[PATCH 09/18] tracing: Add indexing of arguments for function based events

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0009-tracing-Add-indexing-of-arguments-for-function-based.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 4011 bytes --]

From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Currently reading of 8 byte words can only happen 8 bytes aligned from the
argument. But there may be cases that they are 4 bytes aligned. To make the
capturing of arguments more flexible, add a plus '+' operator that can index
the variable at arbitrary indexes to get any location.

 u64 arg+4[3]

Will get an 8 byte word at index 28 (3 * 8 + 4)

+Offsets
+=======
+
+After the name of the variable, brackets '[' number ']' will index the value of
+the argument by the number given times the size of the field.
+
+ int field[5] will dereference the value of the argument 20 bytes away (4 * 5)
+  as sizeof(int) is 4.
+
+If there's a case where the type is of 8 bytes in size but is not 8 bytes
+alligned in the structure, an offset may be required.
+
+  For example: x64 param+4[2]
+
+The above will take the parameter value, add it by 4, then index it by two
+8 byte words. It's the same in C as: (u64 *)((void *)param + 4)[2]
+
+ Note: "int skb[32]" is the same as "int skb+4[31]".
