Hi,
Here is the 2nd version of the series for adding new wprobe (watch probe)
which provides memory access tracing event. Moreover, this can be used
via event trigger. Thus it can trace memory access on a dynamically
allocated objects too.
This version fixes an unused static function error when
CONFIG_WPROBE_TRIGGERS=n. Also it allows modify_wide_hw_breakpoint() to
change compatible types. And make CONFIG_WPROBE_TRIGGERS a hidden
config (enable if possible.)
I introduced CONFIG_HAVE_REINSTALL_HW_BREAKPOINT because it allows
us to implement dependency of the feature which requires the
modify_wide_hw_breakpoint(), e.g. CONFIG_WPROBE_TRIGGERS.
So, the architecture which implement arch_reinstall_hw_breakpoint()
will enable HAVE_REINSTALL_HW_BREAKPOINT.
The basic usage of this wprobe is similar to other probes;
w:[GRP/][EVENT] [r|w|rw]@<ADDRESS|SYMBOL[+OFFS]> [FETCHARGS]
This defines a new wprobe event. For example, to trace jiffies update,
you can do;
echo 'w:my_jiffies w@jiffies:8 value=+0($addr)' >> dynamic_events
echo 1 > events/wprobes/my_jiffies/enable
Moreover, this can be combined with event trigger to trace the memory
accecss on slab objects. The trigger syntax is;
set_wprobe:WPROBE_EVENT:FIELD[+ADJUST]
clear_wprobe:WPROBE_EVENT
For example, trace the first 8 byte of the dentry data structure passed
to do_truncate() until it is deleted by __dentry_kill().
(Note: all tracefs setup uses '>>' so that it does not kick do_truncate())
# echo 'w:watch rw@0:8 address=$addr value=+0($addr)' > dynamic_events
# echo 'f:truncate do_truncate dentry=$arg2' >> dynamic_events
# echo 'set_wprobe:watch:dentry' >> events/fprobes/truncate/trigger
# echo 'f:dentry_kill __dentry_kill dentry=$arg1' >> dynamic_events
# echo 'clear_wprobe:watch' >> events/fprobes/dentry_kill/trigger
# echo 1 >> events/fprobes/truncate/enable
# echo 1 >> events/fprobes/dentry_kill/enable
# echo aaa > /tmp/hoge
# echo bbb > /tmp/hoge
# echo ccc > /tmp/hoge
# rm /tmp/hoge
Then, the trace data will show;
# tracer: nop
#
# entries-in-buffer/entries-written: 16/16 #P:8
