tracing/kprobes: Fix strpbrk() argument order

2018-11-05T14:47:14Z

Fix strpbrk()'s argument order, it must pass acceptable string in 2nd argument. Note that this can cause a kernel panic where it recovers backup character to code->data.

tracing: probeevent: Fix uninitialized used of offset in parse args

2018-10-12T16:50:22Z

Dan's smatch utility found an uninitialized use of offset in a path in parse_probe_args(). Unless an offset is specifically specified for commands that allow them, it should default to zero.

tracing/kprobes: Allow kprobe-events to record module symbol

2018-10-11T02:19:12Z

Allow kprobe-events to record module symbols. Since data symbols in a non-loaded module doesn't exist, it fails to define such symbol as an argument of kprobe-event. But if the kprobe event is defined on that module, we can defer to resolve the symbol address. Note that if given symbol is not found, the event is kept unavailable. User can enable it but the event is not recorded.

tracing: probeevent: Add $argN for accessing function args

2018-10-11T02:19:11Z

Add $argN special fetch variable for accessing function arguments. This allows user to trace the Nth argument easily at the function entry. Note that this returns most probably assignment of registers and stacks. In some case, it may not work well. If you need to access correct registers or stacks you should use perf-probe.

tracing: probeevent: Add array type support

2018-10-11T02:19:10Z

Add array type support for probe events. This allows user to get arraied types from memory address. The array type syntax is TYPE[N] Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64, x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less than 64. The string array type is a bit different from other types. For other base types, [1] is equal to (e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array", but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example, +0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

tracing: probeevent: Add symbol type

2018-10-11T02:19:10Z

Add "symbol" type to probeevent, which is an alias of u32 or u64 (depends on BITS_PER_LONG). This shows the result value in symbol+offset style. This type is only available with kprobe events.

Append traceprobe_ for exported function set_print_fmt() as same as other functions. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/152465877071.26224.11143125027282999726.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing: probeevent: Unify fetch type tables

2018-10-11T02:19:08Z

Unify {k,u}probe_fetch_type_table to probe_fetch_type_table because the main difference of those type tables (fetcharg methods) are gone. Now we can consolidate it.

tracing: probeevent: Introduce new argument fetching code

2018-10-11T02:19:07Z

Replace {k,u}probe event argument fetching framework with switch-case based. Currently that is implemented with structures, macros and chain of function-pointers, which is more complicated than necessary and may get a performance penalty by retpoline. This simplify that with an array of "fetch_insn" (opcode and oprands), and make process_fetch_insn() just interprets it. No function pointers are used.

tracing: probeevent: Remove NOKPROBE_SYMBOL from print functions

2018-10-11T02:19:07Z

Remove unneeded NOKPROBE_SYMBOL from print functions since the print functions are only used when printing out the trace data, and not from kprobe handler.
