Commit 4c85935122 ("perf probe: Support
glob wildcards for function name") introduces a problem:
# /root/perf probe kmem_cache_free
Failed to find symbol kmem_cache_free in kernel
Error: Failed to add events.
The reason is the replacement of map__for_each_symbol_by_name() (by
map__for_each_symbol()). Although their names are similar,
map__for_each_symbol doesn't call map__load() and dso__sort_by_name()
before searching. The missing of map__load() causes this problem because
it search symbol before load dso map.
This patch ensures map__load() is called before using
map__for_each_symbol().
After this patch:
# /root/perf probe kmem_cache_free
Added new event:
probe:kmem_cache_free (on kmem_cache_free%return)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:kmem_cache_free -aR sleep 1
