Fix to show correct error messages for $vars and $params because
those special variables requires debug information to find the
real variables or function parameters.
E.g. without this fix;
----
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.23.so getaddrinfo \$params
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Please upgrade your kernel to at least 3.14 to have access to feature $params
Error: Failed to add events.
----
Perf ends up with an error, but the message is not correct. With this
fix, perf shows correct error message as below.
----
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.23.so getaddrinfo \$params
The /usr/lib64/libc-2.23.so file has no debug information.
Rebuild with -g, or install an appropriate debuginfo package.

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

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.

Perf is not able to register probe in kernel module when dwarf supprt

module where only module name is required which is causing the problem.
This patch fixes this issue.

Perf can add a probe on kernel module which has not been loaded yet.
The current implementation finds the module name from path. But if the
filename is different from the actual module name then perf fails to
register a probe while loading module because of mismatch in the names.
For example, samples/kobject/kobject-example.ko is loaded as
kobject_example.

perf probe --list will get a segfault if the first kprobe event is on a
module and the second or latter one is on the kernel.
e.g.
----
# ./perf probe -q -m pcspkr pcspkr_event
# ./perf probe -q vfs_read
# ./perf probe -l
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
----
This is because the debuginfo_cache fails to handle NULL module name,
which causes segfault on strcmp. (Note that strcmp("something", NULL)
always causes segfault)
To fix this debuginfo_cache__open always translates the NULL module name
to "kernel" (this is correct, because NULL module name means opening the
debuginfo for the kernel)

'perf probe' stopped being able to add probes to modules using its short

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.

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.

Probing at 0x0 is possible and useful when lib.bin is not a normal
shared object but is manually mapped. However, in this case kernel
report:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x (null) arg1=%ax
This patch supports the above kernel output.

'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)

'perf probe -l' panic if there is a manually inserted probing point with
absolute address. For example:
# echo 'p:probe/abs_ffffffff811e6615 0xffffffff811e6615' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
# perf probe -l
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This patch fix this problem by considering the situation that
"tp->symbol == NULL" in find_perf_probe_point_from_dwarf() and
find_perf_probe_point_from_map().
After this patch:
# perf probe -l
probe:abs_ffffffff811e6615 (on SyS_write+5@fs/read_write.c)
And when debug info is missing:
# rm -rf ~/.debug
# mv /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux.bak
# perf probe -l
probe:abs_ffffffff811e6615 (on sys_write+5)

A problem can occur in a statically linked perf when vmlinux can be found:
# perf probe --add sys_epoll_pwait
probe-definition(0): sys_epoll_pwait

Failed to get call frame on 0xffffffff8122bd40
An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2).
Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)
The reason is caused by libdw that, if libdw is statically linked, it
can't load libebl_{arch}.so reliable.
In this case it is still possible to get the address from
/proc/kalksyms. However, perf tries that only when libdw returns
-EBADF.
This patch gives it another chance to utilize symbol table, even if
libdw returns an error code other than -EBADF.
After applying this patch:
# perf probe -nv --add sys_epoll_pwait

Added new event:

probe:sys_epoll_pwait (on sys_epoll_pwait)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:sys_epoll_pwait -aR sleep 1
Although libdw returns an error (Failed to get call frame), perf tries
symbol table and finally gets correct address.

Fix failure to probe events on arm, the problem was introduced by commit
5a51fcd1f3 ("perf probe: Skip kernel symbols which is out of .text").
For some architectures, the '_etext' label is not in the .text section
(in the .notes section for arm/arm64). Labels out of the .text section
are not loaded as symbols and we get a zero value when looking up its
addresses, which causes all events to be wrongly skipped.
This patch skips checking the text address range when failing to get the
address of '_etext' and thus fixes the problem.
The problem can be reproduced on arm as follows:
# perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
generic_perform_write+0 is out of .text, skip it.
Probe point 'generic_perform_write' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
After this patch:
# perf probe --add='generic_perform_write'
Added new event:
probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:generic_perform_write -aR sleep 1

Speed up the "perf probe --list" by caching the last used debuginfo.
perf probe --list always open and load debuginfo for each entry of probe
list. This takes very a long time.
E.g. with vfs_* events (total 96 probes)
[root@localhost perf]# time ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null
real 0m25.376s
user 0m24.381s
sys 0m1.012s
To solve this issue, this adds debuginfo_cache to cache the
last used debuginfo on memory.
With this fix, the perf-probe --list significantly improves
its speed.
[root@localhost perf]# time ./perf probe -l &> /dev/null
real 0m0.161s
user 0m0.136s
sys 0m0.025s

When the last part of converted events are blacklisted or out-of-text,
those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples. This
fixes it to show the example even if the last part of event list is
skipped.
E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end:
# perf probe vfs_*
vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*)
probe:vfs_open (on vfs_*)
...
probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*)
probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
#
With this fix:
# perf probe vfs_*
vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
probe:vfs_fallocate (on vfs_*)
...
probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1
Note that this can be reproduced ONLY IF the vfs_caches_init* is the
last part of matched symbol list. I've checked this happens on
"3.19.0-generic #18-Ubuntu" kernel binary.
