Hi,
Here is the 2nd version of a series to enable debuginfod support on perf probe command. This allows users to access debuginfo binary from remote device.
In this version I fixed a build error when libdebuginfod is not installed ([2/2]).
Since the perf-probe heavily depends on the debuginfo, debuginfod gives us many benefits on the perf probe command on remote machine, especially for the embedded devices.
Here is an example (copied from [2/2])
1. at first you need to start debuginfod on the host machine. -F option scans local debuginfo binary. (You don't need to pass the source tree, but you must keep the source tree untouched)
(host) $ cd PATH/TO/KBUILD/DIR/ (host) $ debuginfod -F . ...
2. In the remote machine, you need to set DEBUGINFOD_URLS. debuginfod uses 8002 tcp port.
(remote) # export DEBUGINFOD_URLS="http://$HOST_IP:8002/"
3. Then you can use the perf probe (it can refer the source code)
(remote) # perf probe -L vfs_read <vfs_read@...> 0 ssize_t vfs_read(struct file *file, char __user *buf, size_t count, loff_t *pos) { 2 ssize_t ret;
if (!(file->f_mode & FMODE_READ)) return -EBADF; 6 if (!(file->f_mode & FMODE_CAN_READ)) return -EINVAL; 8 if (unlikely(!access_ok(buf, count))) return -EFAULT;
11 ret = rw_verify_area(READ, file, pos, count); 12 if (ret) return ret; if (count > MAX_RW_COUNT) ...
(remote) # perf probe -a "vfs_read count" Added new event: probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read with count)
(remote) # perf probe -l probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read@ksrc/linux/fs/read_write.c with count)
Thank you,
