are truncated, an
error occurs during address comparison in kprobe_warn_out_range().

Before:

  # perf probe -a schedule
  schedule is out of .text, skip it.
    Error: Failed to add events.

Solution:
  Change data type of "address" variable to u64 and change corresponding
address printing and value assignment.

After:

  # perf.new.new probe -a schedule
  Added new event:
    probe:schedule       (on schedule)

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

          perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1

  # perf probe -l
    probe:schedule       (on schedule@kernel/sched/core.c)
  # perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.156 MB perf.data (1366 samples) ]
  # perf report --stdio
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
  #
  #
  # Total Lost Samples: 0
  #
  # Samples: 1K of event 'probe:schedule'
  # Event count (approx.): 1366

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
