Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] Initial trace-cmd support for ftrace uprobes
Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2020 12:44:19 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201125104422.823216-1-tz.stoyanov@gmail.com> (raw)
Ftrace supports uprobes - trace events on user space applications.
Trace-cmd cannot configure uprobes, in order to support it this new
functionality is introduced:
- Function name to file offset mapping, this information is extracted
from the dwarf and ELF headers in the binary file.
- New options are added to "trace-cmd record" for setting a uprobe on
given file and the libraries it depends on:
--uprobe file:function
--uprobe-ret file:function
--libs
--no-libs
[
v3 changes:
- Added DEBUG_INTERNALS local define in trace-obj-debug.c, for printing
debug information about resolving process.
- Replaced function name regex match with simple wildcards match.
- Implemented functionality to search for functions in the libraries that
the given application depends on.
- Added --libs and --no-libs arguments to trace-cmd record.
v2 changes:
- Renamed some internal trace-cmd functions, to not overlap the bfd
library namespace. Suggested by Steven Rostedt.
