Do not access kallsyms to show available variables and show source lines in user binaries. This behavior always requires the root privilege when sysctl sets kernel.kptr_restrict=1, but we don't need it just for analyzing user binaries. Without this patch (by normal user, kptr_restrict=1): ---- $ perf probe -x ./perf -V add_cmdname Failed to init vmlinux path. Error: Failed to show vars. $ perf probe -x ./perf -L add_cmdname Failed to init vmlinux path. Error: Failed to show lines. ---- With this patch: ---- $ perf probe -x ./perf -V add_cmdname Available variables at add_cmdname @<perf_unknown_cmd_config+144> (No matched variables) @<list_commands_in_dir+160> (No matched variables) @<add_cmdname+0> char* name size_t len struct cmdnames* cmds $ perf probe -x ./perf -L add_cmdname <add_cmdname@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/util/help.c:0> 0 void add_cmdname(struct cmdnames *cmds, const char *name, size_t len) 1 { 2 struct cmdname *ent = malloc(sizeof(*ent) + len + 1); 4 ent->len = len; 5 memcpy(ent->name, name, len); 6 ent->name[len] = 0; ... ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: david lerner <dlernerdroid@gmail.com> Cc: linux-perf-user@vger.kernel.org Cc: yrl.pp-manager.tt@hitachi.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140917084054.3722.73975.stgit@kbuild-f20.novalocal [ Added missing 'bool user' argument to the !DWARF show_line_range() stub ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
