tracing/probe: add a char type to show the character value of traced arguments

2023-02-20T23:52:42Z

There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type. For example: The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want: echo 'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events we will get the following trace log: ... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''} Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221219110613.367098-1-dolinux.peng@gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Donglin Peng Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) Reported-by: kernel test robot Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)

tracing/histogram: Fix stacktrace histogram Documententation

Fix a small problem with the histogram specification in the Documentation, and change the example to show output using a stacktrace field rather than the global stacktrace.

tracing/histogram: Wrap remaining shell snippets in code blocks

2023-02-07T17:41:11Z

Most shell command snippets (echo/cat) and their output are already in literal code blocks. However a few still isn't wrapped, in which the htmldocs output is ugly. Wrap the remaining unwrapped snippets, while also fix recent kernel test robot warnings.

docs: ftrace: always use canonical ftrace path

2023-01-31T21:02:30Z

The canonical location for the tracefs filesystem is at /sys/kernel/tracing. But, from Documentation/trace/ftrace.rst: Before 4.1, all ftrace tracing control files were within the debugfs file system, which is typically located at /sys/kernel/debug/tracing. For backward compatibility, when mounting the debugfs file system, the tracefs file system will be automatically mounted at: /sys/kernel/debug/tracing Many parts of Documentation still reference this older debugfs path, so let's update them to avoid confusion.

tracing: Add a way to filter function addresses to function names

2023-01-25T15:31:11Z

There's been several times where an event records a function address in its field and I needed to filter on that address for a specific function name. It required looking up the function in kallsyms, finding its size, and doing a compare of "field >= function_start && field < function_end". But this would change from boot to boot and is unreliable in scripts. Also, it is useful to have this at boot up, where the addresses will not be known. For example, on the boot command line: trace_trigger="initcall_finish.traceoff if func.function == acpi_init" To implement this, add a ".function" prefix, that will check that the field is of size long, and the only operations allowed (so far) are "==" and "!=".
