perf probe: Fix perf probe to find correct variable DIE
Fix perf probe to find correct variable DIE which has location or external instance by tracking down the lexical blocks. Current die_find_variable() expects that the all variable DIEs which has DW_TAG_variable have a location. However, since recent dwarf information may have declaration variable DIEs at the entry of function (subprogram), die_find_variable() returns it. To solve this problem, it must track down the DIE tree to find a DIE which has an actual location or a reference for external instance. e.g. finding a DIE which origin is <0xdc73>; <1><11496>: Abbrev Number: 95 (DW_TAG_subprogram) <11497> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc42> <1149b> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x1850 [...] <2><114cc>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_variable) <- this is a declaration <114cd> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc73> <2><114d1>: Abbrev Number: 119 (DW_TAG_variable) [...] <3><115a7>: Abbrev Number: 105 (DW_TAG_lexical_block) <115a8> DW_AT_ranges : 0xaa0 <4><115ac>: Abbrev Number: 96 (DW_TAG_variable) <- this has a location <115ad> DW_AT_abstract_origin: <0xdc73> <115b1> DW_AT_location : 0x486c (location list) Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Acked-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140529121930.30879.87092.stgit@ltc230.yrl.intra.hitachi.co.jp Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org>
