yes, but this wont work unless the *ppos value is updated instead of the
file->f_pos, because of:
SYSCALL_DEFINE3(write, unsigned int, fd, const char __user *, buf,
size_t, count)
{
[snip]
loff_t pos = file_pos_read(file);
ret = vfs_write(file, buf, count, &pos);
file_pos_write(file, pos);
[snip]
Together with this fix I included fix for FTRACE_ITER_CONT flag, since
it does not seem to work correctly.
As far as I understand the reason for FTRACE_ITER_CONT flag is when
there's one regexp. in more write calls. I made a program to test it.
[snip]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int fd, i;
char *file = argv[1];
if (-1 == (fd = open(file, O_WRONLY))) {
perror("open failed");
return -1;
}
for(i = 0; i < (argc - 2); i++) {
int len = strlen(argv[2+i]);
int cnt, off = 0;
while(len) {
cnt = write(fd, argv[2+i] + off, len);
len -= cnt;
off += cnt;
}
}
close(fd);
return 0;
}
[snip]
I got following behaviour on the current tip master:
sh-4.0# /tst ./set_ftrace_filter sys_o "pen "
sh-4.0# cat ./set_ftrace_filter
#### all functions enabled ####
