perf probe: Support probes on init functions for offline kernel
'perf probe' internally checks the probe target is in the text area in post-process (after analyzing debuginfo). But it fails if the probe target is in the "inittext". This is a good limitation for the online kernel because such functions have gone after booting. However, for using it for boot-time tracing, user may want to put a probe on init functions. This skips the post checking process if the target is offline kenrel so that user can get the probe definition on the init functions. Without this patch: $ perf probe -k ./build-x86_64/vmlinux -D do_mount_root:10 Probe point 'do_mount_root:10' not found. Error: Failed to add events. With this patch: $ perf probe -k ./build-x86_64/vmlinux -D do_mount_root:10 p:probe/do_mount_root_L10 mount_block_root+300 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/162282410293.452340.13347006295826431632.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
