Filter out instances except for inlined_subroutine and subprogram DIE in
die_walk_instances() and die_is_func_instance().
This fixes an issue that perf probe sets some probes on calling address
instead of a target function itself.
When perf probe walks on instances of an abstruct origin (a kind of
function prototype of inlined function), die_walk_instances() can also
pass a GNU_call_site (a GNU extension for call site) to callback. Since
it is not an inlined instance of target function, we have to filter out
when searching a probe point.
Without this patch, perf probe sets probes on call site address too.This
can happen on some function which is marked "inlined", but has actual
symbol. (I'm not sure why GCC mark it "inlined"):
# perf probe -D vfs_read
p:probe/vfs_read _text+2500017
p:probe/vfs_read_1 _text+2499468
p:probe/vfs_read_2 _text+2499563
p:probe/vfs_read_3 _text+2498876
p:probe/vfs_read_4 _text+2498512
p:probe/vfs_read_5 _text+2498627
With this patch:
Slightly different results, similar tho:
# perf probe -D vfs_read
p:probe/vfs_read _text+2498512
Committer testing:

Before:

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.
