[ Upstream commit eb6933b29d20bf2c3053883d409a53f462c1a3ac ]
Fix perf probe to probe an inlne function which has no entry pc
or low pc but only has ranges attribute.
This seems very rare case, but I could find a few examples, as
same as probe_point_search_cb(), use die_entrypc() to get the
entry address in probe_point_inline_cb() too.
Without this patch:
# perf probe -D __amd_put_nb_event_constraints
Failed to get entry address of __amd_put_nb_event_constraints.
Probe point '__amd_put_nb_event_constraints' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
With this patch:
# perf probe -D __amd_put_nb_event_constraints
p:probe/__amd_put_nb_event_constraints amd_put_event_constraints+43
Committer testing:
Before:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -D __amd_put_nb_event_constraints
Failed to get entry address of __amd_put_nb_event_constraints.
Probe point '__amd_put_nb_event_constraints' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
[root@quaco ~]#
After:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -D __amd_put_nb_event_constraints
p:probe/__amd_put_nb_event_constraints _text+33789
[root@quaco ~]#
Fixes: 4ea42b181434 ("perf: Add perf probe subcommand, a kprobe-event setup helper")

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.
