Verify user given probe line is a representive line (which doesn't share
the address with other lines or the line is the least line among the
lines which shares same address), and if not, it shows what is the
representive line.
Without this fix, user can put a probe on the lines which is not a a
representive line. But since this is not a representive line, perf probe
-l shows a representive line number instead of user given line number.
e.g. (put kernel_read:3, but listed as kernel_read:2)
# perf probe -a kernel_read:3
Added new event:
probe:kernel_read (on kernel_read:3)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:kernel_read -aR sleep 1
# perf probe -l
probe:kernel_read (on kernel_read:2@linux-5.0.0/fs/read_write.c)
With this fix, perf probe doesn't allow user to put a probe on a
representive line, and tell what is the representive line.
# perf probe -a kernel_read:3
This line is sharing the addrees with other lines.
Please try to probe at kernel_read:2 instead.
Error: Failed to add events.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
