Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting
the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for
the machine.
Here is an example:
-----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params'
p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16
-----
Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target
machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).

'perf probe' through debuginfo__find_probes() in util/probe-finder.c
checks for the functions' frame descriptions in either .eh_frame section
of an ELF or the .debug_frame.
The check is based on whether either one of these sections is present.
Depending on distro, toolchain defaults, architetcutre, build flags,
etc., CFI might be found in either .eh_frame and/or .debug_frame.
Sometimes, it may happen that, .eh_frame, even if present, may not be
complete and may miss some descriptions.
Therefore, to be sure, to find the CFI covering an address we will
always have to investigate both if available.
For e.g., in powerpc, this may happen:
$ gcc -g bin.c -o bin
$ objdump --dwarf ./bin
<1><145>: Abbrev Number: 7 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<146> DW_AT_external : 1
<146> DW_AT_name : (indirect string, offset: 0x9e): main
<14a> DW_AT_decl_file : 1
<14b> DW_AT_decl_line : 39
<14c> DW_AT_prototyped : 1
<14c> DW_AT_type : <0x57>
<150> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x100007b8
If the .eh_frame and .debug_frame are checked for the same binary, we
will find that, .eh_frame (although present) doesn't contain a
description for "main" function.
But, .debug_frame has a description:
000000d8 00000024 00000000 FDE cie=00000000 pc=100007b8..10000838
DW_CFA_advance_loc: 16 to 100007c8
DW_CFA_def_cfa_offset: 144
DW_CFA_offset_extended_sf: r65 at cfa+16
...
Due to this (since, perf checks whether .eh_frame is present and goes on
searching for that address inside that frame), perf is unable to process
the probes:
# perf probe -x ./bin main
Failed to get call frame on 0x100007b8
Error: Failed to add events.
To avoid this issue, we need to check both the sections (.eh_frame and
.debug_frame), which is done in this patch.
Note that, we can always force everything into both .eh_frame and
.debug_frame by:
$ gcc bin.c -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fno-dwarf2-cfi-asm -g -o bin

Find the given address from offline dwarfs instead of online kernel
dwarfs.
On the KASLR enabled kernel, the kernel text section is loaded with
random offset, and the debuginfo__new_online_kernel can't handle it. So
let's move to the offline dwarf loader instead of using the online dwarf
loader.
As a result, since we don't need debuginfo__new_online_kernel any more,
this also removes the functions related to that.
Without this change;
# ./perf probe -l
probe:t_show (on _stext+901288 with m v)
probe:t_show_1 (on _stext+939624 with m v t)
probe:t_show_2 (on _stext+980296 with m v fmt)
probe:t_show_3 (on _stext+1014392 with m v file)
With this change;
# ./perf probe -l
probe:t_show (on t_show@linux-3/kernel/trace/ftrace.c with m v)
probe:t_show_1 (on t_show@linux-3/kernel/trace/trace.c with m v t)
probe:t_show_2 (on t_show@kernel/trace/trace_printk.c with m v fmt)
probe:t_show_3 (on t_show@kernel/trace/trace_events.c with m v file)
Changes from v2:
- Instead of retrying, directly opens offline dwarf.
- Remove debuginfo__new_online_kernel and related functions.
- Refer map->reloc to get the correct address of a symbol.
- Add a special case for handling ref_reloc_sym based address.

Fix perf probe to probe on some symbols which have some optimzation
suffixes, e.g. ".part", ".isra", and ".constprop".
To fix this issue, instead of using the DIE name, perf probe uses the
symbol name found by dwfl_module_addrsym().
This also involves a perf probe --vars operation update which now shows
the symbol name instead of the DIE name.
Without this patch, putting a probe on an inlined function which was
compiled with a suffixed symbol will fail like this:
$ perf probe -v getname_flags
probe-definition(0): getname_flags
symbol:getname_flags file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
0 arguments
Looking at the vmlinux_path (6 entries long)
Using /lib/modules/3.11.0+/build/vmlinux for symbols
found inline addr: 0xffffffff8119bb70
Probe point found: getname_flags+0
found inline addr: 0xffffffff8119bcb6
Probe point found: getname+6

Added new events:
Writing event: p:probe/getname_flags getname_flags+0
Failed to write event: No such file or directory
Error: Failed to add events. (-1)
Because the debuginfo knows only the original (non suffix) symbol name,
it uses the original symbol for probe address but the kernel (kallsyms)
knows only suffixed symbol. Then, the kernel rejects that original
symbol.
This patch uses dwfl_module_addrsym() to get the correct (suffixed)
symbol from symtab when a probe point is found.

