[PATCH 4/5] perf probe: Support tracing an entry of array

Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
2010-07-06T01:04:47Z

From: Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>

Add array-entry tracing support to perf probe. This enables to trace an entry
of array which is indexed by constant value, e.g. array[0].

For example:

$ perf probe -a 'bio_split bi->bi_io_vec[0]'

[NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@SYMBOL[:TYPE]

-'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
+'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
'TYPE' casts the type of this argument (optional). If omitted, perf probe automatically set the type based on debuginfo. You can specify 'string' type only for the local variable or structure member which is an array of or a pointer to 'char' or 'unsigned char' type.
