From: "Naveen N. Rao" <naveen.n....@linux.vnet.ibm.com> We indicate support for accepting sym+offset with kretprobes through a line in ftrace README. Parse the same to identify support and choose the appropriate format for kprobe_events.
As an example, without this perf patch, but with the ftrace changes: naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/README | grep kretprobe place (kretprobe): [<module>:]<symbol>[+<offset>]|<memaddr> naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ naveen@ubuntu:~/linux/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf probe -v do_open%return probe-definition(0): do_open%return symbol:do_open file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:1 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long) Using /boot/vmlinux for symbols Open Debuginfo file: /boot/vmlinux Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
