commit 239aeba764 ("perf powerpc: Fix kprobe and kretprobe handling with
kallsyms on ppc64le") changed how we use the offset field in struct kprobe on
ABIv2. perf now offsets from the global entry point if an offset is specified
and otherwise chooses the local entry point.
Fix the same in kernel for kprobe API users. We do this by extending
kprobe_lookup_name() to accept an additional parameter to indicate the offset
specified with the kprobe registration. If offset is 0, we return the local
function entry and return the global entry point otherwise.
With:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
# echo "p _do_fork" >> kprobe_events
# echo "p _do_fork+0x10" >> kprobe_events
before this patch:
# cat ../kprobes/list
c0000000000d0748 k _do_fork+0x8 [DISABLED]
c0000000000d0758 k _do_fork+0x18 [DISABLED]
c0000000000412b0 k kretprobe_trampoline+0x0 [OPTIMIZED]
and after:
# cat ../kprobes/list

c0000000000d04d0 k _do_fork+0x10 [DISABLED]

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.
