[PATCH -tip perf/probes 00/10] x86 insn decoder bugfixes

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Tue Oct 27 2009 - 16:42:51 EST


Hi Ingo,

Here are bugfixes and some enhances of x86-insn decoder and perf-probe.
- x86 insn decoder supports AVX and FMA.
- perf-probe syntax change.
- perf-probe supports function-relative line number.
- minor bugfixes.

New perf-probe syntax is below:

perf probe 'PROBE'

or

perf probe --add 'PROBE'

where, PROBE is

<source>:<line-number>

or

<function>[:<rel-lineno>|+<byte-offset>|%return][@<source>]

e.g.

perf probe 'schedule:10@kernel/sched.c'

puts a probe at 10th line from entry line of schedule() function
in kernel/sched.c." and

perf probe 'vmalloc%return'

puts a return probe at the returning of vmalloc.

TODO:
- Support --line option to show which lines user can probe.
- Support lazy string matching.

Thank you,

---
