    perf probe: Fix add event failure when running 32-bit perf in a 64-bit kernel · 22a66551
    Yang Jihong authored
    The "address" member of "struct probe_trace_point" uses long data type.
    If kernel is 64-bit and perf program is 32-bit, size of "address"
    variable is 32 bits.
    
    As a result, upper 32 bits of address read from kernel are truncated, an
    error occurs during address comparison in kprobe_warn_out_range().
    
    Before:
    
      # perf probe -a schedule
      schedule is out of .text, skip it.
        Error: Failed to add events.
    
    Solution:
      Change data type of "address" variable to u64 and change corresponding
    address printing and value assignment.
    
    After:
    
      # perf.new.new probe -a schedule
      Added new event:
        probe:schedule       (on schedule)
    
      You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
    
              perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1
    
      # perf probe -l
        probe:schedule       (on schedule@kernel/sched/core.c)
      # perf record -e probe:schedule -aR sleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.156 MB perf.data (1366 samples) ]
      # perf report --stdio
      # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.
      #
      #
      # Total Lost Samples: 0
      #
      # Samples: 1K of event 'probe:schedule'
      # Event count (approx.): 1366
