tracing/kprobe: Update symbol reference when loading module

2011-07-15T19:45:32Z

Since the address of a module-local variable can only be solved after the target module is loaded, the symbol fetch-argument should be updated when loading target module.

tracing/kprobes: Support module init function probing

2011-07-15T19:17:14Z

To support probing module init functions, kprobe-tracer allows user to define a probe on non-existed function when it is given with a module name. This also enables user to set a probe on a function on a specific module, even if a same name (but different) function is locally defined in another module. The module name must be in the front of function name and separated by a ':'. e.g. btrfs:btrfs_init_sysfs Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20110627072656.6528.89970.stgit@fedora15 Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt

tracing/kprobes: Rename probe_* to trace_probe_*

2011-07-14T21:44:43Z

Rename probe_* to trace_probe_* for avoiding namespace confliction. This also fixes improper names of find_probe_event() and cleanup_all_probes() to find_trace_probe() and release_all_trace_probes() respectively.

tracing/kprobes: Fix kprobe-tracer to support stack trace

2011-06-15T02:48:53Z

Fix to support kernel stack trace correctly on kprobe-tracer. Since the execution path of kprobe-based dynamic events is different from other tracepoint-based events, normal ftrace_trace_stack() doesn't work correctly. To fix that, this introduces ftrace_trace_stack_regs() which traces stack via pt_regs instead of current stack register. e.g. # echo p schedule+4 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/options/stacktrace # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/enable # head -n 20 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace bash-2968 [000] 10297.050245: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) bash-2968 [000] 10297.050247: => schedule_timeout => n_tty_read => tty_read => vfs_read => sys_read => system_call_fastpath kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050265: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) kworker/0:1-2940 [000] 10297.050266: => worker_thread => kthread => kernel_thread_helper sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: p_schedule_4: (schedule+0x4/0x4ca) sshd-1132 [000] 10297.050365: => sysret_careful Note: Even with this fix, the first entry will be skipped if the probe is put on the function entry area before the frame pointer is set up (usually, that is 4 bytes (push %bp; mov %sp %bp) on x86), because stack unwinder depends on the frame pointer.

kprobes/trace: Fix kprobe selftest for gcc 4.6

2011-06-07T18:47:36Z

With gcc 4.6, the self test kprobe function: kprobe_trace_selftest_target() is optimized such that kallsyms does not list it. The kprobes test uses this function to insert a probe and test it. But it will fail the test if the function is not listed in kallsyms. Adding a __used annotation keeps the symbol in the kallsyms table.

sched: Get rid of lock_depth

2011-04-24T11:18:38Z

Neil Brown pointed out that lock_depth somehow escaped the BKL removal work. Let's get rid of it now. Note that the perf scripting utilities still have a bunch of code for dealing with common_lock_depth in tracepoints; I have left that in place in case anybody wants to use that code with older kernels.

tracing/kprobe: Fix NULL pointer deref check

Add NULL check for avoiding NULL pointer deref.
