gcc 4.6 generates a concrete out-of-line instance when there is a
function which is implicitly inlined somewhere but also has its own
instance. The concrete out-of-line instance means that it has an
abstract origin of the function which is referred by not only
inlined-subroutines but also a concrete subprogram.
Since current dwarf_func_inline_instances() can find only instances of
inlined-subroutines, this introduces new die_walk_instances() to find
both of subprogram and inlined-subroutines.
e.g. without this,
Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
@<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
struct task_group* tg
perf probe failed to find actual subprogram instance of
sched_group_rt_period().
With this,
Available variables at sched_group_rt_period
@<cpu_rt_period_read_uint+9>
struct task_group* tg
@<sched_group_rt_period+0>
struct task_group* tg
Now it found the sched_group_rt_period() itself.

Fix variable searching logic to search one in inner than local scope or
global(CU) scope. In the other words, skip searching in intermediate
scopes.
e.g., in the following code,
int var1;
void inline infunc(int i)
{
i++; <--- [A]
}
void func(void)
{
int var1, var2;
infunc(var2);
}
At [A], "var1" should point the global variable "var1", however, if user
mis-typed as "var2", variable search should be failed. However, current
logic searches variable infunc() scope, global scope, and then func()
scope. Thus, it can find "var2" variable in func() scope. This may not
be what user expects.
So, it would better not search outer scopes except outermost (compile
unit) scope which contains only global variables, when it failed to find
given variable in local scope.
E.g.
Without this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > without.vars
With this:
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > with.vars
Check the diff:
$ diff without.vars with.vars
88d87
< int cpu
133d131
< long unsigned int* switch_count
These vars are actually in the scope of schedule(), the caller of
pre_schedule().

Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined
function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables,
as below;
$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
0 static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev)
{
2 if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule)
3 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
}
However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(),
because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope.
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
@<schedule+445>
int cpu
long unsigned int* switch_count
struct rq* rq
struct task_struct* prev
This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of
the instance of inlined function. Here is the result.
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
@<schedule+445>
struct rq* rq
struct task_struct* prev

Fix a bug showing incorrect line number when a probe is put on the head of an
inline function. This patch updates find_perf_probe_point() and introduces new
rules to get correct line number.
- If debuginfo doesn't have a correct file name, we shouldn't return line
number too, because, without file name, line number is meaningless.
- If the address is in a function, it stores the function name and the offset
from the function entry.
- If the address is on a line, it tries to get the relative line number from
the function entry line, except for the address is same as the entry
address of the function (in this case, the relative line number should
be 0).
- If the address is in an inline function entry (call-site), it uses the
inline function call line number as the line on which the address is.
- If the address is in an inline function body, it stores the inline
function name and offset from the inline function call site instead of the
(non-inlined) function.

- Make pubname_search_cb more generic
- Add fastpath to find_probes also
v2 -> v1:
- Don't compare file names with cu_find_realpath(...), instead, compare
them with the name returned by dwarf_decl_file(sp_die)
The vmlinux file may have thousands of CUs.
We can lookup function name from .debug_pubnames section
to avoid the slow loop on CUs.

Newer compilers (gcc 4.6) complains about:
return ret < 0 ?: 0;
For the following reason:
util/probe-finder.c: In function ‘probe_point_lazy_walker’:
util/probe-finder.c:1331:18: error: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ‘true’, suggest explicit middle operand [-Werror=parentheses]
And indeed the return value is a somewhat obscure (but correct) value
of 'true', so return 'ret' instead - this is cleaner and unconfuses
GCC as well.

While fixing an error propagating problem in f809b25 I added two
redundant checks.
I did that because I didn't expect the checks to be on the while and for
loop condition expression, where they are tested before we run the loop,
where the 'ret' variable is set.
So remove it from there and leave it just after it is actually set,
eliminating unneded tests.

There are two hunks in this patch that stops probe processing as soon as one
error is found, breaking out of loops, the other fix an error propagation that
should return a negative error number but instead was returning the result of
"ret < 0", which is 1 and thus made several error checks fail because they test
agains < 0.
The problem could be triggered by asking for a variable that was optimized out,
fact that should stop the whole probe processing but instead was segfaulting
while installing broken probes:
[root@emilia ~]# probe perf_mmap:55 user_lock_limit
Failed to find the location of user_lock_limit at this address.
Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
Failed to find 'user_lock_limit' in this function.
Add new events:
probe:perf_mmap (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
probe:perf_mmap_1 (on perf_mmap:55 with user_lock_limit)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

After the fix:

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

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.

Support string type casting to event argument. If perf-probe finds an argument
casted as string, it ensures the target variable is "(unsigned/signed) char
*(or []). perf-probe also adds dereference if the target is a pointer.
So, both of 'char buf[10];' and 'char *buf;' can be accessed by 'buf:string'

The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations. The
source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags,
but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a
normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to
specify the root of the kernel source tree.
