Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] perf probe: Fix list result when address is zero
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2015 07:40:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1440574825-221187-3-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1440574825-221187-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com>

When manually added uprobe point with zero address, 'perf probe -l'
reports error. For example:

 # echo p:probe_libc/abs_0 /path/to/lib.bin:0x0 arg1=%ax > \
           /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events

 # perf probe -l
 Error: Failed to show event list.

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 /tmp/oxygen_root/lib64/libc-2.18.so:0x          (null) arg1=%ax

This patch supports the above kernel output.

In addition, this patch also fixes convert_to_perf_probe_point() that,
if failed to find probe point from both of dwarf and map, in all cases
pp->function should be filled with a strdup() result, or the following
ENOMEM error code is incorrect. Remove !tp->module && !is_kprobe
condition so always use address to build function name if symbol is not
found.
