[PATCH v3 0/2] perf probe: fix regression introduced by switch to die_get_decl_file

From: Georg Müller
Date: Wed Jun 28 2023 - 05:02:48 EST


When switching from dwarf_decl_file() to die_get_decl_file(), a regression
was introduced when having a binary where the DWARF info is split to
multiple CUs. It is not possible to add probes to certain functions.

These patches introduce a testcase which shows the current regression
and a fix for the issue
