perf probe: Support $params special probe argument
$params is similar to $vars but matches only function parameters not
local variables.
Thus, this is useful for tracing function parameter changing or tracing
function call with parameters.
Testing it:
# perf probe tcp_sendmsg '$params'
Added new event:
probe:tcp_sendmsg (on tcp_sendmsg with $params)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:tcp_sendmsg -aR sleep 1
# perf probe -l
probe:tcp_sendmsg (on tcp_sendmsg@acme/git/linux/net/ipv4/tcp.c with iocb sk msg size)
# perf record -a -e probe:*
press some random letters to generate TCP (sshd) traffic...
^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.223 MB perf.data (6 samples) ]

[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), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.) -'$vars' special argument is also available for NAME, it is expanded to the local variables which can access at given probe point. +'$vars' and '$params' special arguments are also available for NAME, '$vars' is expanded to the local variables (including function parameters) which can access at given probe point. '$params' is expanded to only the function parameters. '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. On x86 systems %REG is always the short form of the register: for example %AX. %RAX or %EAX is not valid. diff --git a/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.c b/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.c index b5bf9d5efeaf..63d33893d853 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.c @@ -1087,6 +1087,7 @@ found: struct local_vars_finder { struct probe_finder *pf; struct perf_probe_arg *args; + bool vars; int max_args; int nargs; int ret; @@ -1101,7 +1102,7 @@ static int copy_variables_cb(Dwarf_Die *die_mem, void *data) tag = dwarf_tag(die_mem); if (tag == DW_TAG_formal_parameter || - tag == DW_TAG_variable) { + (tag == DW_TAG_variable && vf->vars)) { if (convert_variable_location(die_mem, vf->pf->addr, vf->pf->fb_ops, &pf->sp_die, NULL) == 0) { @@ -1127,26 +1128,28 @@ static int expand_probe_args(Dwarf_Die *sc_die, struct probe_finder *pf, Dwarf_Die die_mem; int i; int n = 0; - struct local_vars_finder vf = {.pf = pf, .args = args, + struct local_vars_finder vf = {.pf = pf, .args = args, .vars = false, .max_args = MAX_PROBE_ARGS, .ret = 0}; for (i = 0; i < pf->pev->nargs; i++) { /* var never be NULL */ - if (strcmp(pf->pev->args[i].var, "$vars") == 0) { - pr_debug("Expanding $vars into:"); - vf.nargs = n; - /* Special local variables */ - die_find_child(sc_die, copy_variables_cb, (void *)&vf, - &die_mem); - pr_debug(" (%d)\n", vf.nargs - n); - if (vf.ret < 0) - return vf.ret; - n = vf.nargs; - } else { + if (strcmp(pf->pev->args[i].var, PROBE_ARG_VARS) == 0) + vf.vars = true; + else if (strcmp(pf->pev->args[i].var, PROBE_ARG_PARAMS) != 0) { /* Copy normal argument */ args[n] = pf->pev->args[i]; n++; + continue; } + pr_debug("Expanding %s into:", pf->pev->args[i].var); + vf.nargs = n; + /* Special local variables */ + die_find_child(sc_die, copy_variables_cb, (void *)&vf, + &die_mem); + pr_debug(" (%d)\n", vf.nargs - n); + if (vf.ret < 0) + return vf.ret; + n = vf.nargs; } return n; } diff --git a/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.h b/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.h index ebf8c8c81453..f53553d38845 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.h +++ b/tools/perf/util/probe-finder.h @@ -10,6 +10,9 @@ #define MAX_PROBES 128 #define MAX_PROBE_ARGS 128 +#define PROBE_ARG_VARS "$vars" +#define PROBE_ARG_PARAMS "$params" + static inline int is_c_varname(const char *name) { /* TODO */ |
