Right, but I tried following your instructions here and got up to this:
<0><76ded>: Abbrev Number: 1 (DW_TAG_compile_unit)
<76dee> DW_AT_name : main
<76df3> DW_AT_language : 22 (Go)
<76df4> DW_AT_stmt_list : 0x27a7d
<76df8> DW_AT_low_pc : 0x48cd90
<76e00> DW_AT_ranges : 0x2e0
<76e04> DW_AT_comp_dir : .
<76e06> DW_AT_producer : Go cmd/compile go1.13.6
<76e1e> Unknown AT value: 2905: main
<1><76e23>: Abbrev Number: 4 (DW_TAG_subprogram)
<76e24> DW_AT_name : main.example
<76e31> DW_AT_inline : 1 (inlined)
<76e32> DW_AT_external : 1
<2><76e33>: Abbrev Number: 17 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
<76e34> DW_AT_name : param1
<76e3b> DW_AT_variable_parameter: 0
<76e3c> DW_AT_type : <0x37430>
<2><76e40>: Abbrev Number: 17 (DW_TAG_formal_parameter)
<76e41> DW_AT_name : param2
<76e48> DW_AT_variable_parameter: 0
<76e49> DW_AT_type : <0x37430>
<2><76e4d>: Abbrev Number: 0
Which, with or without your patch ends with:
[acme@...e daniel.shaulov@...il.com]$ perf probe -x ./example 'main.example param1 param2'
Failed to find 'param1' in this function.
Probe point 'main.example' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
[acme@...e daniel.shaulov@...il.com]$
[acme@...e perf]$ rpm -q golang-bin
golang-bin-1.13.6-1.fc31.x86_64
[acme@...e perf]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 31 (Thirty One)
[acme@...e perf]$
Has the behaviour changed again in 1.13? Or is this some optimization
level that fedora sets that ends up auto-inlining that main.example
routine?
[acme@...e daniel.shaulov@...il.com]$ readelf --debug-dump=info ./example | grep main\.example -B10 -A13
