We have a kind of kernel path finder already inside perf. It might be
encapsulated
inside the load_kernel() helper, I don't remember exactly.

It would be better to make use of such centralized and already
existing facility.

The patchset looks good. I'll apply and push it soon.

Thanks a lot!

I'm an idiot. I should have looked at the 5/7 patch before sending this reply.
Just forget about what I said :-)

If it might conflict, then we should minimize the possibilities for
that to happen.

What if we prefix these fields with kprobed_ ?

kprobed_ip
kprobed_nargs
kprobed_ret_ip
kprobed_func

We are lucky there in that kprobe functions in the kernel can't be kprobed
so it's safe wrt the conflict in the same namespace.

And we can further schrink the kprobed prefixes in userspace post processing.

(If you agree with the above, that can be done incrementally).

Thanks.

No problem, I can add it, or rather include util/util.h as it includes
everything necessary for the string functions + _GNU_SOURCE :)

[Dle-develop] [PATCH tracing/kprobes v4] perf: Add perf probe subcommand for kprobe-event setup helper

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Add perf probe subcommand for kprobe-event setup helper to perf command.
This allows user to define kprobe events by C expressions (C line numbers,
C function names, and C local variables).

Usage
-----
 perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...]

    -k, --vmlinux <file>  vmlinux/module pathname
    -P, --probe <p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@SRC]|@SRC:LINE [ARG ...]>
                          probe point definition, where
		p:	kprobe probe
		r:	kretprobe probe
		GRP:	Group name (optional)
		NAME:	Event name
		FUNC:	Function name
		OFFS:	Offset from function entry (in byte)
		SRC:	Source code path
		LINE:	Line number
		ARG:	Probe argument (local variable name or
			kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.)

Changes in v4:
 - Add _GNU_SOURCE macro for strndup().

Changes in v3:
 - Remove -r option because perf always be used for online kernel.
 - Check malloc/calloc results.

Changes in v2:
 - Check synthesized string length.
 - Rename perf kprobe to perf probe.
 - Use spaces for separator and update usage comment.
 - Check error paths in parse_probepoint().
 - Check optimized-out variables.

Oops, I found it caused compilation error on gcc < 4.4 as below:

     CC builtin-trace.o
     CC builtin-probe.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
builtin-probe.c: In function 'parse_probepoint':
builtin-probe.c:109: error: implicit declaration of function 'strndup'
builtin-probe.c:109: error: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strndup'

Since I forgot to add _GNU_SOURCE...

[Dle-develop] [PATCH tracing/kprobes v3 6/7] perf: Add perf probe subcommand for kprobe-event setup helper

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Add perf probe subcommand for kprobe-event setup helper to perf command.
This allows user to define kprobe events by C expressions (C line numbers,
C function names, and C local variables).

Usage
-----
 perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...]

    -k, --vmlinux <file>  vmlinux/module pathname
    -P, --probe <p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@SRC]|@SRC:LINE [ARG ...]>
                          probe point definition, where
		p:	kprobe probe
		r:	kretprobe probe
		GRP:	Group name (optional)
		NAME:	Event name
		FUNC:	Function name
		OFFS:	Offset from function entry (in byte)
		SRC:	Source code path
		LINE:	Line number
		ARG:	Probe argument (local variable name or
			kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.)

Changes in v3:
 - Remove -r option because perf always be used for online kernel.
 - Check malloc/calloc results.

Changes in v2:
 - Check synthesized string length.
 - Rename perf kprobe to perf probe.
 - Use spaces for separator and update usage comment.
 - Check error paths in parse_probepoint().
 - Check optimized-out variables.

[Dle-develop] [PATCH tracing/kprobes v3 7/7] perf: perf probe command supports without libdwarf

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Enables 'perf probe' even if libdwarf is installed. If libdwarf is not found,
'perf probe' just disables dwarf support. Users can use 'perf probe' to set
up new events by using kprobe_events format.

[Dle-develop] [PATCH tracing/kprobes v3 5/7] tracing/kprobes: Rename fixed field name

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Rename probe-common fixed field name to the name harder conflictable,
because current 'ip', 'func', and other probe field names are easy to
conflict with user-specified variable names.

[Dle-develop] [PATCH tracing/kprobes v3 1/7] tracing/kprobes: Add $ prefix to special variables

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Add $ prefix to the special variables(e.g. sa, rv) of kprobe-tracer.
This resolves consistency issue between kprobe_events and perf-kprobe.

[Dle-develop] [PATCH tracing/kprobes v3 0/7] tracing/kprobes, perf: perf probe support take 3

[Masami H. <mhi...@re...>]

Hi,

These patches introduce 'perf probe' command and update kprobe-tracer.
perf probe command allows you to add new probe points by C line number
and local variable names.

This version fixes some bugs, remove -r option (because perf always be
used for online kernel) and rename kprobe-tracer special vars.

Usage
-----
 perf probe [<options>] -P 'PROBEDEF' [-P 'PROBEDEF' ...]

