Fix a wrong "variable not found" warning when the probe point is not
found in the debuginfo.
Since the debuginfo__find_probes() can return 0 even if it does not find
given probe point in the debuginfo, fill_empty_trace_arg() can be called
with tf.ntevs == 0 and it can emit a wrong warning. To fix this, reject
ntevs == 0 in fill_empty_trace_arg().
E.g. without this patch;
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
Failed to find the location of the '%di' variable at this address.
Perhaps it has been optimized out.
Use -V with the --range option to show '%di' location range.
Added new events:
probe_libc:memcpy (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
probe_libc:memcpy (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1
With this;
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.30.so -a "memcpy arg1=%di"
Added new events:
probe_libc:memcpy (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
probe_libc:memcpy (on memcpy in /usr/lib64/libc-2.30.so with arg1=%di)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_libc:memcpy -aR sleep 1

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.
