'perf probe' supports using just the kernel module name, but that will
work only when the module is loaded, or using the full pathname to the
file with the DWARF debug info, but the warning was cryptic:
Before:
# perf probe -m cls_flower -L fl_change
Failed to find the path for cls_flower: No such file or directory
Error: Failed to show lines.
#
After:
# perf probe -m cls_flower -L fl_change
Module cls_flower is not loaded, please specify its full path name.
Error: Failed to show lines.
# perf probe -m /lib/modules/5.0.0-rc7+/kernel/net/sched/cls_flower.ko -L fl_change | head -7
<fl_change@/home/acme/git/linux/net/sched/cls_flower.c:0>
0 static int fl_change(struct net *net, struct sk_buff *in_skb,
struct tcf_proto *tp, unsigned long base,
u32 handle, struct nlattr **tca,
void **arg, bool ovr, struct netlink_ext_ack *extack)
4 {
5 struct cls_fl_head *head = rtnl_dereference(tp->root);
#
The behaviour doesn't change when the module is loaded:
# modprobe cls_flower
# perf probe -m cls_flower -L fl_change | head -7

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.
