H A Ddwarf-aux.hdiff 349e8d2611316cce11c0b9d0830ebb585c9b82b8 Mon May 11 04:25:03 CDT 2015 He Kuang <hekuang@huawei.com> perf probe: Add --range option to show a variable's location range

It is not easy for users to get the accurate byte offset or the line
number where a local variable can be probed.

With '--range' option, local variables in the scope of the probe point
are showed with a byte offset range, and can be added according to this
range information.

For example, there are some variables in the function
generic_perform_write():

<generic_perform_write@mm/filemap.c:0>
0 ssize_t generic_perform_write(struct file *file,
1 struct iov_iter *i, loff_t pos)
2 {
3 struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping;
4 const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops;
...
42 status = a_ops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, bytes, flags,
&page, &fsdata);
44 if (unlikely(status < 0))

But we fail when we try to probe the variable 'a_ops' at line 42 or 44.

$ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write:42 a_ops'
Failed to find the location of a_ops at this address.
Perhaps, it has been optimized out.

This is because the source code do not match the assembly, so a variable
may not be available in the source code line where it appears.

After this patch, we can lookup the accurate byte offset range of a
variable, 'INV' indicates that this variable is not valid at the given
point, but available in the scope:

$ perf probe --vars 'generic_perform_write:42' --range
Available variables at generic_perform_write:42
@<generic_perform_write+141>
[INV] ssize_t written @<generic_perform_write+[324-331]>

[VAL] struct page* page @<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>

Then it is more clear for us to add a probe with this variable:

$ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+170 a_ops'
Added new event:
probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write+170 with a_ops)
