kprobes: use _do_fork() in samples to make them work again

2015-10-02T01:42:35Z

Commit 3033f14ab78c ("clone: support passing tls argument via C rather than pt_regs magic") introduced _do_fork() that allowed to pass @tls parameter. The old do_fork() is defined only for architectures that are not ready to use this way and do not define HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS. Let's use _do_fork() in the kprobe examples to make them work again on all architectures.

bpf: fix build warnings and add function read_trace_pipe()

2015-08-12T23:39:12Z

There are two improvements in this patch: 1. Fix the build warnings; 2. Add function read_trace_pipe() to print the result on the screen; Before this patch, we can get the result through /sys/kernel/de bug/tracing/trace_pipe and get nothing on the screen. By applying this patch, the result can be printed on the screen. $ ./tracex6 ... tracex6-705 [003] d..1 131.428593: : CPU-3 19981414 sshd-683 [000] d..1 131.428727: : CPU-0 221682321 sshd-683 [000] d..1 131.428821: : CPU-0 221808766 sshd-683 [000] d..1 131.428950: : CPU-0 221982984 sshd-683 [000] d..1 131.429045: : CPU-0 222111851 tracex6-705 [003] d..1 131.429168: : CPU-3 20757551 sshd-683 [000] d..1 131.429170: : CPU-0 222281240 sshd-683 [000] d..1 131.429261: : CPU-0 222403340 sshd-683 [000] d..1 131.429378: : CPU-0 222561024 ...

ebpf: Allow dereferences of PTR_TO_STACK registers

tracing: Fix sample output of dynamic arrays

2015-07-17T18:15:13Z

He Kuang noticed that the trace event samples for arrays was broken: "The output result of trace_foo_bar event in traceevent samples is wrong. This problem can be reproduced as following: (Build kernel with SAMPLE_TRACE_EVENTS=m) $ insmod trace-events-sample.ko $ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sample-trace/foo_bar/enable $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace event-sample-980 [000] .... 43.649559: foo_bar: foo hello 21 0x15 BIT1|BIT3|0x10 {0x1,0x6f6f6e53,0xff007970,0xffffffff} Snoopy ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The array length is not right, should be {0x1}. (ffffffff,ffffffff) event-sample-980 [000] .... 44.653827: foo_bar: foo hello 22 0x16 BIT2|BIT3|0x10 {0x1,0x2,0x646e6147,0x666c61,0xffffffff,0xffffffff,0x750aeffe,0x7} ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The array length is not right, should be {0x1,0x2}. Gandalf (ffffffff,ffffffff)" This was caused by an update to have __print_array()'s second parameter be the count of items in the array and not the size of the array. As there is already users of __print_array(), it can not change. But the sample code can and we can also improve on the documentation about __print_array() and __get_dynamic_array_len().

bpf: BPF based latency tracing

2015-06-23T13:09:58Z

BPF offers another way to generate latency histograms. We attach kprobes at trace_preempt_off and trace_preempt_on and calculate the time it takes to from seeing the off/on transition. The first array is used to store the start time stamp. The key is the CPU id. The second array stores the log2(time diff). We need to use static allocation here (array and not hash tables). The kprobes hooking into trace_preempt_on|off should not calling any dynamic memory allocation or free path. We need to avoid recursivly getting called. Besides that, it reduces jitter in the measurement.

bpf: introduce current->pid, tgid, uid, gid, comm accessors

2015-06-15T22:53:50Z

eBPF programs attached to kprobes need to filter based on current->pid, uid and other fields, so introduce helper functions: u64 bpf_get_current_pid_tgid(void) Return: current->tgid << 32 | current->pid u64 bpf_get_current_uid_gid(void) Return: current_gid << 32 | current_uid bpf_get_current_comm(char *buf, int size_of_buf) stores current->comm into buf They can be used from the programs attached to TC as well to classify packets based on current task fields.
