perf uprobe: Skip prologue if program compiled without optimization

perf uprobe: Skip prologue if program compiled without optimization

The function prologue prepares stack and registers before executing
function logic.

When target program is compiled without optimization, function parameter
information is only valid after the prologue.

When we probe entrypc of the function, and try to record a function
parameter, it contains a garbage value.

For example:

  $ vim test.c
    #include <stdio.h>

    void foo(int i)
    {
       printf("i: %d\n", i);
    }

    int main()
    {
      foo(42);
      return 0;
    }

  $ gcc -g test.c -o test
  $ objdump -dl test | less
    foo():
    /home/ravi/test.c:4
      400536:       55                      push   %rbp
      400537:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
      40053a:       48 83 ec 10             sub    -bashx10,%rsp
      40053e:       89 7d fc                mov    %edi,-0x4(%rbp)
    /home/ravi/test.c:5
      400541:       8b 45 fc                mov    -0x4(%rbp),%eax
    ...
    ...
    main():
    /home/ravi/test.c:9
      400558:       55                      push   %rbp
      400559:       48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
    /home/ravi/test.c:10
      40055c:       bf 2a 00 00 00          mov    -bashx2a,%edi
      400561:       e8 d0 ff ff ff          callq  400536 <foo>

  $ perf probe -x ./test 'foo i'
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
     p:probe_test/foo /home/ravi/test:0x0000000000000536 i=-12(%sp):s32

  $ perf record -e probe_test:foo ./test
  $ perf script
     test  5778 [001]  4918.562027: probe_test:foo: (400536) i=0

Here variable 'i' is passed via stack which is pushed on stack at
0x40053e. But we are probing at 0x400536.

To resolve this issues, we need to probe on next instruction after
prologue.  gdb and systemtap also does same thing. I've implemented this
patch based on approach systemtap has used.

After applying patch:

  $ perf probe -x ./test 'foo i'
  $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
    p:probe_test/foo /home/ravi/test:0x0000000000000541 i=-4(%bp):s32

  $ perf record -e probe_test:foo ./test
  $ perf script
    test  6300 [001]  5877.879327: probe_test:foo: (400541) i=42

No need to skip prologue for optimized case since debug info is correct
for each instructions for -O2 -g. For more details please visit:

Changes in v2:

- Skipping prologue only when any ARG is either C variable, $params or
  $vars.

- Probe on line(:1) may not be always possible. Recommend only address
  to force probe on function entry.

Committer notes:

Testing it with 'perf trace':

  # perf probe -x ./test foo i
  Added new event:
    probe_test:foo       (on foo in /home/acme/c/test with i)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	  perf record -e probe_test:foo -aR sleep 1

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  p:probe_test/foo /home/acme/c/test:0x0000000000000526 i=-12(%sp):s32
  # trace --no-sys --event probe_*:* ./test
  i: 42
     0.000 probe_test:foo:(400526) i=0)
  #

After the patch:

  # perf probe -d *:*
  Removed event: probe_test:foo
  # perf probe -x ./test foo i
  Target program is compiled without optimization. Skipping prologue.
  Probe on address 0x400526 to force probing at the function entry.

  Added new event:
    probe_test:foo       (on foo in /home/acme/c/test with i)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_test:foo -aR sleep 1

  # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events
  p:probe_test/foo /home/acme/c/test:0x0000000000000531 i=-4(%bp):s32
  # trace --no-sys --event probe_*:* ./test
  i: 42
     0.000 probe_test:foo:(400531) i=42)
