Hello,
This patchset implements memory (address), stack[N], deference, bitfield, retval (it needs uretprobe tho) and file_offset fetch methods for uprobes. It's based on the previous work [1] done by Hyeoncheol Lee.
Now kprobes and uprobes have their own fetch_type_tables and, in turn, memory and stack access methods. The symbol and file_offset fetch methods are only available to kprobes and uprobes, respectively. Other fetch methods are shared.
For the file_offset method, it translates the offset argument to a virtual address in a process. To do that, it calculates base mapping address using probe address (utask->vaddr) and probe offset (tu->offset) and then adds the argument offset. Those info are carried via utask and a new fetch parameter.
The syntax is '@+offset' where offset are relative address to the base address. For shared libraries, it'd be simply the st_value of symbol in ELF format. But for executable, it needs to subtract base load address (e.g. 0x40000 for x86_64) from the symbol value. Please see previous discussion for an example [2] - Note that the syntax changed to '@+' from plain '@'. The plain '@addr' syntax is used for accessing absolute memory address if you already know the exact address.
Many thanks to Oleg who provides valuable feedbacks and suggestions.
The patch 1-2 are bug fixes and can be applied independently. The patch 16 is a preparation for patch 17 which implements the file_offset fetch method.
* v8 changes: - rename tk, tu and tp more consistently (Srikar) - change prefix format specifier: %#x -> 0x%x (Masami) - convert file_offset_param to uprobe_dispatch_data (Oleg) - add more Ack's from Srikar and Masami
* v7 changes: - restructure patches not to break build with !CONFIG_[KU]PROBE_EVENT - print 0x prefix for unsigned types - add @+file_offset fetch method (Oleg) - get rid of uprobe_buffer_mutex (Oleg) - pass 'is_return' to uprobes argument parser

A simple example:
# cat foo.c int glob = -1; char str[] = "hello uprobe.";
struct foo { unsigned int unused: 2; unsigned int foo: 20; unsigned int bar: 10; } foo = { .foo = 5, };
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { long local = 0x1234;
return 127; }
# gcc -o foo -g foo.c
# objdump -d foo | grep -A9 -F '<main>' 00000000004004b0 <main>: 4004b0: 55 push %rbp 4004b1: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp 4004b4: 89 7d ec mov %edi,-0x14(%rbp) 4004b7: 48 89 75 e0 mov %rsi,-0x20(%rbp) 4004bb: 48 c7 45 f8 34 12 00 movq $0x1234,-0x8(%rbp) 4004c2: 00 4004c3: b8 7f 00 00 00 mov $0x7f,%eax 4004c8: 5d pop %rbp 4004c9: c3 retq
# nm foo | grep -e glob$ -e str -e foo 00000000006008bc D foo 00000000006008a8 D glob 00000000006008ac D str
# perf probe -x /home/namhyung/tmp/foo -a 'foo=main+0x13 glob=@0x6008a8:s32 \ > str=@+0x2008ac:string bit=@+0x2008bc:b10@2/32 argc=%di:s32 local=-0x8(%bp)' Added new event: probe_foo:foo (on 0x4c3 with glob=@0x6008a8:s32 str=@+0x2008ac:string bit=@+0x2008bc:b10@2/32 argc=%di:s32 local=-0x8(%bp))
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe_foo:foo -aR sleep 1
# perf record -e probe_foo:foo ./foo [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (~33 samples) ]
# perf script | grep -v ^# foo 2008 [002 2199.867154: probe_foo:foo (4004c3) glob=-1 str="hello uprobe." bit=0x5 argc=1 local=0x1234
This patchset is based on the current for-next branch of the Steven Rostedt's linux-trace tree. I also put this on my 'uprobe/fetch-v8' branch in my tree:
