perf auxtrace: Fix address filter duplicate symbol selection
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When a match has been made to the nth duplicate symbol, return
success not error.

Example:

  Before:

    $ cat file.c
    cat: file.c: No such file or directory
    $ cat file1.c
    #include <stdio.h>

    static void func(void)
    {
            printf("First func\n");
    }

    void other(void);

    int main()
    {
            func();
            other();
            return 0;
    }
    $ cat file2.c
    #include <stdio.h>

    static void func(void)
    {
            printf("Second func\n");
    }

    void other(void)
    {
            func();
    }

    $ gcc -Wall -Wextra -o test file1.c file2.c
    $ perf record -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter func @ ./test' -- ./test
    Multiple symbols with name 'func'
    #1      0x1149  l       func
                    which is near           main
    #2      0x1179  l       func
                    which is near           other
    Disambiguate symbol name by inserting #n after the name e.g. func #2
    Or select a global symbol by inserting #0 or #g or #G
    Failed to parse address filter: 'filter func @ ./test'
    Filter format is: filter|start|stop|tracestop <start symbol or address> [/ <end symbol or size>] [@<file name>]
    Where multiple filters are separated by space or comma.
    $ perf record -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter func #2 @ ./test' -- ./test
    Failed to parse address filter: 'filter func #2 @ ./test'
    Filter format is: filter|start|stop|tracestop <start symbol or address> [/ <end symbol or size>] [@<file name>]
    Where multiple filters are separated by space or comma.

  After:

    $ perf record -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter func #2 @ ./test' -- ./test
    First func
    Second func

    1231062.526977619:   tr end  call               558495708188 func =>     558495708050 _init
    1231062.526979286:   tr strt                               0 [unknown] =>     55849570818d func
    1231062.526979286:   tr end  return             55849570818f func =>     55849570819d other
