[ Upstream commit 314909f13cc12d47c468602c37dace512d225eeb ]
An issue can be observed when probe C++ demangled symbol with steps:
# nm test_cpp_mangle | grep print_data 0000000000000c94 t _GLOBAL__sub_I__Z10print_datai 0000000000000afc T _Z10print_datai 0000000000000b38 T _Z10print_dataR5Point
# perf probe -x /home/niayan01/test_cpp_mangle -F --demangle ... print_data(Point&) print_data(int) ...
# perf --debug verbose=3 probe -x test_cpp_mangle --add "test=print_data(int)" probe-definition(0): test=print_data(int) symbol:print_data(int) file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Open Debuginfo file: /home/niayan01/test_cpp_mangle Try to find probe point from debuginfo. Symbol print_data(int) address found : afc Matched function: print_data [2ccf] Probe point found: print_data+0 Found 1 probe_trace_events. Opening /sys/kernel/tracing//uprobe_events write=1 Opening /sys/kernel/tracing//README write=0 Writing event: p:probe_test_cpp_mangle/test /home/niayan01/test_cpp_mangle:0xb38 ...
When tried to probe symbol "print_data(int)", the log shows:
Symbol print_data(int) address found : afc
The found address is 0xafc - which is right with verifying the output result from nm. Afterwards when write event, the command uses offset 0xb38 in the last log, which is a wrong address.
The dwarf_diename() gets a common function name, in above case, it returns string "print_data". As a result, the tool parses the offset based on the common name. This leads to probe at the wrong symbol "print_data(Point&)".
To fix the issue, use the die_get_linkage_name() function to retrieve the distinct linkage name - this is the mangled name for the C++ case. Based on this unique name, the tool can get a correct offset for probing. Based on DWARF doc, it is possible the linkage name is missed in the DIE, it rolls back to use dwarf_diename().
After:
# perf --debug verbose=3 probe -x test_cpp_mangle --add "test=print_data(int)" probe-definition(0): test=print_data(int) symbol:print_data(int) file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Open Debuginfo file: /home/niayan01/test_cpp_mangle Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

Opening /sys/kernel/tracing//uprobe_events write=1 Opening /sys/kernel/tracing//README write=0 Writing event: p:probe_test_cpp_mangle/test /home/niayan01/test_cpp_mangle:0xafc Added new event: probe_test_cpp_mangle:test (on print_data(int) in /home/niayan01/test_cpp_mangle)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_test_cpp_mangle:test -aR sleep 1
# perf --debug verbose=3 probe -x test_cpp_mangle --add "test2=print_data(Point&)" probe-definition(0): test2=print_data(Point&) symbol:print_data(Point&) file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Open Debuginfo file: /home/niayan01/test_cpp_mangle Try to find probe point from debuginfo.

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_test_cpp_mangle:test2 -aR sleep 1
