I have found that pid provider can not create memcpy:return probe for 64bit process on snv_110. For example, the pid is 10603, I will have following output for dtrace command: #dtrace -n pid10603:libc.so.1:memcpy:return dtrace: invalid probe specifier pid10603:libc.so.1:memcpy:return: probe description pid10603:libc.so.1:memcpy:return does not match any probes This just

Hi, I would like to know why dtrace -l |grep plockstat show plockstat28099 lines. Process with pid 28099 is a java process. Why can I not examine other processes with the plockstat provider? Is it a java startup option? Regards Hans -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

...(small) chance the records are complete enough that dtrace could use the debug records from the system libraries, and in principle any library with the right information available.

Tracers, Good news! The Solaris Dynamic Tracing Guide has entered the participation age at last and has been converted into wiki format. The new and shiny guide can be found at: http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace/Documentation The guide has fallen behind with developments in DTrace since it was first released and needs some revising and some bug fixing as well. However, now that it''s

Tracing Fans, I know it''s been a long time in coming but the CPU Performance Counter (CPC) provider is almost here! The code is currently in for review and a proposed architecture document is attached here for review. Any and all feedback/questions on the proposed implementation is welcome. Thanks. Jon. -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text

Hello all, I have been taking basic steps with DTrace and subscribed today to this list. I have written a simple DTrace script to trace all the function entry/exit from a given function: #pragma D option flowindent pid$1::*mysql_select*:entry { self -> start = vtimestamp ; } pid$1::*mysql_select*:return /self -> start/ { self -> start =0 ; } pid$1:::entry, pid$1:::return

...is fantastically useful for including prettied codes on my site with no additional work besides copy/pasting the code and defining its language. A few examples, along with the full amended (and somewhat messy) source code for those who are interested, are available from http://www.durham.ac.uk/i.w.haslam/Misc/Notebooks/textile_bc.html Is there interest in this? Would you like me to work this up into something suitable for inclusion in a future release? Any other comments on it? Regards, Iain Haslam.

DTraceToolkit has a dtrace script (Proc/pidpersec.d) that refers to a variable mpid as below profile:::tick-1sec { printf("%-22Y %8d %6d\n", walltimestamp, `mpid, pids); pids = 0; } Where is `mpid getting picked from (it isn''t declared anywhere else)? What does the character ` in `mpid signify? I do not see any reference to this variable in the dtrace

I''m using a fbt probe where I get a system call id as an argument, how do I look up the name of it? At the moment I''m post-processing the output using /etc/name/to_sysnum but that doesn''t feel right :) cheers, /Martin -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hi, Looking at some udp stuff on snv_57, and I noticed that mib:::udpInDatagrams no longer exists, has this been superceded by mib:::udpHCInDatagrams? From my understanding they represent the same counter, but I''m asking in case this is a bug. I noticed that there is still a reference to udpInDatagrams in the DTrace testsuite. - Fintan

Hi, Finally, the long promised CPU performance counter provider has arrived into Nevada build 109! For those that need an injection of excitement at the start of the week, you can check out some usage examples on my blog: http://blogs.sun.com/jonh/entry/finally_dtrace_meets_the_cpu Also, you can find a new section for the provider in the DTrace docs:

Scott James Remnant - Ubuntu Ted Haeger - Novell Gervase Markham - How to Destroy the Free Software Movemen Bastien Nocera - GNOME development and Fedora Barbie - Messagelabs and Perl Jonathan Riddell - KDE 4 and Kubuntu Dapper Richard Moore - IBM and Open Source Jonathan Haslam - DTrace .... and others. So if you can make it there, get in touch with either Lance ( lance at centos.org ) or me ( kbsingh at centos.org ). look forward to seeing you there. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq

I try to run tcptop in solaris 10 x86 with patch level 125101-04 and I get the following error /usr/include/sys/zone.h line 16: can''t find include file sys/tsol/label.h error. Is there a work around for this problem? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

All, With Jon Haslam''s exciting news about the DTrace doc wiki (if you haven''t seen it yet, make your way to http://wikis.sun.com/display/DTrace), and with some of the discussion with the Apple folks, I''m wondering if the time isn''t right for something of a DTrace summit, perhaps as...

I have been doing some profiling using the profile provider. I have a command that runs more slowly on the T1000 than it does on prior systems and I am trying to find out why. Using the profile provider at 1000 hz, and aggregating on the ustack output, I find that the same function appears at the top of the stack on both platforms, but on each there are specific instruction locations within

Hi. I would like to print out a field of a vnode, but the argument to the function is of type vnode_t **. If I set "this->vpp" to arg2 in an entry function to zfs_lookup(), I''d like to retrieve the value of one of the fields of *(this->vpp) in the return function. Something like the below (but the syntax below is not right): printf("zfs_lookup:

Hi all, We just got a shiny new T5440, and one of the first things I noticed (besides the insane number of hardware contexts), is that dtrace takes 30 seconds to a minute to fire up scripts with 5-6 probes, where our T5220 usually takes under a second. Shutdown is similar, though slightly faster. This is mostly annoying because it takes so long to attach that it''s hard to tell when

I''m trying to do some userspace tracing on a server-process with the pid provider. My problem is, that the only probes the pid-provider lists for the server-process (to which I attach dtrace with "-p nnnn") are coming from "ld.so.1". There''s not a single one from my modules. If I''m specifying "a.out" (or any of our shared-objects) as the
