[PATCH perf/core v2 0/3] perf-probe bugfixes

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi Arnaldo,

Here is the updated series of bugfix patches for perf-probe.
I've fixed inverted bool flags bug on the 1/3.
This series fixes below bugs;

 - --list shows the list of probes in stderr.
   (It is refined from https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/30/34)
 - non-probe-able symbols (out of .text) are not checked when
   using symbol maps.
 - usage message is not shown if the last event is skipped.

Thank you,

---

[PATCH perf/core v2 1/3] [BUGFIX] perf probe: List probes in stdout

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Since commit 5e17b28f1e24 ("perf probe: Add --quiet option to
suppress output result message") have replaced printf with pr_info,
perf probe -l outputs its result in stderr. However, that is not
what the commit expected.
e.g.
  -----
  # perf probe -l > /dev/null
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
  -----
With this fix,
  -----
  # perf probe -l > list
  # cat list
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
  -----
Of course, --quiet(-q) still works on --add/--del.
  -----
  # perf probe -q vfs_write
  # perf probe -l
    probe:vfs_read       (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)
    probe:vfs_write      (on vfs_write@ksrc/linux-3/fs/read_write.c)

[PATCH perf/core v2 2/3] [BUGFIX] perf probe: Check non-probe-able symbols when using symbol map

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Fix to check both of non-exist symbols and kprobe blacklist symbols at
symbol-map based converting too.

E.g. without this fix, perf-probe failes to write the event.
  ----
  # perf probe vfs_caches_init_early
  Added new event:
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events.
  ----

This fixes it to catch the error before adding probes.
  ----
  # perf probe vfs_caches_init_early
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
    Error: Failed to add events.

Well, here, after I applied 1/3 in this series, before this patch, I
get:


[root@zoo ~]# grep vfs_caches_init_early /proc/kallsyms 
ffffffff81d8e60f T vfs_caches_init_early
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe vfs_caches_init_early
vfs_caches_init_early+0 is out of .text, skip it.
Probe point 'vfs_caches_init_early' not found.
  Error: Failed to add events.
[root@zoo ~]#

What am I doind wrong? I am getting the message you said I should get after
applying your patch, before I apply it... /me confused :-\

First patch applied, waiting for you on this and the next.

Hmm, right, I also checked you right. Maybe I misused bad binary
(of kernel?)... sorry about that.

Anyway, this patch is also fixing another bug to return error if
the symbol is blacklisted. I'll fix the comment and sort the bugs
out.

Thank you,

[PATCH perf/core v2 3/3] [BUGFIX] perf probe: Show usage even if the last event is skipped

[Masami Hiramatsu]

When the last part of converted events are blacklisted or out-of-text,
those are skipped and perf probe doesn't show usage examples.
This fixes it to show the example even if the last part of event list
is skipped.

E.g. without this patch, events are added, but suddenly end;
  ----
  # perf probe vfs_*
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
  vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_fallocate  (on vfs_*)
    probe:vfs_open       (on vfs_*)
  ...
    probe:vfs_dentry_acceptable (on vfs_*)
    probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)
  #
  ----
With this fix;
  ----
  # perf probe vfs_*
  vfs_caches_init_early is out of .text, skip it.
  vfs_caches_init is out of .text, skip it.
  Added new events:
    probe:vfs_fallocate  (on vfs_*)
  ...
    probe:vfs_load_quota_inode (on vfs_*)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe:vfs_load_quota_inode -aR sleep 1
