perf probe: Do not access kallsyms when analyzing user binaries
Do not access kallsyms to show available variables and show source lines in user binaries. This behavior always requires the root privilege when sysctl sets kernel.kptr_restrict=1, but we don't need it just for analyzing user binaries. Without this patch (by normal user, kptr_restrict=1): ---- $ perf probe -x ./perf -V add_cmdname Failed to init vmlinux path. Error: Failed to show vars. $ perf probe -x ./perf -L add_cmdname Failed to init vmlinux path. Error: Failed to show lines. ---- With this patch: ---- $ perf probe -x ./perf -V add_cmdname Available variables at add_cmdname @<perf_unknown_cmd_config+144> (No matched variables) @<list_commands_in_dir+160> (No matched variables) @<add_cmdname+0> char* name size_t len struct cmdnames* cmds $ perf probe -x ./perf -L add_cmdname <add_cmdname@/home/fedora/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/util/help.c:0> 0 void add_cmdname(struct cmdnames *cmds, const char *name, size_t len) 1 { 2 struct cmdname *ent = malloc(sizeof(*ent) + len + 1); 4 ent->len = len; 5 memcpy(ent->name, name, len); 6 ent->name[len] = 0; ... ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: david lerner <dlernerdroid@gmail.com> Cc: linux-perf-user@vger.kernel.org Cc: yrl.pp-manager.tt@hitachi.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140917084054.3722.73975.stgit@kbuild-f20.novalocal [ Added missing 'bool user' argument to the !DWARF show_line_range() stub ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
