The 'perf probe' tool detects a variable's type and use the detected
type to add a new probe. Then, kprobes prints its variable in
hexadecimal format if the variable is unsigned and prints in decimal if
it is signed.
We sometimes want to see unsigned variable in decimal format (i.e.
sector_t or size_t). In that case, we need to investigate the variable's
size manually to specify just signedness.
This patch add signedness casting support. By specifying "s" or "u" as a
type, perf-probe will investigate variable size as usual and use the
specified signedness.
E.g. without this:
$ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
$ cat trace_pipe|head
dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096633: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d00
dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096685: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x1a3d80
dbench-9692 [003] d..1 971.096687: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=0x3a3d80
...
// need to investigate the variable size
$ perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s64)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
With this:
// just use "s" to cast its signedness
$ perf probe -v -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
$ cat trace_pipe|head
dbench-9689 [001] d..1 1212.391237: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=128
dbench-9689 [001] d..1 1212.391252: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=131072
dbench-9697 [006] d..1 1212.398611: submit_bio: (submit_bio+0x0/0x140) bi_sector=30208
This commit also update perf-probe.txt to describe "types". Most parts
are based on existing documentation: Documentation/trace/kprobetrace.txt
Committer note:
Testing using 'perf trace':
# perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
# trace --no-syscalls --ev probe:submit_bio

^C[root@jouet ~]#
Now, using this new feature:
[root@jouet ~]# perf probe -a 'submit_bio bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s'
Added new event:
probe:submit_bio (on submit_bio with bi_sector=bio->bi_iter.bi_sector:s)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:submit_bio -aR sleep 1
