commit f41ebe9defacddeae96a872a33f0f22ced0bfcef upstream.
When a probe point is expanded to several places (like inlined) and if some of them are skipped because of blacklisted or __init function, those trace_events has no event name. It must be skipped while showing results.
Without this fix, you can see "(null):(null)" on the list,
# ./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
#
With this fix, it is ignored:
# ./perf probe request_resource reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it. Added new events: 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
