perf trace: Support multiple "vfs_getname" probes
[ Upstream commit 6ab3bc240ade47a0f52bc16d97edd9accbe0024e ] With a suitably defined "probe:vfs_getname" probe, 'perf trace' can "beautify" its output, so syscalls like open() or openat() can print the "filename" argument instead of just its hex address, like: $ perf trace -e open -- touch /dev/null [...] 0.590 ( 0.014 ms): touch/18063 open(filename: /dev/null, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: IRUGO|IWUGO) = 3 [...] The output without such beautifier looks like: 0.529 ( 0.011 ms): touch/18075 open(filename: 0xc78cf288, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: IRUGO|IWUGO) = 3 However, when the vfs_getname probe expands to multiple probes and it is not the first one that is hit, the beautifier fails, as following: 0.326 ( 0.010 ms): touch/18072 open(filename: , flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: IRUGO|IWUGO) = 3 Fix it by hooking into all the expanded probes (inlines), now, for instance: [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -l probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:73@fs/namei.c with pathname) probe:vfs_getname_1 (on getname_flags:73@fs/namei.c with pathname) [root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e open* sleep 1 0.010 ( 0.005 ms): sleep/5588 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/ld.so.cache, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3 0.029 ( 0.006 ms): sleep/5588 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /lib64/libc.so.6, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3 0.194 ( 0.008 ms): sleep/5588 openat(dfd: CWD, filename: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: RDONLY|CLOEXEC) = 3 [root@quaco ~]# Works, further verified with: [root@quaco ~]# perf test vfs 65: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok 66: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok 67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok [root@quaco ~]# Reported-by: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Tested-by: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-mv8kolk17xla1smvmp3qabv1@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
