perf probe: Do not show non representive lines by perf-probe -L
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since perf probe -L shows non representive lines, it can be mislead
users where user can put probes.  This prevents to show such non
representive lines so that user can understand which lines user can
probe.

  # perf probe -L kernel_read
  <kernel_read@/build/linux-pvZVvI/linux-5.0.0/fs/read_write.c:0>
        0  ssize_t kernel_read(struct file *file, void *buf, size_t count, loff_t *pos)
           {
        2         mm_segment_t old_fs;
                  ssize_t result;

                  old_fs = get_fs();
        6         set_fs(get_ds());
                  /* The cast to a user pointer is valid due to the set_fs() */
        8         result = vfs_read(file, (void __user *)buf, count, pos);
        9         set_fs(old_fs);
       10         return result;
           }
           EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_read);

Committer testing:

Before:

  # perf probe -L kernel_read
  <kernel_read@/usr/src/debug/kernel-5.3.fc30/linux-5.3.8-200.fc30.x86_64/fs/read_write.c:0>
        0  ssize_t kernel_read(struct file *file, void *buf, size_t count, loff_t *pos)
        1  {
        2         mm_segment_t old_fs;
        3         ssize_t result;

        5         old_fs = get_fs();
        6         set_fs(KERNEL_DS);
                  /* The cast to a user pointer is valid due to the set_fs() */
        8         result = vfs_read(file, (void __user *)buf, count, pos);
        9         set_fs(old_fs);
       10         return result;
           }
           EXPORT_SYMBOL(kernel_read);

See the 1, 3, 5 lines? They shouldn't be there, after this patch:

                  ssize_t result;

                  old_fs = get_fs();
