While parsing the tracepoint events in parse_events_add_tracepoint()
function, code checks for HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT support. This is needed
since libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint. But while adding probe
points, check for LIBTRACEEVENT is not done in case of perf probe.
Hence, in environment with missing libtraceevent-devel, it is observed
that adding a probe point shows below message though it can't be used
via perf record.
Example:
Adding probe point:
./perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=result->name:string'
Added new event:
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
But trying perf record:
./perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
event syntax error: 'probe:vfs_getname'
\___ unsupported tracepoint
libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
The builtin tool like perf record needs libtraceevent to
parse tracefs. But still the probe can be used by enabling
via tracefs. Patch fixes the probe usage message to the user
based on presence of libtraceevent. With the fix,
# ./perf probe 'pmu:myprobe=schedule'
Added new event:
pmu:myprobe (on schedule)
perf is not linked with libtraceevent, to use the new probe you can use tracefs:
cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
echo 1 > events/pmu/myprobe/enable
echo 1 > tracing_on
cat trace_pipe
Before removing the probe, echo 0 > events/pmu/myprobe/enable

Now the boot-time tracing supports kprobes events and that must be
written in bootconfig file in the following format.
ftrace.event.kprobes.<EVENT_NAME>.probes = <PROBE-DEF>
'perf probe' already supports --definition (-D) action to show probe
definitions, but the format is for tracefs:
[p|r][:EVENT_NAME] <PROBE-DEF>
This patch adds the --bootconfig option for -D action so that it outputs
the probe definitions in bootconfig format. E.g.
$ perf probe --bootconfig -D "path_lookupat:7 err:s32 s:string"
ftrace.event.kprobes.path_lookupat_L7.probe = 'path_lookupat.isra.0+309 err_s32=%ax:s32 s_string=+0(%r13):string'

When a probe point is expanded to several places (like inlined) and if
some of them are skipped because of blacklisted or __init function,
those trace_events has no event name. It must be skipped while showing
results.
Without this fix, you can see "(null):(null)" on the list,
# ./perf probe request_resource
reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it.
Added new events:
(null):(null) (on request_resource)
probe:request_resource (on request_resource)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1
#
With this fix, it is ignored:

The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

'perf probe --del' removes caches when '--cache' is given. Note that
the delete pattern is not the same as for normal events.
If you cached probes with event name, --del "eventname" works as
expected. However, if you skipped it, the cached probes doesn't have
actual event name. In that case --del "probe-desc" is required (wildcard
is acceptable). For example a cache entry has the probe-desc "vfs_read
$params", you can remove it with --del 'vfs_read*'.

This patch keeps options of perf builtins same in all conditions. If
one option is disabled because of compiling options, users should be
notified.
Masami suggested another implementation in [1] that, by adding a
OPTION_NEXT_DEPENDS option before those options in the 'struct option'
array, options parser knows an option is disabled. However, in some
cases this array is reordered (options__order()). In addition, in
parse-option.c that array is const, so we can't simply merge
information in decorator option into the affacted option.
This patch chooses a simpler implementation that, introducing a
set_option_nobuild() function and two option parsing flags. Builtins
with such options should call set_option_nobuild() before option
parsing. The complexity of this patch is because we want some of options
can be skipped safely. In this case their arguments should also be
consumed.
Options in 'perf record' and 'perf probe' are fixed in this patch.

Fix a segfault bug and a small mistake in perf probe -d.
Since the "ulist" in perf_del_probe_events is never initialized,
strlist__add(ulist, *) always causes a segfault when removing
uprobe events by perf probe -d.
Also, the "str" local variable is never released if fail to
allocate the "klist". This fixes it too.
This has been introduced by the commit e607f1426b ("perf probe:

The init/exit_symbols_maps() functions are to setup and cleanup

However the names are too generic, so change them to have 'probe'. :)

It is not easy for users to get the accurate byte offset or the line
number where a local variable can be probed.
With '--range' option, local variables in the scope of the probe point
are showed with a byte offset range, and can be added according to this
range information.
For example, there are some variables in the 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 fail 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 the source code do not match the assembly, so a variable
may not be available in the source code line where it appears.
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 the 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 clear for us to add a 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)
