In such cases you should show it in action, like I am doing now to test this patch: [root@jouet ~]# perf probe --outdir=my_probes do_open kprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild kernel with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS. Error: Failed to add events. [root@jouet ~]# Oops, misleading error message, probably I need to first do a mkdir: [root@jouet ~]# mkdir my_probes [root@jouet ~]# perf probe --outdir=my_probes do_open Added new event: probe:do_open (on do_open) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:do_open -aR sleep 1 [root@jouet ~]# ls -la my_probes total 12 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 24 09:47 . dr-xr-x---. 31 root root 4096 Aug 24 09:47 .. -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 30 Aug 24 09:47 kprobe_events [root@jouet ~]# cat my_probes/kprobe_events p:probe/do_open _text+3481584 [root@jouet ~]# Wouldn't it be better to call it some other name and imply --dry-run? "outdir" seems too vague. Perhaps --definition and instead have it run like: # perf probe --definition do_open p:probe/do_open _text+3481584 # Then one could even use it to redirect it to a file, tee + file and even test it as: # perf probe --definition do_open > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events # For debugging: # perf probe --definition do_open | tee /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events :-) I picked "--kprobes" first, but that would left out e.g. uprobes, then I thought about --event, but also sounds vague, read Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt and saw this bit: ------- Usage examples -------------- To add a probe as a new event, write a new definition to kprobe_events as below. echo 'p:myprobe do_sys_open dfd=%ax filename=%dx flags=%cx mode=+4($stack)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events ------- So you used "definition" for that string, might as well be consistent and use it here as well. Also please fix the OPT_STRING string, it should start with a capital letter: --max-probes <n> Set how many probe points can be found for a probe. --no-inlines Don't search inlined functions --outdir <directory> path to offline output directory --range Show variables location range in scope (with --vars only) See how it stands out? All the others start with a capital letter. I applied the first patch, totally trivial. - Arnaldo > Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <mhira...@kernel.org> > --- > tools/perf/builtin-probe.c | 2 ++ > tools/perf/util/probe-event.h | 1 + > tools/perf/util/probe-file.c | 19 ++++++++++++++++--- > 3 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-probe.c b/tools/perf/builtin-probe.c > index ee5b421..5b45ec8 100644 > --- a/tools/perf/builtin-probe.c > +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-probe.c > @@ -517,6 +517,8 @@ __cmd_probe(int argc, const char **argv, const char > *prefix __maybe_unused) > "Show variables location range in scope (with --vars only)"), > OPT_STRING('k', "vmlinux", &symbol_conf.vmlinux_name, > "file", "vmlinux pathname"), > + OPT_STRING(0, "outdir", &probe_conf.output_dir, > + "directory", "path to offline output directory"), > OPT_STRING('s', "source", &symbol_conf.source_prefix, > "directory", "path to kernel source"), > OPT_BOOLEAN('\0', "no-inlines", &probe_conf.no_inlines, > diff --git a/tools/perf/util/probe-event.h b/tools/perf/util/probe-event.h > index f4f45db..75b572a 100644 > --- a/tools/perf/util/probe-event.h > +++ b/tools/perf/util/probe-event.h > @@ -14,6 +14,7 @@ struct probe_conf { > bool no_inlines; > bool cache; > int max_probes; > + const char *output_dir; > }; > extern struct probe_conf probe_conf; > extern bool probe_event_dry_run; > diff --git a/tools/perf/util/probe-file.c b/tools/perf/util/probe-file.c > index 6f931e4..41db430 100644 > --- a/tools/perf/util/probe-file.c > +++ b/tools/perf/util/probe-file.c > @@ -73,16 +73,25 @@ static void print_both_open_warning(int kerr, int uerr) > static int open_probe_events(const char *trace_file, bool readwrite) > { > char buf[PATH_MAX]; > + const char *tracing_dir = tracing_path; > + int oflag = 0; > + mode_t mode = 0; > int ret; > > + if (probe_conf.output_dir) { > + tracing_dir = probe_conf.output_dir; > + oflag = O_CREAT; > + mode = 0644; > + } > + > ret = e_snprintf(buf, PATH_MAX, "%s/%s", > - tracing_path, trace_file); > + tracing_dir, trace_file); > if (ret >= 0) { > pr_debug("Opening %s write=%d\n", buf, readwrite); > if (readwrite && !probe_event_dry_run) > - ret = open(buf, O_RDWR | O_APPEND, 0); > + ret = open(buf, O_RDWR | O_APPEND | oflag, mode); > else > - ret = open(buf, O_RDONLY, 0); > + ret = open(buf, O_RDONLY | oflag, mode); > > if (ret < 0) > ret = -errno; > @@ -242,6 +251,8 @@ int probe_file__add_event(int fd, struct > probe_trace_event *tev) > pr_warning("Failed to write event: %s\n", > str_error_r(errno, sbuf, sizeof(sbuf))); > } > + if (probe_conf.output_dir) > + ret = write(fd, "\n", 1) == 1 ? 0 : -errno; > } > free(buf); > > @@ -274,6 +285,8 @@ static int __del_trace_probe_event(int fd, struct > str_node *ent) > ret = -errno; > goto error; > } > + if (probe_conf.output_dir) > + ret = write(fd, "\n", 1) == 1 ? 0 : -errno; > > return 0; > error:
