Subject: perf probe: Fix to probe a function which has no entry pc
Git-commit: 5d16dbcc311d91267ddb45c6da4f187be320ecee
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc1
References: git-fixes

Fix 'perf probe' to probe a function which has no entry pc or low pc but
only has ranges attribute.

probe_point_search_cb() uses dwarf_entrypc() to get the probe address,
but that doesn't work for the function DIE which has only ranges
attribute. Use die_entrypc() instead.

Without this fix:

# perf probe -k ../build-x86_64/vmlinux -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.

With this:

# perf probe -k ../build-x86_64/vmlinux -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0

Committer testing:

Before:

[root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
    Error: Failed to add events.
  [root@quaco ~]#

After:

[root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
  Added new event:
    probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask -aR sleep 1

[root@quaco ~]#

Using it with 'perf trace':

[root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask

Doesn't seem to be used in x86_64:

$ find . -name "*.c" | xargs grep clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
  ./kernel/cpu.c: * clear_tasks_mm_cpumask - Safely clear tasks' mm_cpumask for a CPU
  ./kernel/cpu.c:void clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(int cpu)
  ./arch/xtensa/kernel/smp.c:	clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
  ./arch/csky/kernel/smp.c:	clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
  ./arch/sh/kernel/smp.c:	clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
  ./arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:	clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
  ./arch/powerpc/mm/nohash/mmu_context.c:	clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(cpu);
  $ find . -name "*.h" | xargs grep clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
  ./include/linux/cpu.h:void clear_tasks_mm_cpumask(int cpu);
  $ find . -name "*.S" | xargs grep clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
  $
