perf probe: Filter out instances except for inlined subroutine and subprogram
Filter out instances except for inlined_subroutine and subprogram DIE in die_walk_instances() and die_is_func_instance(). This fixes an issue that perf probe sets some probes on calling address instead of a target function itself. When perf probe walks on instances of an abstruct origin (a kind of function prototype of inlined function), die_walk_instances() can also pass a GNU_call_site (a GNU extension for call site) to callback. Since it is not an inlined instance of target function, we have to filter out when searching a probe point. Without this patch, perf probe sets probes on call site address too.This can happen on some function which is marked "inlined", but has actual symbol. (I'm not sure why GCC mark it "inlined"): # perf probe -D vfs_read p:probe/vfs_read _text+2500017 p:probe/vfs_read_1 _text+2499468 p:probe/vfs_read_2 _text+2499563 p:probe/vfs_read_3 _text+2498876 p:probe/vfs_read_4 _text+2498512 p:probe/vfs_read_5 _text+2498627 With this patch: Slightly different results, similar tho: # perf probe -D vfs_read p:probe/vfs_read _text+2498512 Committer testing: # uname -a Linux quaco 5.3.8-200.fc30.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 29 14:46:22 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Before: # perf probe -D vfs_read p:probe/vfs_read _text+3131557 p:probe/vfs_read_1 _text+3130975 p:probe/vfs_read_2 _text+3131047 p:probe/vfs_read_3 _text+3130380 p:probe/vfs_read_4 _text+3130000 # uname -a Linux quaco 5.3.8-200.fc30.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Oct 29 14:46:22 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # After: # perf probe -D vfs_read p:probe/vfs_read _text+3130000 # Fixes: db0d2c64 ("perf probe: Search concrete out-of-line instances") Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/157241937063.32002.11024544873990816590.stgit@devnote2Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
