perf probe: Add basic module support
Add basic module probe support on perf probe. This introduces "--module
<MODNAME>" option to perf probe for putting probes and showing lines and
variables in the given module.
Currently, this supports only probing on running modules. Supporting off-line
module probing is the next step.
e.g.)
[show lines]
# ./perf probe --module drm -L drm_vblank_info
<drm_vblank_info:0>
0 int drm_vblank_info(struct seq_file *m, void *data)
1 {
struct drm_info_node *node = (struct drm_info_node *) m->private
3 struct drm_device *dev = node->minor->dev;
...
[show vars]
# ./perf probe --module drm -V drm_vblank_info:3
Available variables at drm_vblank_info:3
@<drm_vblank_info+20>
(unknown_type) data
struct drm_info_node* node
struct seq_file* m
[put a probe]
# ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m
Add new event:
probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3 with node m)
You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:drm_vblank_info -aR sleep 1
[list probes]
# ./perf probe -l
probe:drm_vblank_info (on drm_vblank_info:3@drivers/gpu/drm/drm_info.c with ...
