Masami Hiramatsu 8f664b2e9b perf probe: Skip overlapped location on searching variables
[ Upstream commit dee36a2abb67c175265d49b9a8c7dfa564463d9a ]

Since debuginfo__find_probes() callback function can be called with  the
location which already passed, the callback function must filter out
such overlapped locations.

add_probe_trace_event() has already done it by commit 1a375ae7659a
("perf probe: Skip same probe address for a given line"), but
add_available_vars() doesn't. Thus perf probe -v shows same address
repeatedly as below:

  # perf probe -V vfs_read:18
  Available variables at vfs_read:18
          @<vfs_read+217>
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file
          @<vfs_read+217>
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file
          @<vfs_read+226>
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file

With this fix, perf probe -V shows it correctly:

  # perf probe -V vfs_read:18
  Available variables at vfs_read:18
          @<vfs_read+217>
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file
          @<vfs_read+226>
                  char*   buf
                  loff_t* pos
                  ssize_t ret
                  struct file*    file

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.
