Subject: [BUGFIX PATCH 1/4] perf probe: Skip end-of-sequence and non statement lines
Date: Wed, 30 Oct 2019 16:09:21 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <157241936090.32002.12156347518596111660.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <157241935028.32002.10228194508152968737.stgit@devnote2>

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.