    -k, --vmlinux <file>  vmlinux/module pathname
    -P, --probe <p|r:[GRP/]NAME FUNC[+OFFS][@SRC]|@SRC:LINE [ARG ...]>
                          probe point definition, where
		p:	kprobe probe
		r:	kretprobe probe
		GRP:	Group name (optional)
		NAME:	Event name
		FUNC:	Function name
		OFFS:	Offset from function entry (in byte)
		SRC:	Source code path
		LINE:	Line number
		ARG:	Probe argument (local variable name or
			kprobe-tracer argument format is supported.)

Examples
--------
1) Add a new kprobe probe on a line of C source code.
./perf probe -P 'p:myprobe @fs/read_write.c:285 file buf count'
Adding new event: p:myprobe vfs_read+57 file=%bx buf=%si count=%ax

2) Add a new kretprobe probe on a function return.
./perf probe -P 'r:myretprobe vfs_read $retval'
Adding new event: r:myretprobe vfs_read+0 $retval

3) Check it in the perf list.
./perf list
...
  rNNN                                       [raw hardware event descriptor]

  kprobes:myprobe                            [Tracepoint event]
  kprobes:myretprobe                         [Tracepoint event]
  skb:kfree_skb                              [Tracepoint event]
...

4) Record the event by perf
./perf record -f -e kprobes:myprobe:record  -F 1 -a ls
...
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.081 MB perf.data (~3540 samples) ]

5) Trace the event
./perf trace
            perf-11445 [000] 95862.048894383: myprobe: (c04bbed5) file=dae15e80 buf=b78b2000 count=400
            perf-11445 [000] 95862.049066533: myprobe: (c04bbed5) file=dae15d80 buf=b78b2000 count=400
            perf-11445 [000] 95862.049134394: myprobe: (c04bbed5) file=dae15d80 buf=b78b2000 count=400
            perf-11445 [000] 95862.049171495: myprobe: (c04bbed5) file=dae15a80 buf=b78b2000 count=400

NOTE
----
 perf still fails to parse format if arguments have special charactors
(e.g. $retval, +16($stack) etc.) So, tracing myretprobe will fail with this
version. This will be solved by naming arguments automatically if it
doesn't have C-language name.

TODO
----
 - Support sys_perf_counter_open (non-root)
 - Input from stdin/output to stdout
 - 64-bits return value on x86-32
 - Static variable
 - Fields of data structures (var->field)
 - Type support
   - Bit fields
 - Array (var[N])
 - Dynamic array indexing (var[var2])
 - String/dynamic arrays (var:string, var[N..M])
 - Force Type casting ((type)var)
 - Non-inline search
 - libdw, libdwfl
 - etc.

Thank you,

Yeah, ok, then I'll leave this part in this series.
It's better to be done in another series.

Hmm, one big reason for separating local_vars
and others is that I'd like to check whether
perf-probe needs debuginfo or not.
If there is no local_vars, we don't need to
parse debuginfo. Sometimes, it is useful just
for setting up probe points.

> And @ can be used for raw addresses?

Yeah, but @ can be shared with symbols and raw addresses.
If the first char is digit, it's not a symbol.:-)

And also, @symbol actually has its syntax rule.:-)
its real syntax is:
@[MODULE:]SYMBOL[+OFFSET]
or
@ADDRESS (0xNN (base 16) or NN (base 10))

Perhaps, since perf-probe has another syntax rule,
I don't want to confuse users. :-P

This one looks good.
And why not turning @symbol into symbol?
Then it's up to perf probe to find the right
target.

And @ can be used for raw addresses?

Hrrmm...

I fear about future complains, but I may be somehow biased in
that my usual usecases of bash don't involve '$' characters to
protect, so it's not something I'm used to.

Whatever choice we make, there are either downsides in the prefix
self meaning, the collisions or the shell intrpretation.

Now you are two who prefer that, let's pick this one :)

OK, so here are syntax ideas

* current syntax
<Ftrace>
- $sp_var
- %regs
- @symbol
<Perf>
- local_var

* $local syntax
<Ftrace>
- sp_var
- %regs
- @symbol
<Perf>
- $local_var

* non $ syntax 1
<Ftrace>
- %sp_var
- %regs
- @symbol
<Perf>
- local_var

* non $ syntax 2
<Ftrace>
- %%sp_var or %@sp_var
- %regs
- @symbol
<Perf>
- local_var

So, which one do you like to use? :-)

Thank you,

I'm the one who started this trend.. Maybe putting all those tests in a
static .c file makes sense now, put them in a tests/ or checks/
directory though, so it doesn't litter the regular files.

Then again,.. the actual .c file is only half that line, so it doesn't
really clean up that much.

Just a coding preference, but still, I've seen too many mistakes (made
them myself too).

	if (strcmp(args[i].name, name) == 0)

Looks better as a match then

	if (!strcmp(args[i].name, name))

That stands out to me as a miss match. But this is still just a
preference and not something to make me argue the patch.

I saw that coming, I'd say leave it as is... :)

Also no need for cast
