perf probe: Fix wrong variable warning when the probe point is not found
Fix a wrong "variable not found" warning when the probe point is not found in the debuginfo. Since the debuginfo__find_probes() can return 0 even if it does not find given probe point in the debuginfo, fill_empty_trace_arg() can be called with tf.ntevs == 0 and it can emit a wrong warning. To fix this, reject ntevs == 0 in fill_empty_trace_arg(). E.g. without this patch; # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di" Failed to find the location of the '%di' variable at this address. Perhaps it has been optimized out. Use -V with the --range option to show '%di' location range. Added new events: probe_libc:memcpy (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di) probe_libc:memcpy (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1 With this; # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di" Added new events: probe_libc:memcpy (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di) probe_libc:memcpy (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1 Fixes: cb4027308570 ("perf probe: Trace a magic number if variable is not found") Reported-by: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Tested-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/159438667364.62703.2200642186798763202.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
