perf probe: Support probing at absolute address
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. Test result: # perf probe 0xffffffff8119d175 %ax # perf probe sys_write %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0x0 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0x5 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0xd8e40 %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so __write %ax # perf probe /lib64/libc-2.18.so 0xd8e49 %ax # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events p:probe_libc/abs_0 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x (null) arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_5 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x0000000000000005 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_d8e40 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e40 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/__write /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e40 arg1=%ax p:probe_libc/abs_d8e49 /lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x00000000000d8e49 arg1=%ax # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/abs_ffffffff8119d175 0xffffffff8119d175 arg1=%ax p:probe/sys_write _text+1692016 arg1=%ax # perf probe -l Failed to find debug information for address 5 probe:abs_ffffffff8119d175 (on sys_write+5 with arg1) probe:sys_write (on sys_write with arg1) probe_libc:__write (on @unix/syscall-template.S:81 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_0 (on 0x0 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_5 (on 0x5 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_d8e40 (on @unix/syscall-template.S:81 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) probe_libc:abs_d8e49 (on __GI___libc_write+9 in /lib64/libc-2.18.so with arg1) Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1440586666-235233-7-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
