linux.git/tools/perf/arch/xtensa/include, branch v4.9 Linux kernel source tree perf probe: Support probing on offline cross-arch binary 2016-09-01T15:41:09+00:00 Masami Hiramatsu mhiramat@kernel.org 2016-08-25T16:24:57+00:00 293d5b43948309434568f4dcbb36cce4c3c51bd5 Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for the machine.

Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting
the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for
the machine.

Here is an example:
  -----
  $ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params'
  p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16
  -----

Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target
machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).
