Since several local symbols can have same name (e.g. t_show), we need to use the relative address from the symbol referred by kmap->ref_reloc_sym instead of the target symbol name itself. Because the kernel address space layout randomize (kASLR) changes the absolute address of kernel symbols, we can't rely on the absolute address. Note that this works only with debuginfo. E.g. without this change; ---- # ./perf probe -a "t_show \$vars" Added new events: probe:t_show (on t_show with $vars) probe:t_show_1 (on t_show with $vars) probe:t_show_2 (on t_show with $vars) probe:t_show_3 (on t_show with $vars) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1 ---- OK, we have 4 different t_show()s. All functions have different arguments as below; ---- # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/t_show t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 p:probe/t_show_1 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 t=%si:u64 p:probe/t_show_2 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 fmt=%si:u64 p:probe/t_show_3 t_show m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 file=%si:u64 ---- However, all of them have been put on the *same* address. ---- # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list ffffffff810d9720 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED] ffffffff810d9720 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED] ffffffff810d9720 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED] ffffffff810d9720 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED] ---- With this change; ---- # ./perf probe -a "t_show \$vars" Added new events: probe:t_show (on t_show with $vars) probe:t_show_1 (on t_show with $vars) probe:t_show_2 (on t_show with $vars) probe:t_show_3 (on t_show with $vars) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:t_show_3 -aR sleep 1 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/t_show _stext+889880 m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 p:probe/t_show_1 _stext+928568 m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 t=%si:u64 p:probe/t_show_2 _stext+969512 m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 fmt=%si:u64 p:probe/t_show_3 _stext+1001416 m=%di:u64 v=%si:u64 file=%si:u64 # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list ffffffffb50d95e0 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED] ffffffffb50e2d00 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED] ffffffffb50f4990 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED] ffffffffb50eccf0 k t_show+0x0 [DISABLED] ---- This time, each event is put in different address correctly. Note that currently this doesn't support address-based probe on modules (thus the probes on modules are symbol based), since it requires relative address probe syntax for kprobe-tracer, and it isn't implemented yet. One more note, this allows us to put events on correct address, but --list option should be updated to show correct corresponding source code. Changes from v2: - Refer kmap->ref_reloc_sym instead of "_stext". - Refer map->reloc to catch up the kASLR perf fix. Changes from v1: - Use _stext relative address instead of actual absolute address recorded in debuginfo.
