Masami Hiramatsu 64b99a9205 perf probe: Filter out instances except for inlined subroutine and subprogram
[ Upstream commit da6cb952a8 ]

Filter out instances except for inlined_subroutine and subprogram DIE in
die_walk_instances() and die_is_func_instance().

This fixes an issue that perf probe sets some probes on calling address
instead of a target function itself.

When perf probe walks on instances of an abstruct origin (a kind of
function prototype of inlined function), die_walk_instances() can also
pass a GNU_call_site (a GNU extension for call site) to callback. Since
it is not an inlined instance of target function, we have to filter out
when searching a probe point.

Without this patch, perf probe sets probes on call site address too.This
can happen on some function which is marked "inlined", but has actual
symbol. (I'm not sure why GCC mark it "inlined"):

  # perf probe -D vfs_read
  p:probe/vfs_read _text+2500017
  p:probe/vfs_read_1 _text+2499468
  p:probe/vfs_read_2 _text+2499563
  p:probe/vfs_read_3 _text+2498876
  p:probe/vfs_read_4 _text+2498512
  p:probe/vfs_read_5 _text+2498627

With this patch:

Slightly different results, similar tho:

  # perf probe -D vfs_read
  p:probe/vfs_read _text+2498512

After:

  # perf probe -D vfs_read
  p:probe/vfs_read _text+3130000
