perf probe: Skip end-of-sequence and non statement lines
Skip end-of-sequence and non-statement lines while walking through lines
list.
The "end-of-sequence" line information means:
"the current address is that of the first byte after the
end of a sequence of target machine instructions."
(DWARF version 4 spec 6.2.2)
This actually means out of scope and we can not probe on it.
On the other hand, the statement lines (is_stmt) means:
"the current instruction is a recommended breakpoint location.
A recommended breakpoint location is intended to “represent”
a line, a statement and/or a semantically distinct subpart
of a statement."
(DWARF version 4 spec 6.2.2)
So, non-statement line info also should be skipped.
These can reduce unneeded probe points and also avoid an error.
E.g. without this patch:
# perf probe -a "clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1"
Added new events:
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_3 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_4 -aR sleep 1
#
This puts 5 probes on one line, but acutally it's not inlined function.
This is because there are many non statement instructions at the
function prologue.
With this patch:
# perf probe -a "clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1"
Added new event:
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask -aR sleep 1
#
Now perf-probe skips unneeded addresses.
Committer testing:
Slightly different results, but similar:
Before:
# 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
#
# perf probe -a "clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1"
Added new events:
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_1 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask_2 -aR sleep 1
#
After:
# perf probe -a "clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1"
Added new event:
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:1)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask -aR sleep 1
# perf probe -l
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@kernel/cpu.c)
#
