+- objtrace
+
+  This command provides a way to get the value of any object, The object
+  can be obtained from the dynamic event (kprobe_event/uprobe_event) or the
+  static event (tracepoint).
+
+  Syntax:
+        objtrace:add:obj[,offset][:type][:count][if <filter>]
+
+  Usage:
+  When using the kprobe event, by only need to set the objtrace (a new
+  trigger), we can get the value of object that is set by kprobe event.
+
+  For example, for the function bio_add_page():
+
+  .. code-block:: c
+
+     int bio_add_page(struct bio *bio, struct page *page,
+	              unsigned int len, unsigned int offset)
+
+  Firstly, we can set the base of the object as first parameter (arg1) to
+  to the function:
+
+  .. code-block::
+
+     # echo 'p bio_add_page arg1=$arg1' > ./kprobe_events
+
+  Secondly, we can get the value dynamically based on the object:
+
+  .. code-block::
+
+     find the offset of the bi_size in struct bio:
+     $ gdb vmlinux
+     (gdb) p &(((struct bio *)0)->bi_iter.bi_size)
+     $1 = (unsigned int *) 0x28
+
+     # echo 'objtrace:add:arg1,0x28:u32:1 if comm == "cat"' > ./events/kprobes/ \
+       p_bio_add_page_0/trigger
+
+     # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
+     # echo 'p bio_add_page arg1=$arg1' > ./kprobe_events
+     # echo 'objtrace:add:arg1,0x28:u32:1 if comm == "cat"' > ./events/kprobes/p_bio_add_page_0/trigger
+
+     # du -sh /test.txt
