tracing: Add an option to show symbols in _text+offset for function profiler
Function profiler shows the hit count of each function using its symbol name. However, there are some same-name local symbols, which we can not distinguish. To solve this issue, this introduces an option to show the symbols in "_text+OFFSET" format. This can avoid exposing the random shift of KASLR. The functions in modules are shown as "MODNAME+OFFSET" where the offset is from ".text". E.g. for the kernel text symbols, specify vmlinux and the output to addr2line, you can find the actual function and source info; $ addr2line -fie vmlinux _text+3078208 __balance_callbacks kernel/sched/core.c:5064 for modules, specify the module file and .text+OFFSET; $ addr2line -fie samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.ko .text+8224 do_simple_thread_func samples/trace_events/trace-events-sample.c:23 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/176187878064.994619.8878296550240416558.stgit@devnote2/ Suggested-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) <rostedt@goodmis.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
