From d4c537e6bf860c12262cb936eef663180d7a3d45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Naveen N. Rao" Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2015 17:12:31 +0530 Subject: perf probe: Ignore tail calls to probed functions perf probe currently errors out if there are any tail calls to probed functions: [root@rhel71be]# perf probe do_fork Failed to find probe point in any functions. Error: Failed to add events. Fix this by teaching perf to ignore tail calls. Without patch: [root@rhel71be perf]# ./perf probe -v do_fork probe-definition(0): do_fork symbol:do_fork file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Looking at the vmlinux_path (7 entries long) symsrc__init: build id mismatch for /boot/vmlinux.

Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1 No kprobe blacklist support, ignored Added new events: Writing event: p:probe/do_fork _text+768432 Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. 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. In the example above, the address in SyS_clone is 0xc0000000000bc27c, but looking at the debug-info: <1><830081>: Abbrev Number: 133 (DW_TAG_subprogram) <830083> DW_AT_external : 1 <830083> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x3cea3): SyS_clone <830087> DW_AT_decl_file : 7 <830088> DW_AT_decl_line : 1689 <83008a> DW_AT_prototyped : 1 <83008a> DW_AT_type : <0x8110eb> <83008e> DW_AT_low_pc : 0xc0000000000bc270 <830096> DW_AT_high_pc : 0xc <83009e> DW_AT_frame_base : 1 byte block: 9c (DW_OP_call_frame_cfa) <8300a0> DW_AT_GNU_all_call_sites: 1 <8300a0> DW_AT_sibling : <0x830178> <3><830147>: Abbrev Number: 125 (DW_TAG_GNU_call_site) <830148> DW_AT_low_pc : 0xc0000000000bc27c <830150> DW_AT_GNU_tail_call: 1 <830150> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0x82e7e1> The frame ends at 0xc0000000000bc27c. I suppose this is why this particular call is a "tail" call. FWIW, systemtap seems to ignore these as well and requires users to explicitly place probes at these call sites if necessary. I print out the caller so that users know. Signed-off-by: Naveen N.
