From 614e2fdbd79b47ddf63a1ccd3f2343e98c3077fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2015 10:57:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: Fix list result when symbol can't be found 'perf probe -l' reports error if it is unable find symbol through address. Here is an example. # echo 'p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc.so.6:0x5' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc.so.6:0x0000000000000005 # perf probe -l Error: Failed to show event list Also, this situation triggers a logical inconsistency in convert_to_perf_probe_point() that, it returns ENOMEM but actually it never try strdup(). This patch removes !tp->module && !is_kprobe condition, so it always uses address to build function name if symbol not found. Test result: # perf probe -l probe_libc:abs_5 (on 0x5 in /lib64/libc.so.6) Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Steven Rostedt Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1440586666-235233-4-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/probe-event.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c b/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c index 6c7e538c9b8b..f7bacbb98865 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/probe-event.c @@ -1866,7 +1866,7 @@ static int convert_to_perf_probe_point(struct probe_trace_point *tp, if (tp->symbol) { pp->function = strdup(tp->symbol); pp->offset = tp->offset; - } else if (!tp->module && !is_kprobe) { + } else { ret = e_snprintf(buf, 128, "0x%" PRIx64, (u64)tp->address); if (ret < 0) return ret;
