*	tracing: Fix kconfig warning due to a typo	Srikar Dronamraju	2012-05-08	1	-2/+20
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Commit f3f096cfe ("tracing: Provide trace events interface for uprobes") throws a warning about unmet dependencies. The exact warning message is: warning: (UPROBE_EVENT) selects UPROBES which has unmet direct dependencies (UPROBE_EVENTS && PERF_EVENTS) This is due to a typo in arch/Kconfig file. Fix similar typos in the uprobetracer documentation. Also add sample format of a uprobe event in the uprobetracer documentation as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu.

*	tracing: Provide trace events interface for uprobes	Srikar Dronamraju	2012-05-07	1	-0/+95
	Implements trace_event support for uprobes. In its current form it can be used to put probes at a specified offset in a file and dump the required registers when the code flow reaches the probed address. The following example shows how to dump the instruction pointer and %ax a register at the probed text address. Here we are trying to probe zfree in /bin/zsh: # cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/ # cat /proc/`pgrep zsh`/maps \| grep /bin/zsh \| grep r-xp 00400000-0048a000 r-xp 00000000 08:03 130904 /bin/zsh # objdump -T /bin/zsh \| grep -w zfree 0000000000446420 g DF .text 0000000000000012 Base zfree # echo 'p /bin/zsh:0x46420 %ip %ax' > uprobe_events # cat uprobe_events p:uprobes/p_zsh_0x46420 /bin/zsh:0x0000000000046420 # echo 1 > events/uprobes/enable # sleep 20 # echo 0 > events/uprobes/enable # cat trace # tracer: nop # # TASK-PID CPU# TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # \| \| \| \| \| zsh-24842 [006] 258544.995456: p_zsh_0x46420: (0x446420) arg1=446421 arg2=79 zsh-24842 [007] 258545.000270: p_zsh_0x46420: (0x446420) arg1=446421 arg2=79 zsh-24842 [002] 258545.043929: p_zsh_0x46420: (0x446420) arg1=446421 arg2=79 zsh-24842 [004] 258547.046129: p_zsh_0x46420: (0x446420) arg1=446421 arg2=79 Signed-off-by: Srikar Dronamraju <srikar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Acked-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@in.ibm.com> Cc: Jim Keniston <jkenisto@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Linux-mm <linux-mm@kvack.org> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@infradead.org> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org> Cc: Anton Arapov <anton@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20120411103043.GB29437@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>
