Masami Hiramatsu c7006692a8 perf probe: Check address correctness by map instead of _etext
commit 2ae5d0d7d8868df7c05c2013c0b9cddd4d40610e upstream.

Since commit 03db8b583d ("perf tools: Fix
maps__find_symbol_by_name()") introduced map address range check in
maps__find_symbol_by_name(), we can not get "_etext" from kernel map
because _etext is placed on the edge of the kernel .text section (=
kernel map in perf.)

To fix this issue, this checks the address correctness by map address
range information (map->start and map->end) instead of using _etext
address.

This can cause an error if the target inlined function is embedded in
both __init function and normal function.

For exaample, request_resource() is a normal function but also embedded
in __init reserve_setup(). In this case, the probe point in
reserve_setup() must be skipped.

However, without this fix, it failes to setup all probe points:

  # ./perf probe -v request_resource
  probe-definition(0): request_resource
  symbol:request_resource file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
  0 arguments
  Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
  Using /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.5.17-200.fc31.x86_64/vmlinux for symbols
  Open Debuginfo file: /usr/lib/debug/lib/modules/5.5.17-200.fc31.x86_64/vmlinux
  Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
  Matched function: request_resource [15e29ad]
  found inline addr: 0xffffffff82fbf892
  Probe point found: reserve_setup+204
  found inline addr: 0xffffffff810e9790
  Probe point found: request_resource+0
  Found 2 probe_trace_events.
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//kprobe_events write=1
  Opening /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//README write=0
  Writing event: p:probe/request_resource _text+33290386
  Failed to write event: Invalid argument
    Error: Failed to add events. Reason: Invalid argument (Code: -22)
  #

With this fix,

  # ./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

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
