Since 'perf probe' supports cross-arch probes, it is possible to analyze
different arch kernel image which has different bits-per-long.
In that case, it fails to get the module name because it uses the
MOD_NAME_OFFSET macro based on the host machine bits-per-long, instead
of the target arch bits-per-long.
This fixes above issue by changing modname-offset based on the target
archs bit width. This is ok because linux kernel uses LP64 model on
64bit arch.
E.g. without this (on x86_64, and target module is arm32):
$ perf probe -m build-arm/fs/configfs/configfs.ko -D configfs_lookup
p:probe/configfs_lookup :configfs_lookup+0
^-Here is an empty module name.
With this fix, you can see correct module name:
$ perf probe -m build-arm/fs/configfs/configfs.ko -D configfs_lookup
p:probe/configfs_lookup configfs:configfs_lookup+0

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
