perf probe: Support multiprobe event
Support multiprobe event if the event is based on function and lines and kernel supports it. In this case, perf probe creates the first probe with an event, and tries to append following probes on that event, since those probes must be on the same source code line. Before this patch; # perf probe -a vfs_read:18 Added new events: probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18) probe:vfs_read_L18_1 (on vfs_read:18) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18_1 -aR sleep 1 # After this patch (on multiprobe supported kernel) # perf probe -a vfs_read:18 Added new events: probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18) probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18 -aR sleep 1 # Committer testing: On a kernel that doesn't support multiprobe events, after this patch: # 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 # grep append /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/README be modified by appending '.descending' or '.ascending' to a can be modified by appending any of the following modifiers # # perf probe -a vfs_read:18 Added new events: probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18) probe:vfs_read_L18_1 (on vfs_read:18) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_read_L18_1 -aR sleep 1 # perf probe -l probe:vfs_read_L18 (on vfs_read:18@fs/read_write.c) probe:vfs_read_L18_1 (on vfs_read:18@fs/read_write.c) # Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt (VMware) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/157406475010.24476.586290752591512351.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
