perf probe: Use right type to access array elements Current 'perf probe' converts the type of array-elements incorrectly. It always converts the types as a pointer of array. This passes the "array" type DIE to the type converter so that it can get correct "element of array" type DIE from it. E.g. ==== $ cat hello.c #include <stdio.h> void foo(int a[]) { printf("%d\n", a[1]); } void main() { int a[3] = {4, 5, 6}; printf("%d\n", a[0]); foo(a); } $ gcc -g hello.c -o hello $ perf probe -x ./hello -D "foo a[1]" ==== Without this fix, above outputs ==== p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):u64 ==== The "u64" means "int *", but a[1] is "int". With this, ==== p:probe_hello/foo /tmp/hello:0x4d3 a=+4(-8(%bp)):s32 ==== So, "int" correctly converted to "s32" Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Ravi Bangoria <ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com> Cc: linux-kselftest@vger.kernel.org Cc: linux-trace-users@vger.kernel.org Fixes: b2a3c12b7442 ("perf probe: Support tracing an entry of array") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/152129114502.31874.2474068470011496356.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
