Subject[PATCH 3/3] perf probe: Add --range option to show variable location range
Date
It is not easy for users to get the accurate byte offset or the line
number where a local variable can be probed. With '--range' option,
local variables in scope of the probe point are showed with byte offset
range, and can be added according to this range information.

For example, there are some variables in function
generic_perform_write():

<generic_perform_write@mm/filemap.c:0>
0 ssize_t generic_perform_write(struct file *file,
1 struct iov_iter *i, loff_t pos)
2 {
3 struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping;
4 const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops;
...
42 status = a_ops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, bytes, flags,
&page, &fsdata);
44 if (unlikely(status < 0))

But we got failed when we try to probe the variable 'a_ops' at line 42
or 44.

$ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write:42 a_ops'
Failed to find the location of a_ops at this address.
Perhaps, it has been optimized out.

This is because source code do not match assembly, so a variable may not
be available in the sourcecode line where it presents. After this patch,
we can lookup the accurate byte offset range of a variable, 'INV'
indicates that this variable is not valid at the given point, but
available in scope:

$ perf probe --vars 'generic_perform_write:42' --range
Available variables at generic_perform_write:42
@<generic_perform_write+141>
[INV] ssize_t written [byte offset]: <324-331>
[INV] struct address_space_operations* a_ops [byte offset]: <55-61>,<170-176>,<223-246>
[VAL] (unknown_type) fsdata [byte offset]: <70-307>,<346-411>
[VAL] loff_t pos [byte offset]: <0-286>,<286-336>,<346-411>
[VAL] long int status [byte offset]: <83-342>,<346-411>
[VAL] long unsigned int bytes [byte offset]: <122-311>,<320-338>,<346-403>,<403-411>
[VAL] struct address_space* mapping [byte offset]: <35-344>,<346-411>
[VAL] struct iov_iter* i [byte offset]: <0-340>,<346-411>
[VAL] struct page* page [byte offset]: <70-307>,<346-411>

Then it is more clearly for us to do the probe with this variable:

$ perf probe --add 'generic_perform_write+170 a_ops'
Added new event:
probe:generic_perform_write (on generic_perform_write+170 with a_ops)
