perf probe: Cut off the gcc optimization postfixes from function name
Cut off the postfixes which gcc added for optimized routines from the event name automatically generated from symbol name, since *probe-events doesn't accept it. Those symbols will be used if we don't use debuginfo to find target functions. E.g. without this fix; ----- # perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23 probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23 symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) [...] Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1 Added new event: Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf.isra.23 _text+4869328 Failed to write event: Invalid argument Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22) ----- With this fix; ----- perf probe -va alloc_buf.isra.23 probe-definition(0): alloc_buf.isra.23 symbol:alloc_buf.isra.23 file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) [...] Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events write=1 Added new event: Writing event: p:probe/alloc_buf _text+4869328 probe:alloc_buf (on alloc_buf.isra.23) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:alloc_buf -aR sleep 1 ----- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Naohiro Aota <naota@elisp.net> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150612050820.20548.41625.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
