ftrace: kprobe: uprobe: Show u8/u16/u32/u64 types in decimal

2016-08-23T20:06:38Z

Change kprobe/uprobe-tracer to show the arguments type-casted with u8/u16/u32/u64 in decimal digits instead of hexadecimal. To minimize compatibility issue, the arguments without type casting are typed by x64 (or x32 for 32bit arch) by default. Note: all arguments set by old perf probe without types are shown in decimal by default.

ftrace: kprobe: uprobe: Add x8/x16/x32/x64 for hexadecimal types

2016-08-23T18:38:09Z

Add x8/x16/x32/x64 for hexadecimal type casting to kprobe/uprobe event tracer. These type casts can be used for integer arguments for explicitly showing them in hexadecimal digits in formatted text.

tracing: expose current->comm to [ku]probe events

2016-06-20T13:54:19Z

ftrace is very quick to give up on saving the task command line (see `trace_save_cmdline()`). The workaround for events which really care about the command line is to explicitly assign it as part of the entry. However, this doesn't work for kprobe events, as there's no straightforward way to get access to current->comm. Add a kprobe/uprobe event variable $comm which provides exactly that.

kernel/...: convert pr_warning to pr_warn

2016-03-22T22:36:02Z

Use the more common logging method with the eventual goal of removing pr_warning altogether.

trace: Don't use __weak in header files

2015-03-25T12:57:23Z

The commit that added a check for this to checkpatch says: "Using weak declarations can have unintended link defects. The __weak on the declaration causes non-weak definitions to become weak." In this case, when a PowerPC kernel is built with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT but not CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT, it generates the following warning: WARNING: 1 bad relocations c0000000014f2190 R_PPC64_ADDR64 uprobes_fetch_type_table This is fixed by passing the fetch_table arrays to traceprobe_parse_probe_arg() which also means that they can never be NULL.

tracing/probes: Do not use return value of trace_seq_printf()

2014-11-19T20:25:44Z

The functions trace_seq_printf() and friends will soon not have a return value and will only be a void function. Use trace_seq_has_overflowed() instead to know if the trace_seq operations succeeded or not.

kprobes, ftrace: Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro in ftrace

2014-04-24T08:26:39Z

Use NOKPROBE_SYMBOL macro to protect functions from kprobes instead of __kprobes annotation in ftrace. This applies nokprobe_inline annotation for some cases, because NOKPROBE_SYMBOL() will inhibit inlining by referring the symbol address.

kprobes, ftrace: Allow probing on some functions

2014-04-24T08:03:02Z

There is no need to prohibit probing on the functions used for preparation and uprobe only fetch functions. Those are safely probed because those are not invoked from kprobe's breakpoint/fault/debug handlers. So there is no chance to cause recursive exceptions. Following functions are now removed from the kprobes blacklist: update_bitfield_fetch_param free_bitfield_fetch_param kprobe_register FETCH_FUNC_NAME(stack, type) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, type) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(memory, string_size) in trace_uprobe.c FETCH_FUNC_NAME(file_offset, type) in trace_uprobe.c Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Steven Rostedt Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140417081800.26341.56504.stgit@ltc230.yrl.intra.hitachi.co.jp Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

tracing/uprobes: Add @+file_offset fetch method

2014-01-03T01:57:05Z

Enable to fetch data from a file offset. Currently it only supports fetching from same binary uprobe set. It'll translate the file offset to a proper virtual address in the process. The syntax is "@+OFFSET" as it does similar to normal memory fetching (@ADDR) which does no address translation.

tracing/uprobes: Add support for full argument access methods

2014-01-03T01:56:21Z

Enable to fetch other types of argument for the uprobes. IOW, we can access stack, memory, deref, bitfield and retval from uprobes now. The format for the argument types are same as kprobes (but @SYMBOL type is not supported for uprobes), i.e: @ADDR : Fetch memory at ADDR $stackN : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0) $stack : Fetch stack address $retval : Fetch return value +|-offs(FETCHARG) : Fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address Note that the retval only can be used with uretprobes.
