perf probe: Show correct source lines of probes on kmodules
Perf probe always failed to find appropriate line numbers because of failing to find .text start address offset from debuginfo. e.g. ---- # ./perf probe -m pcspkr pcspkr_event:5 Added new events: probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr) probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event:5 in pcspkr) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:pcspkr_event_1 -aR sleep 1 # ./perf probe -l Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f006 Failed to find debug information for address ffffffffa031f016 probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event+6 in pcspkr) probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event+22 in pcspkr) ---- This fixes the above issue as below. 1. Get the relative address of the symbol in .text by using map->start. 2. Adjust the address by adding the offset of .text section in the kernel module binary. With this fix, perf probe -l shows lines correctly. ---- # ./perf probe -l probe:pcspkr_event (on pcspkr_event:5@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c in pcspkr) probe:pcspkr_event_1 (on pcspkr_event:5@drivers/input/misc/pcspkr.c in pcspkr) ---- Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150930164132.3733.24643.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
