Subject: Re: [PATCH v8 0/4] trace: Introduce objtrace trigger to trace the
 kernel object

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for updating the series, I'm testing the series and found some
issues. See below;

So doing after this command, I dumped the trigger file.

# cat events/kprobes/p_bio_add_page_0/trigger 
objtrace:count=1 if comm == "cat"

This is not correct. All the parameters are dropped. Thus I can not
remove the trigger without knowing the original command.

# echo '!objtrace:count=1 if comm == "cat"' >> ./events/kprobes/p_bio_add_page_0/trigger
sh: write error: Invalid argument

And there are another minor issue is here;

 # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
 # echo 'p bio_add_page $arg1 $arg2' > ./kprobe_events
 # echo 'objtrace:add:arg1,0x28:u32:1 if comm == "cat"' > ./events/kprobes/p_bio_add_page_0/trigger
 # echo '!objtrace:add:arg2' >> events/kprobes/p_bio_add_page_0/trigger 

Here, if I passed the "!objtrace:add:<a-field-exists-on-event>" then the objtrace
trigger was removed. But as you can see, the parameter is different.
Anyway, this is a minor issue, since we don't support multiple objtrace trigger
on the same event.

Could you fix these issues (and update the test case to check this?)

Thank you,
