Subject: [PATCH v2 2/4] perf-probe: Fix wrong variable warning when the probe point is not found
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2020 22:11:13 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <159438667364.62703.2200642186798763202.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <159438665389.62703.13848613271334658629.stgit@devnote2>

Fix a wrong "variable not found" warning when the probe point is
not found in the debuginfo.
Since the debuginfo__find_probes() can return 0 even if it does not
find given probe point in the debuginfo, fill_empty_trace_arg() can
be called with tf.ntevs == 0 and it can warn a wrong warning.
To fix this, reject ntevs == 0 in fill_empty_trace_arg().

E.g. without this patch;

  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
  Failed to find the location of the '%di' variable at this address.
   Perhaps it has been optimized out.
   Use -V with the --range option to show '%di' location range.
  Added new events:
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1

With this;

  # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
  Added new events:
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
    probe_libc:memcpy    (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1
