As -yy parser, compared to -y, needs to do at least 5 extra syscalls (getxattr, socket, sendmsg, recvmsg, close) to print socket details, caching results of netlink conversations between strace and kernel noticeably reduces amount of system time spent by strace. The caching is safe since sockets do not change their addresses after successful bind or connect syscall. * defs.h (string_quote, print_sockaddr_by_inode_cached): New prototypes. * socketutils.c (cache_entry): New type. (CACHE_SIZE, CACHE_MASK): New macros. (cache): New static array. (cache_and_print_inode_details): New static function. (print_sockaddr_by_inode_cached): New function. (inet_parse_response, unix_parse_response): Use cache_and_print_inode_details. * util.c (printfd): Use string_quote and print_sockaddr_by_inode_cached. (string_quote): Remove static qualifier. * NEWS: Mention this improvement. * tests/unix-yy.c (main): Update.

|
|
===============================================
|
|
|
|
* Changes in behavior
|
|
* Some syscalls have different names depending on architecture and

|
|
syscalls on 64-bit architectures.

|
* When some data referenced by syscall arguments is irrelevant or cannot
|
|
be read from tracee's memory, strace now prints its address consistently.

|
|
shows the syscall name on architectures that expose this information.

|
|
inotify_init1, perf_event_open, pipe, pipe2, signalfd, signalfd4, socket,

|
|
|
|
* Improvements

|
|
rt_tgsigqueueinfo, perf_event_open.
|
|
* Enhanced decoding of recently added syscalls on non-x86 architectures
|
|
by replacing a bare decoder with elaborate parsers enabled earlier

|
|
Noteworthy changes in release 4.5.19 (2009-10-21)
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
* Changes in behavior
|
|
* When command exits, strace now exits with the same exit status.
|
|
If command is terminated by a signal, strace terminates itself
|
|
with the same signal, so that strace can be used as a wrapper
|
|
process transparent to the invoking parent process.
|
|
When using -p option, the exit status of strace is zero unless
|
|
there was an unexpected error in doing the tracing.
