Fix to probe on gcc generated functions on modules. Since probing on a module is based on its symbol name, it should be adjusted on actual symbols. E.g. without this fix, perf probe shows probe definition on non-exist symbol as below. $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -F in_range* in_range.isra.12 $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range+0 With this fix, perf probe correctly shows a probe on gcc-generated symbol. $ perf probe -m build-x86_64/net/netfilter/nf_nat.ko -D in_range p:probe/in_range nf_nat:in_range.isra.12+0 This also fixes same problem on online module as below. $ perf probe -m i915 -D assert_plane p:probe/assert_plane i915:assert_plane.constprop.134+0 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> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/148411450673.9978.14905987549651656075.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
