Subject: [PATCH -tip v5 0/7] tracing: kprobe-based event tracer and x86
instruction decoder
Hi,
Here are the patches of kprobe-based event tracer for x86, version 5,
which allows you to probe various kernel events through ftrace interface.
This version supports only x86(-32/-64) (but porting it on other arch
just needs kprobes/kretprobes and register and stack access APIs).
This patchset also includes x86(-64) instruction decoder which
supports non-SSE/FP opcodes and includes x86 opcode map. I think
it will be possible to share this opcode map with KVM's decoder.
This series can be applied on the latest linux-2.6-tip tree.
This patchset includes following changes:
- Add x86 instruction decoder [1/7]
- Check insertion point safety in kprobe [2/7]
- Cleanup fix_riprel() with insn decoder [3/7]
- Add kprobe-tracer plugin [4/7]
- Fix kernel_trap_sp() on x86 according to systemtap runtime. [5/7]
- Add arch-dep register and stack fetching functions [6/7]
- Support fetching various status (register/stack/memory/etc.) [7/7]
Future items:
- .init function tracing support.
- Support primitive types(long, ulong, int, uint, etc) for args.
kprobe-based event tracer
---------------------------
This tracer is similar to the events tracer which is based on Tracepoint
infrastructure. Instead of Tracepoint, this tracer is based on kprobes(kprobe
and kretprobe). It probes anywhere where kprobes can probe(this means, all
functions body except for __kprobes functions).
Unlike the function tracer, this tracer can probe instructions inside of
kernel functions. It allows you to check which instruction has been executed.
Unlike the Tracepoint based events tracer, this tracer can add new probe points
on the fly.
Similar to the events tracer, this tracer doesn't need to be activated via
current_tracer, instead of that, just set probe points via
/debug/tracing/kprobe_events.
Synopsis of kprobe_events:
p SYMBOL[+offs|-offs]|MEMADDR [FETCHARGS] : set a probe
r SYMBOL[+0] [FETCHARGS] : set a return probe
FETCHARGS:
%REG : Fetch register REG
sN : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0)
@ADDR : Fetch memory at ADDR (ADDR should be in kernel)
@SYM[+|-offs] : Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)
aN : Fetch function argument. (N >= 0)(*)
rv : Fetch return value.(**)
ra : Fetch return address.(**)
+|-offs(FETCHARG) : fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address.(***)
(*) aN may not correct on asmlinkaged functions and at the middle of
function body.
(**) only for return probe.
(***) this is useful for fetching a field of data structures.
E.g.
echo p do_sys_open a0 a1 a2 a3 > /debug/tracing/kprobe_events
This sets a kprobe on the top of do_sys_open() function with recording
1st to 4th arguments.
echo r do_sys_open rv rp >> /debug/tracing/kprobe_events
This sets a kretprobe on the return point of do_sys_open() function with
recording return value and return address.
echo > /debug/tracing/kprobe_events
This clears all probe points. and you can see the traced information via
/debug/tracing/trace.
cat /debug/tracing/trace
# tracer: nop

# TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION

<...>-2084 [001] 265.380399: sys_open: <-do_sys_open+0 0x3 0xc06e8ebb
@SYMBOL means that kernel hits a probe, and <-SYMBOL means kernel returns
from SYMBOL(e.g. "sys_open: <-do_sys_open+0" means kernel returns from
do_sys_open to sys_open).
Thank you,