Fix perf probe to search local variables in appropriate local inlined
function scope. For example, pre_schedule() has only 2 local variables,
as below;
$ perf probe -L pre_schedule
<pre_schedule@/home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux-2.6/kernel/sched.c:0>
0 static inline void pre_schedule(struct rq *rq, struct task_struct *prev)
{
2 if (prev->sched_class->pre_schedule)
3 prev->sched_class->pre_schedule(rq, prev);
}
However, current perf probe shows 4 local variables on pre_schedule(),
because it searches variables in the caller(schedule()) scope.
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule
Available variables at pre_schedule
@<schedule+445>
int cpu
long unsigned int* switch_count
struct rq* rq
struct task_struct* prev
This patch fixes this issue by searching variables in the local scope of
the instance of inlined function. Here is the result.
$ perf probe -V pre_schedule

This change removes the use of hardcoded absolute "/usr/include/elfutils" paths
from the perf build. The problem with hardcoded paths is that it prevents them
from being overridden by $prefix or by -I in CFLAGS (e.g., for cross-compiling
purposes).
Instead, just include the "elfutils/" subdirectory as a relative path when
files are needed from that directory.
Tested by building perf:
- Cross-compiled for ARM on x86_64
- Built natively on x86_64
- Built on x86_64 with /usr/include/elfutils moved to another location
and manually included in CFLAGS

perf probe works correctly on the kernel without CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.

Cleanup debuginfo related code to eliminate fragile code which
pointed by Ingo (Thanks!).
1) Invert logic of NO_DWARF_SUPPORT to DWARF_SUPPORT.
2) For removing assymetric/local variable ifdefs, introduce
more helper functions.
3) Change options order to reduce the number of ifdefs.

Add lazy line matching support for specifying new probes.
This also changes the syntax of perf probe a bit. Now
perf probe accepts one of below probe event definitions.
1) Define event based on function name
[EVENT=]FUNC[@SRC][:RLN|+OFF|%return|;PTN] [ARG ...]
2) Define event based on source file with line number
[EVENT=]SRC:ALN [ARG ...]
3) Define event based on source file with lazy pattern
[EVENT=]SRC;PTN [ARG ...]
- New lazy matching pattern(PTN) follows ';' (semicolon). And it
must be put the end of the definition.
- So, @SRC is no longer the part which must be put at the end
of the definition.
Note that ';' (semicolon) can be interpreted as the end of
a command by the shell. This means that you need to quote it.
(anyway you will need to quote the lazy pattern itself too,
because it may contains other sensitive characters, like
'[',']' etc.).
Lazy matching
-------------
The lazy line matching is similar to glob matching except
ignoring spaces in both of pattern and target.
e.g.
'a=*' can matches 'a=b', 'a = b', 'a == b' and so on.
This provides some sort of flexibility and robustness to
probe point definitions against minor code changes.
(for example, actual 10th line of schedule() can be changed
easily by modifying schedule(), but the same line matching
'rq=cpu_rq*' may still exist.)
Changes in v3:
- Cast Dwarf_Addr to uintmax_t for printf-formats.
Changes in v2:
- Cast Dwarf_Addr to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

Newer gcc introduces newer & richer debuginfo, and only libdw
in elfutils project can support it. So perf probe moves onto
elfutils-libdw from libdwarf.
Changes in v3:
- Cast Dwarf_Addr/Dwarf_Word to uintmax_t for printf-formats.
- Recover a sign-prefix which was removed in v2 by mistake.
Changes in v2:
- Fix a type-casting bug in Makefile.
- Cast Dwarf_Addr/Dwarf_Word to unsigned long long for printf-formats.

Add --line option to support showing probable source-code lines.
perf probe --line SRC:LN[-LN|+NUM]
or
perf probe --line FUNC[:LN[-LN|+NUM]]
This option shows source-code with line number if the line can
be probed. Lines without line number (and blue color) means that
the line can not be probed, because debuginfo doesn't have the
information of those lines.
The argument specifies the range of lines, "source.c:100-120"
shows lines between 100th to l20th in source.c file. And
"func:10+20" shows 20 lines from 10th line of func function.
e.g.
# ./perf probe --line kernel/sched.c:1080
<kernel/sched.c:1080>
*
* called with rq->lock held and irqs disabled

static void hrtick_start(struct rq *rq, u64 delay)

or

e.g.
./perf probe --add myprobe1=schedule
Note: currently group name is not supported yet, because it

Add perf probe subcommand that implements a kprobe-event setup helper
to the perf command.
This allows user to define kprobe events using C expressions (C line
numbers, C function names, and C local variables).
Usage
-----
perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...]
-k, --vmlinux <file> vmlinux/module pathname
-P, --probe <p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@SRC]|@SRC:LINE [ARG ...]>
probe point definition, where
p: kprobe probe
r: kretprobe probe
GRP: Group name (optional)
NAME: Event name
FUNC: Function name
OFFS: Offset from function entry (in byte)
SRC: Source code path
LINE: Line number
ARG: Probe argument (local variable name or
kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.)
Changes in v4:
- Add _GNU_SOURCE macro for strndup().
Changes in v3:
- Remove -r option because perf always be used for online kernel.
- Check malloc/calloc results.
Changes in v2:
- Check synthesized string length.
- Rename perf kprobe to perf probe.
- Use spaces for separator and update usage comment.
- Check error paths in parse_probepoint().
- Check optimized-out variables.
