perf probe: Do not add offset twice to uprobe address
Fix perf-probe not to add offset value twice to uprobe probe address when post processing. The tevs[i].point.address struct member is the address of symbol+offset, but current perf-probe adjusts the point.address by adding the offset. As a result, the probe address becomes symbol+offset+offset. This may cause unexpected code corruption. Urgent fix is needed. Without this fix: --- # ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4 # ./perf probe -l probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b8) # nm ./perf.orig | grep dso__load_vmlinux\$ 000000000046d0a0 T dso__load_vmlinux --- You can see the given offset is 3 but the actual probed address is dso__load_vmlinux+8. With this fix: --- # ./perf probe -x ./perf dso__load_vmlinux+4 # ./perf probe -l probe_perf:dso__load_vmlinux (on 0x000000000006d2b4) --- Now the problem is fixed.
