From 334e5519c3757019cc591d4539d5aca199bdb114 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Masami Hiramatsu (Google)" Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2023 21:39:55 +0900 Subject: tracing/probes: Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit. Add fprobe events for tracing function entry and exit instead of kprobe events. With this change, we can continue to trace function entry/exit even if the CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE is not available. Since CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE requires the CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS, it is not available if the architecture only supports CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS. And that means kprobe events can not probe function entry/exit effectively on such architecture. But this can be solved if the dynamic events supports fprobe events. The fprobe event is a new dynamic events which is only for the function (symbol) entry and exit. This event accepts non register fetch arguments so that user can trace the function arguments and return values. The fprobe events syntax is here; f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS] f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS] E.g. # echo 'f vfs_read $arg1' >> dynamic_events # echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events f:fprobes/vfs_read__entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1 f:fprobes/vfs_read__exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval # echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable # head -n 20 trace | tail # TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | ||||| | | sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386420: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386436: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386451: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386458: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386469: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386476: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.602073: vfs_read__entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.602089: vfs_read__exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/168507469754.913472.6112857614708350210.stgit@mhiramat.roam.corp.google.com/ Reported-by: kernel test robot Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/202302011530.7vm4O8Ro-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) --- tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/kprobe/kprobe_syntax_errors.tc | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'tools/testing/selftests/ftrace') diff --git a/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/kprobe/kprobe_syntax_errors.tc b/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/kprobe/kprobe_syntax_errors.tc index 9e85d3019ff0..97c08867490a 100644 --- a/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/kprobe/kprobe_syntax_errors.tc +++ b/tools/testing/selftests/ftrace/test.d/kprobe/kprobe_syntax_errors.tc @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ check_error() { # command-with-error-pos-by-^ } if grep -q 'r\[maxactive\]' README; then -check_error 'p^100 vfs_read' # MAXACT_NO_KPROBE +check_error 'p^100 vfs_read' # BAD_MAXACT_TYPE check_error 'r^1a111 vfs_read' # BAD_MAXACT check_error 'r^100000 vfs_read' # MAXACT_TOO_BIG fi -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
