Since commit 03db8b583d1c ("perf tools: Fix maps__find_symbol_by_name()") introduced map address range check in maps__find_symbol_by_name(), we can not get "_etext" from kernel map because _etext is placed on the edge of the kernel .text section (= kernel map in perf.)
To fix this issue, this checks the address correctness by map address range information (map->start and map->end) instead of using _etext address.
This can cause an error if the target inlined function is embedded in both __init function and normal function.
For exaample, request_resource() is a normal function but also embedded in __init reserve_setup(). In this case, the probe point in reserve_setup() must be skipped. However, without this fix, it failes to setup all probe points. ================ # ./perf probe -v request_resource probe-definition(0): request_resource symbol:request_resource file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) Using /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.5.17-200.fc31.x86_64/vmlinux for symbols Open Debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.5.17-200.fc31.x86_64/vmlinux Try to find probe point from debuginfo. Matched function: request_resource [15e29ad] found inline addr: 0xffffffff82fbf892 Probe point found: reserve_setup+204 found inline addr: 0xffffffff810e9790 Probe point found: request_resource+0 Found 2 probe_trace_events. Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1 Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//README write=0 Writing event: p:probe/request_resource _text+33290386 Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22) ================
With this fix,
================ # ./perf probe request_resource reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it. Added new events: (null):(null) (on request_resource) probe:request_resource (on request_resource)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1
================
