perf probe: Fix module probe issue if no dwarf support
Perf is not able to register probe in kernel module when dwarf supprt is not there(and so it goes for symtab). Perf passes full path of module where only module name is required which is causing the problem. This patch fixes this issue. Before applying patch: $ dpkg -s libdw-dev dpkg-query: package 'libdw-dev' is not installed and no information is... $ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko kprobe_init Added new event: probe:kprobe_init (on kprobe_init in /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:kprobe_init -aR sleep 1 $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/kprobe_init /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko:kprobe_init $ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:kprobe_init [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.105 MB perf.data ] $ sudo ./perf script # No output here After applying patch: $ sudo ./perf probe -m /linux/samples/kprobes/kprobe_example.ko kprobe_init Added new event: probe:kprobe_init (on kprobe_init in kprobe_example) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:kprobe_init -aR sleep 1 $ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events p:probe/kprobe_init kprobe_example:kprobe_init $ sudo ./perf record -a -e probe:kprobe_init [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.105 MB perf.data (2 samples) ] $ sudo ./perf script insmod 13990 [002] 5961.216833: probe:kprobe_init: ... insmod 13995 [002] 5962.889384: probe:kprobe_init: ...
