Subject: [PATCH perf/core] [BUGFIX] perf-probe: Fix to show correct error message for $vars and $params
Date: Mon, 4 Jul 2016 11:06:03 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <146759796338.11253.5952822264987768289.stgit@devbox> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160704110329.16a776a8278115dc990b13c0@kernel.org>
In-Reply-To: <20160704110329.16a776a8278115dc990b13c0@kernel.org>
Fix to show correct error messages for $vars and $params because
those special variables requires debug information to find the
real variables or function parameters.
E.g. without this fix;
----
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.23.so getaddrinfo \$params
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Please upgrade your kernel to at least 3.14 to have access to feature $params
Error: Failed to add events.
----
Perf ends up with an error, but the message is not correct.
With this fix, perf shows correct error message as below.
----
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.23.so getaddrinfo \$params
The /usr/lib64/libc-2.23.so file has no debug information.
Rebuild with -g, or install an appropriate debuginfo package.
Error: Failed to add events.
