Fix 'perf probe' to probe a function which has no entry pc or low pc but
only has ranges attribute.
probe_point_search_cb() uses dwarf_entrypc() to get the probe address,
but that doesn't work for the function DIE which has only ranges
attribute. Use die_entrypc() instead.
Without this fix:
# perf probe -k ../build-x86_64/vmlinux -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
With this:
# perf probe -k ../build-x86_64/vmlinux -D clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
p:probe/clear_tasks_mm_cpumask clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0
Committer testing:
Before:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
Probe point 'clear_tasks_mm_cpumask' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
[root@quaco ~]#
After:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask:0
Added new event:
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask -aR sleep 1
[root@quaco ~]#
Using it with 'perf trace':
[root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
Doesn't seem to be used in x86_64:
$ find . -name "*.c" | xargs grep clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
./kernel/cpu.c: * clear_tasks_mm_cpumask - Safely clear tasks' mm_cpumask for a CPU

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
