Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22) [Ignore the error about failure to write event - this kernel is missing a patch to resolve _text properly] The reason to ignore tail calls is that the address does not belong to any function frame.

* perf probe: Add --range option to show a variable's location rangeHe Kuang2015-05-121-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is not easy for users to get the accurate byte offset or the line number where a local variable can be probed. With '--range' option, local variables in the scope of the probe point are showed with a byte offset range, and can be added according to this range information. For example, there are some variables in the function generic_perform_write(): <generic_perform_write@mm/filemap.c:0> 0 ssize_t generic_perform_write(struct file *file, 1 struct iov_iter *i, loff_t pos) 2 { 3 struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping; 4 const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops; ... 42 status = a_ops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, bytes, flags, &page, &fsdata); 44 if (unlikely(status < 0)) But we fail when we try to probe the variable 'a_ops' at line 42 or 44. $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write:42 a_ops' Failed to find the location of a_ops at this address. Perhaps, it has been optimized out. This is because the source code do not match the assembly, so a variable may not be available in the source code line where it appears. After this patch, we can lookup the accurate byte offset range of a variable, 'INV' indicates that this variable is not valid at the given point, but available in the scope: $ perf probe --vars 'generic_perform_write:42' --range Available variables at generic_perform_write:42 @<generic_perform_write+141> [INV] ssize_t written @<generic_perform_write+[324-331]> [INV] struct address_space_operations* a_ops @<generic_perform_write+[55-61,170-176,223-246]> [VAL] (unknown_type) fsdata @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]> [VAL] loff_t pos @<generic_perform_write+[0-286,286-336,346-411]> [VAL] long int status @<generic_perform_write+[83-342,346-411]> [VAL] long unsigned int bytes @<generic_perform_write+[122-311,320-338,346-403,403-411]> [VAL] struct address_space* mapping @<generic_perform_write+[35-344,346-411]> [VAL] struct iov_iter* i @<generic_perform_write+[0-340,346-411]> [VAL] struct page* page @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]> Then it is more clear for us to add a probe with this variable: $ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+170 a_ops' Added new event: probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write+170 with a_ops) Signed-off-by: He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1431336304-16863-2-git-send-email-hekuang@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

* perf probe: Fix to find line information for probe listMasami Hiramatsu2013-10-041-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix to find the correct (as much as possible) line information for listing probes. Without this fix, perf probe --list action will show incorrect line information as below; probe:getname_flags (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c) probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:-89@x86/include/asm/current.h) probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:-2054@x86/include/asm/current.h) The minus line number is obviously wrong, and current.h is not related to the probe point. Deeper investigation discovered that there were 2 issues related to this bug, and minor typos too. The 1st issue is the rack of considering about nested inlined functions, which causes the wrong (relative) line number. The 2nd issue is that the dwarf line info is not correct at those points. It points 14th line of current.h. Since it seems that the line info includes somewhat unreliable information, this fixes perf to try to find correct line information from both of debuginfo and line info as below. 1) Probe address is the entry of a function instance In this case, the line is set as the function declared line. 2) Probe address is the entry of an expanded inline function block In this case, the line is set as the function call-site line. This means that the line number is relative from the entry line of caller function (which can be an inlined function if nested) 3) Probe address is inside a function instance or an expanded inline function block In this case, perf probe queries the line number from lineinfo and verify the function declared file is same as the file name queried from lineinfo. If the file name is different, it is a failure case. The probe address is shown as symbol+offset. 4) Probe address is not in the any function instance This is a failure case, the probe address is shown as symbol+offset. With this fix, perf probe -l shows correct probe lines as below; probe:getname_flags (on getname_flags@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c) probe:getname_flags_1 (on getname:2@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c) probe:getname_flags_2 (on user_path_at_empty:4@ksrc/linux-3/fs/namei.c) Changes at v2: - Fix typos in the function comments. (Thanks to Namhyung Kim) - Use die_find_top_inlinefunc instead of die_find_inlinefunc_next.

* perf probe: Search concrete out-of-line instancesMasami Hiramatsu2011-08-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf probe: Fix to search local variables in appropriate scopeMasami Hiramatsu2011-08-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf probe: Fix to search nested inlined functions in CUMasami Hiramatsu2011-08-121-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix perf probe to walk through the lines of all nested inlined function call sites and declared lines when a whole CU is passed to the line walker. The die_walk_lines() can have two different type of DIEs, subprogram (or inlined-subroutine) DIE and CU DIE. If a caller passes a subprogram DIE, this means that the walker walk on lines of given subprogram. In this case, it just needs to search on direct children of DIE tree for finding call-site information of inlined function which directly called from given subprogram. On the other hand, if a caller passes a CU DIE to the walker, this means that the walker have to walk on all lines in the source files included in given CU DIE. In this case, it has to search whole DIE trees of all subprograms to find the call-site information of all nested inlined functions. Without this patch: $ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157 </home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151> static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v) { 154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL); } With this: $ perf probe --line kernel/cpu.c:151-157 </home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/cpu.c:151> 152 static int cpu_notify(unsigned long val, void *v) { 154 return __cpu_notify(val, v, -1, NULL); } As you can see, --line option with source line range shows the declared lines as probe-able.
