* perf probe: Support function@filename syntax for --lineMasami Hiramatsu2011-02-161-3/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since "perf probe --add" supports function@filename syntax, --line option should also support it.

* perf probe: Add basic module supportMasami Hiramatsu2010-10-211-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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; ...

* perf probe: Add kernel source path optionChase Douglas2010-06-171-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* perf probe: Add lazy line matching supportMasami Hiramatsu2010-02-251-3/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
