Support adding probes on offline kernel modules. This enables
perf-probe to trace kernel-module init functions via perf-probe.
If user gives the path of module with -m option, perf-probe
expects the module is offline.
This feature works with --add, --funcs, and --vars.
E.g)
# perf probe -m /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko \
-a "extent_io_init:5 extent_state_cache"
Add new events:
probe:extent_io_init (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
probe:extent_io_init_1 (on extent_io_init:5 with extent_state_cache)
You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:extent_io_init_1 -aR sleep 1

Add filters support for available variable list.
Default filter is "!__k???tab_*&!__crc_*" for filtering out
automatically generated symbols.
The format of filter rule is "[!]GLOBPATTERN", so you can use wild
cards. If the filter rule starts with '!', matched variables are filter
out.
e.g.:
# perf probe -V schedule --externs --filter=cpu*
Available variables at schedule
@<schedule+0>
cpumask_var_t cpu_callout_mask
cpumask_var_t cpu_core_map
cpumask_var_t cpu_isolated_map

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

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>

# ./perf probe --module drm drm_vblank_info:3 node m

The probe plugin requires access to the source code for some operations. The
source code must be in the exact same location as specified by the DWARF tags,
but sometimes the location is an absolute path that cannot be replicated by a
normal user. This change adds the -s|--source option to allow the user to
specify the root of the kernel source tree.

Fix probe_point array-size overrun problem. In some cases (e.g.
inline function), one user-specified probe-point can be
translated to many probe address, and it overruns pre-defined
array-size. This also removes redundant MAX_PROBES macro
definition.

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.

I noticed while writing the first test in 'perf regtest' that to
just test the symbol handling routines one needs to create a
perf session, that is a layer centered on a perf.data file,
events, etc, so I untied these layers.
This reduces the complexity for the users as the number of
parameters to most of the symbols and session APIs now was
reduced while not adding more state to all the map instances by
only having data that is needed to split the kernel (kallsyms
and ELF symtab sections) maps and do vmlinux relocation on the
main kernel map.

This error is caused by:

| "FUNC[:RLN[+NUM|:RLN2]]|SRC:ALN[+NUM|:ALN2]",
| "Show source code lines.", opt_show_lines),

My environment defines NO_LIBDWARF, so gcc treated
opt_show_lines() as garbage. So I moved opt_show_lines() into

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)

struct hrtimer *timer = &rq->hrtick_timer;
1086 ktime_t time = ktime_add_ns(timer->base->get_time(), delay);
hrtimer_set_expires(timer, time);
1090 if (rq == this_rq()) {

1093 __smp_call_function_single(cpu_of(rq), &rq->hrtick_csd,

If you specifying function name, this shows function-relative
line number.
