For example, there are some variables in function
generic_perform_write():
<generic_perform_write@mm/filemap.c:0>
0 ssize_t generic_perform_write(struct file *file,
1 struct iov_iter *i, loff_t pos)
2 {
3 struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping;
4 const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops;
...
42 status = a_ops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, bytes,
flags,
&page, &fsdata);
44 if (unlikely(status < 0))
But we got failed when we try to probe the variable 'a_ops' at line 42
or 44.
$ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write:42 a_ops'
Failed to find the location of a_ops at this address.
Perhaps, it has been optimized out.
This is because source code do not match assembly, so a variable may not
be available in the sourcecode line where it presents. After this patch,
we can lookup the accurate byte offset range of a variable, 'INV'
indicates that this variable is not valid at the given point, but
available in scope:
$ perf probe --vars 'generic_perform_write:42' --range
Available variables at generic_perform_write:42
@<generic_perform_write+141>
[INV] ssize_t written @<generic_perform_write+[324-331]>
[INV] struct address_space_operations* a_ops
@<generic_perform_write+[55-61,170-176,223-246]>
[VAL] (unknown_type) fsdata
@<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>
[VAL] loff_t pos
@<generic_perform_write+[0-286,286-336,346-411]>
[VAL] long int status
@<generic_perform_write+[83-342,346-411]>
[VAL] long unsigned int bytes
@<generic_perform_write+[122-311,320-338,346-403,403-411]>
[VAL] struct address_space* mapping
@<generic_perform_write+[35-344,346-411]>
[VAL] struct iov_iter* i
@<generic_perform_write+[0-340,346-411]>
[VAL] struct page* page
@<generic_perform_write+[70-307,346-411]>
Then it is more clearly for us to do the probe with this variable:
$ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+170 a_ops'
Added new event:
probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write+170 with a_ops)
