perf probe: Avoid searching variables in intermediate scopes
Fix variable searching logic to search one in inner than local scope or global(CU) scope. In the other words, skip searching in intermediate scopes. e.g., in the following code, int var1; void inline infunc(int i) { i++; <--- [A] } void func(void) { int var1, var2; infunc(var2); } At [A], "var1" should point the global variable "var1", however, if user mis-typed as "var2", variable search should be failed. However, current logic searches variable infunc() scope, global scope, and then func() scope. Thus, it can find "var2" variable in func() scope. This may not be what user expects. So, it would better not search outer scopes except outermost (compile unit) scope which contains only global variables, when it failed to find given variable in local scope. E.g. Without this: $ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > without.vars With this: $ perf probe -V pre_schedule --externs > with.vars Check the diff: $ diff without.vars with.vars 88d87 < int cpu 133d131 < long unsigned int* switch_count These vars are actually in the scope of schedule(), the caller of pre_schedule().
