tracing/probe: Check the size of argument name and body

2019-03-14T23:53:57Z

Check the size of argument name and expression is not 0 and smaller than maximum length. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/155253783029.14922.12650939303827581096.stgit@devnote2 Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt (VMware)

tracing/kprobes: Use dyn_event framework for kprobe events

2018-12-09T01:54:09Z

Use dyn_event framework for kprobe events. This shows kprobe events on "tracing/dynamic_events" file. User can also define new events via tracing/dynamic_events.

tracing: Integrate similar probe argument parsers

Integrate similar argument parsers for kprobes and uprobes events into traceprobe_parse_probe_arg().

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.

tracing: probeevent: Return consumed bytes of dynamic area

2018-10-11T02:19:08Z

Cleanup string fetching routine so that returns the consumed bytes of dynamic area and store the string information as data_loc format instead of data_rloc. This simplifies the fetcharg loop.

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.
