Subject: [PATCH v13 10/12] selftests: ftrace: Add wprobe trigger testcase
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 18:25:04 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <178739070441.1520941.13438898193952389821.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <178739053919.1520941.17662338993878200834.stgit@devnote2>
From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org>
Add a testcase for checking wprobe trigger. This sets set_wprobe and
clear_wprobe triggers on fprobe event and static trace event to
monitor memory accesses within the trace-events-sample kernel module.
Also add a testcase for verifying wprobe trigger syntax error logging.
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/59637b96946653393a7ad3c7de094094796b39c2.1785067572.git.wangjinchao600@gmail.com/

Changes in v13:
- Look up target function dynamically in trigger-wprobe-syntax-errors.tc.
- Disable set_wprobe trigger before verifying clear_wprobe in
trigger-wprobe.tc to avoid race condition with sample_timer_cb.
Changes in v12:
- Add trigger-wprobe-syntax-errors.tc for verifying wprobe trigger syntax
error logging.
- Fix requires line in trigger-wprobe-syntax-errors.tc so test is not
evaluated as unsupported prior to execution.
- Define dfd=$arg1 fetcharg on testevent for trigger syntax checks.
Changes in v11:
- Update testcase to use trace-events-sample kernel module instead of
VFS file operations.
