linux-stable.git/kernel/trace/trace_probe_tmpl.h, branch v4.20.2 Linux kernel stable tree tracing: probeevent: Add array type support 2018-10-11T02:19:10+00:00 Masami Hiramatsu mhiramat@kernel.org 2018-04-25T12:21:55+00:00 40b53b771806b1770837169cd32d1bf167fbccaf Add array type support for probe events. This allows user to get arraied types from memory address. The array type syntax is TYPE[N] Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64, x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less than 64. The string array type is a bit different from other types. For other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type> (e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array", but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example, +0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

Add array type support for probe events.
This allows user to get arraied types from memory address.
The array type syntax is

	TYPE[N]

Where TYPE is one of types (u8/16/32/64,s8/16/32/64,
x8/16/32/64, symbol, string) and N is a fixed value less
than 64.

The string array type is a bit different from other types. For
other base types, <base-type>[1] is equal to <base-type>
(e.g. +0(%di):x32[1] is same as +0(%di):x32.) But string[1] is not
equal to string. The string type itself represents "char array",
but string array type represents "char * array". So, for example,
+0(%di):string[1] is equal to +0(+0(%di)):string.

tracing: probeevent: Return consumed bytes of dynamic area 2018-10-11T02:19:08+00:00 Masami Hiramatsu mhiramat@kernel.org 2018-04-25T12:19:01+00:00 9178412ddf5a98feba0ad3986111c5ad10eb9e59 Cleanup string fetching routine so that returns the consumed bytes of dynamic area and store the string information as data_loc format instead of data_rloc.

tracing: probeevent: Introduce new argument fetching code 2018-10-11T02:19:07+00:00 Masami Hiramatsu mhiramat@kernel.org 2018-04-25T12:18:03+00:00 533059281ee594f9fbb9e58042aaec77083ef251 Replace {k,u}probe event argument fetching framework with switch-case based. Currently that is implemented with structures, macros and chain of function-pointers, which is more complicated than necessary and may get a performance penalty by retpoline. This simplify that with an array of "fetch_insn" (opcode and oprands), and make process_fetch_insn() just interprets it. No function pointers are used.
