Fix to show ranges of variables (--range and --vars option) in functions
which DIE has only ranges but no entry_pc attribute.
Without this fix:
# perf probe --range -V clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
Available variables at clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
@<clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0>
(No matched variables)
With this fix:
# perf probe --range -V clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
Available variables at clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
@<clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0>
[VAL] int cpu @<clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+[0-35,317-317,2052-2059]>
Committer testing:
Before:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe --range -V clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
Available variables at clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
@<clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0>
(No matched variables)
[root@quaco ~]#
After:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe --range -V clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
Available variables at clear_tasks_mm_cpumask
@<clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+0>
[VAL] int cpu @<clear_tasks_mm_cpumask+[0-23,23-105,105-106,106-106,1843-1850,1850-1862]>
[root@quaco ~]#
Using it:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe clear_tasks_mm_cpumask cpu
Added new event:
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask with cpu)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask -aR sleep 1
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -l
probe:clear_tasks_mm_cpumask (on clear_tasks_mm_cpumask@kernel/cpu.c with cpu)
[root@quaco ~]#
[root@quaco ~]# perf trace -e probe:*cpumask
^C[root@quaco ~]#

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.
