perf probe: Prevent segfault when reading probe point with absolute address
'perf probe -l' panic if there is a manually inserted probing point with absolute address. For example: # echo 'p:probe/abs_ffffffff811e6615 0xffffffff811e6615' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events # perf probe -l Segmentation fault (core dumped) This patch fix this problem by considering the situation that "tp->symbol == NULL" in find_perf_probe_point_from_dwarf() and find_perf_probe_point_from_map(). After this patch: # perf probe -l probe:abs_ffffffff811e6615 (on SyS_write+5@fs/read_write.c) And when debug info is missing: # rm -rf ~/.debug # mv /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux /lib/modules/4.2.0-rc1+/build/vmlinux.bak # perf probe -l probe:abs_ffffffff811e6615 (on sys_write+5) Signed-off-by: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1440509256-193590-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
