perf probe: Ignore the error of finding inline instance
Ignore the error when the perf probe failed to find inline function instances. This can happen when we search a method in C++ debuginfo. If there is completely no instance in target, perf probe can return an error. E.g. without this fix: ---- $ perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -vD showmanyc probe-definition(0): showmanyc symbol:showmanyc file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments symbol:catch file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) symbol:throw file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) symbol:rethrow file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) Open Debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22.debug Try to find probe point from debuginfo. Matched function: showmanyc An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-2). Trying to use symbols. Failed to find symbol showmanyc in /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22 Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2) ---- This is because one of showmanyc is defined as inline but no instance found. With this fix, it is succeeded to show as below. ---- $ perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 -D showmanyc p:probe_libstdc++/showmanyc /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0xb0e50 p:probe_libstdc++/showmanyc_1 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0xc7c40 p:probe_libstdc++/showmanyc_2 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0xecfa0 p:probe_libstdc++/showmanyc_3 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x115fc0 p:probe_libstdc++/showmanyc_4 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.22:0x121a90 ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Tested-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/147464489775.29804.3190419491209875936.stgit@devboxSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
