Subjectproblems with perf probe and system libraries
Hi Masami:

I have been looking at perf-probe again and having a number of problems
with top of tree.

Here's the first one I have isolated:

$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.18.so -a 'malloc size=%di'
Probe point 'malloc' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.

$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.18.so -F | grep malloc
malloc
malloc@plt
malloc_atfork
malloc_check
malloc_consolidate
malloc_hook_ini
malloc_info
malloc_printerr
mallochook
ptmalloc_init
ptmalloc_init.part.8
ptmalloc_lock_all
ptmalloc_unlock_all
ptmalloc_unlock_all2
tr_mallochook

$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.18.so -a 'malloc=malloc size=%di'
Probe point 'malloc' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.

A year ago (v3.12) this worked fine so I did a git bisect which points to:

commit fb7345bbf7fad9bf72ef63a19c707970b9685812
Author: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com>
Date: Thu Dec 26 05:41:53 2013 +0000

perf probe: Support basic dwarf-based operations on uprobe events

I have tried top of tree on Fedora 16, 18 and 20 with a variety of
kernels - and a variety of results. Reverting to
8a613d40e389b723fd5889ac8d4033ed4030be31 which is the commit before this
one and it works again.

David
