tracing/uprobes: Add @+file_offset fetch method

2014-01-03T01:57:05+00:00

Enable to fetch data from a file offset.  Currently it only supports
fetching from same binary uprobe set.  It'll translate the file offset
to a proper virtual address in the process.

The syntax is "@+OFFSET" as it does similar to normal memory fetching
(@ADDR) which does no address translation.

tracing/uprobes: Add support for full argument access methods

2014-01-03T01:56:21+00:00

Enable to fetch other types of argument for the uprobes.  IOW, we can
access stack, memory, deref, bitfield and retval from uprobes now.

The format for the argument types are same as kprobes (but @SYMBOL
type is not supported for uprobes), i.e:

  @ADDR   : Fetch memory at ADDR
  $stackN : Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0)
  $stack  : Fetch stack address
  $retval : Fetch return value
  +|-offs(FETCHARG) : Fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address

Note that the retval only can be used with uretprobes.

tracing/probes: Implement 'memory' fetch method for uprobes

2014-01-02T21:17:43+00:00

Use separate method to fetch from memory.  Move existing functions to
trace_kprobe.c and make them static.  Also add new memory fetch
implementation for uprobes.

tracing/probes: Add fetch{,_size} member into deref fetch method

2014-01-02T21:17:42+00:00

The deref fetch methods access a memory region but it assumes that
it's a kernel memory since uprobes does not support them.

Add ->fetch and ->fetch_size member in order to provide a proper
access methods for supporting uprobes.

tracing/probes: Move 'symbol' fetch method to kprobes

2014-01-02T21:17:41+00:00

Move existing functions to trace_kprobe.c and add NULL entries to the
uprobes fetch type table.  I don't make them static since some generic
routines like update/free_XXX_fetch_param() require pointers to the
functions.

tracing/probes: Implement 'stack' fetch method for uprobes

2014-01-02T21:17:40+00:00

Use separate method to fetch from stack.  Move existing functions to
trace_kprobe.c and make them static.  Also add new stack fetch
implementation for uprobes.

tracing/probes: Split [ku]probes_fetch_type_table

2014-01-02T21:17:39+00:00

Use separate fetch_type_table for kprobes and uprobes.  It currently
shares all fetch methods but some of them will be implemented
differently later.

This is not to break build if [ku]probes is configured alone (like
!CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT and CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT).  So I added '__weak'
to the table declaration so that it can be safely omitted when it
configured out.

tracing/probes: Move fetch function helpers to trace_probe.h

2014-01-02T21:17:38+00:00

Move fetch function helper macros/functions to the header file and
make them external.  This is preparation of supporting uprobe fetch
table in next patch.

tracing/probes: Integrate duplicate set_print_fmt()

2014-01-02T21:17:38+00:00

The set_print_fmt() functions are implemented almost same for
[ku]probes.  Move it to a common place and get rid of the duplication.

tracing/probes: Fix basic print type functions

2014-01-02T21:17:24+00:00

The print format of s32 type was "ld" and it's casted to "long".  So
it turned out to print 4294967295 for "-1" on 64-bit systems.  Not
sure whether it worked well on 32-bit systems.

Anyway, it doesn't need to have cast argument at all since it already
casted using type pointer - just get rid of it.  Thanks to Oleg for
pointing that out.

And print 0x prefix for unsigned type as it shows hex numbers.
