Nah, I saw you trying to add "perf probe -a __up" and stopped there,
hadn't seen that it fails _as well_ for just listing the source code...
Yes, I managed to reproduce the problem and test your fix, it works:
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe --del __up
Removed event: probe:__up
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe -L __up
Specified source line is not found.
Error: Failed to show lines.
---->>>>>> APPLY THE PATCH, rebuild and try again:
[root@zoo ~]#
[root@zoo ~]# perf probe -L __up
<__up@...me/git/linux/kernel/locking/semaphore.c:0>
0 static noinline void __sched __up(struct semaphore *sem)
{
struct semaphore_waiter *waiter = list_first_entry(&sem->wait_list,
struct semaphore_waiter, list);
4 list_del(&waiter->list);
5 waiter->up = true;
6 wake_up_process(waiter->task);
7 }
[root@zoo ~]#
--------------------------------------------------------------
So its just this other case that fails, vmalloc_fault, can you check
this one? Does it happen in your machine as well?
Applying your patch, thanks,
- Arnaldo
