Subject[PATCH -tip ] [BUGFIX/URGENT] perf-probe: Do not add offset to uprobe address
From
Date
Fix perf-probe not to add offset value to uprobe probe
address when post processing.
tevs[i].point.address is the address of symbol+offset,
but current perf-probe adjusts the point.address by
adding the offset. As a result, the probe address becomes
symbol+offset+offset. This may cause unexpected
code corruption. Urgent fix is needed.

Without this fix
---
# ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4
# ./perf probe -l
probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b8)
# nm ./perf.orig | grep dso__load_vmlinux\$
000000000046d0a0 T dso__load_vmlinux
---
You can see the given offset is 3 but the actual probed
address is dso__load_vmlinux+8.

With this fix
---
# ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4
# ./perf probe -l
probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b4)
---
Now the problem is fixed.
