From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> commit f41ebe9defacddeae96a872a33f0f22ced0bfcef upstream. When a probe point is expanded to several places (like inlined) and if some of them are skipped because of blacklisted or __init function, those trace_events has no event name. It must be skipped while showing results. Without this fix, you can see "(null):(null)" on the list, # ./perf probe request_resource reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it. Added new events: (null):(null) (on request_resource) probe:request_resource (on request_resource) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1 # With this fix, it is ignored: # ./perf probe request_resource reserve_setup is out of .text, skip it. Added new events: probe:request_resource (on request_resource) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:request_resource -aR sleep 1 # Fixes: 5a51fcd1f30c ("perf probe: Skip kernel symbols which is out of .text") Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/158763968263.30755.12800484151476026340.stgit@de...
