Subject: [PATCH v6 0/3] Add new trace-cmd record options: "--proc-map"
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 14:24:54 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190828112457.10533-1-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com> (raw)
New options to trace-cmd record are added:
- "--proc-map" - Saves traced process(es) address map in trace.dat
file.
- "--user" - Executes the traced process as given user.
As "--proc-map" option uses trace-cmd ptrace logic, part of this code is
rewritten. There were some leftovers related to this logic, the code is
upadted.
[
v6 changes:
- Added warning message when allocation of pids array fails.
- Put extra brackets around complex blocks in record_trace(),
as Steven Rostedt suggested.
v5 changes:
- Added new patch:
"Extend ptrace logic to work with multiple filtered pids"
It resolves "filter_pid" leftover in ptrace related logic.
- "--proc-map" does not depend on option -F, it works with any command,
specified as trace-cmd argument or option -P.
- Renamed "mmap" to "proc-map" - the option name and the names of
the functions, variables and defines related to this feature.
v4 changes:
- Added check for strdup() failure.
- Made input user string argument of change_user() and run_cmd()
constant.
- Added description of the new "--mmap" trace-cmd option in the
program's help and the man page. (Suggested by Slavomir Kaslev)
Problems, reported by Yordan Karadzhov:
- Improved the parsing of /proc/<pid>/maps. Made it not so strict, as it
failed on some machines due to different size of fields.
- Implemented trace_pid_mmap_free() cleanup function to free mmap
related resources at trace-cmd exit.
- Fixed potential problem with non-terminated string, returned by
readlink().
- Coding style fixes.
v3 changes:
- "--user" does not depend on option -F, it works with any command,
specified as trace-cmd argument.
- Changed tracecmd_search_task_mmap() API to return not only the library
name, but also the start and end memory addresses.
- Renamed *tracee* to *task*
- Improved resources cleanup, in case of an error.
- Removed (this) changelog from the commit message.
v2 changes:
- Check for errors in change_user(). If an error occurs while
changing the user, the message is printed and the traced
process is not executed.
- Replaced usage of tracecmd_add_option_v() with tracecmd_add_option() API.
- Added checks to prevent buffer overflow when sscanf (... "%s", buf) is used.
- Return error in case memory allocation fails.
- Return error if option string is not in the expected format.
- Sort memory maps and use binary search to find matching library in the map.
