How do I query an application to see if it supports any USDT probe points?

Hi, I''m posting a question hoping someone will know the answer off hand thereby reducing my search time. :-) With USDT probes, the tracepoint is only installed by libdtrace itself, never by the drti ioctl. So whenever I run a program with an USDT probe, no tracepoint is installed. Only after I run the dtrace command the tracepoint is actually installed on the victim process. My question

Hi, As I''ve discussed before whenever we add USDT probes to a C++ function and call dtrace -l we get the mangled C++ name for the dtrace function, being listed :( Now the point of USDT probes is to abstract a higher level semantic construct for users to make use of. Surely it is not meant to be listing Unstable Interfaces (implementation details), such as the containing C++

X.Org has adopted GNU autoconf as its build configuration mechanism, so when I integrated the dtrace probes, I checked to see if they should be built using this test, checking for the existence of a program named "dtrace" in the path: dnl Check for dtrace program (needed to build Xserver dtrace probes) AC_ARG_WITH(dtrace, AS_HELP_STRING([--with-dtrace=PATH], [Enable dtrace

Hey, Im able to reproduce a crash from plockstat everytime Im tracing a JVM pid. I do recall a problem related with this one, but not clear if this has been fixed in U3 or is it planned for U4 ?

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:

In the context of support not only IFunc but DTrace, what kind of features do you want to add to lld, if you have a chance to implement it in the linker instead of a post-processing tool? I wonder if we can solve both of your problems. On Thu, Aug 23, 2018 at 1:33 AM Mark Johnston <markj at freebsd.org> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 22, 2018 at 10:11:00AM -0400, Ed Maste wrote: > > On 22

Hi, I am adding DTrace probes within NFS v3 client. In my current implementation, I use some tsd_*() functions and kmem_zalloc() function. These functions might be heavy and affect the performance. I want to call this function only when DTrace is running or the DTrace probes are enable. So is there a way to check DTrace is running or DTrace probe is enabled? Regards, Danhua

Hi, Is there a specific reason the DTRACEHIOC_REMOVE ioctl is deprecated? I found I needed to use it in my Perl USDT provider code[*], which creates providers dynamically at runtime. I wonder if I''m missing a better way of doing the same thing. The situation I''m handling with the remove operation is killing and recreating a perl interpreter in the same process, which

Hi All, I''ve got a problem when I have USDT probes in a static library and in the application code outside of the library. I build the static library containing some USDT probes, glomming everything together (ld -r) before creating the .a file to preserve the probe symbols. This all works fine. I build an application which also has some USDT probes. When I build the application which

I''m trying to time a function within Firefoxwith a pid$target probe [2]. e.g dtrace -Zqw -x dynvarsize=64m -x evaltime=preinit -p 13954 -s menu- construct.d -s sigcont.d elapsed: 12.7942481ms cpu : 7.7911194ms count : 40 times I''m also measuring Firefox startup time by running it arguments like this: ... file:///Users/joelr/work/mozilla/startup/startup.html#`python

Hi - I''m trying to use plockstat to help identify any mutex contention issues we may have in our c++ app. >From the docs it would appear to be a very useful tool - unfortunately in practice this doesn''t bear out purely because the stack traces produced are limited to being 39/40 characters wide. In general this means that I''m not seeing ~75% of each stack symbol and

Hi people, When working with some usdt C++ probes we have come across a few issues. Controlling USDT Function name: Putting in usdt probes into C++ code gives you the mangled enclosing function name for the probes Function name. Working around this can be a pain. You need to wrap your usdt probes in extern C functions and call these. Could we have an option to control the Function name for

I added a couple of static probes to Firefox to measure actual work done. I could have used a pid$target probe with a function name but work is done within an if statement, which is where I placed the static probes. I''m wondering about my use, though. Is the following significantly more efficient than pid$target::FunName:entry and return? I heard somewhere that $target does not

Hello, If I release a new kernel module, do I need to release a SDT provider with it? Just like what "mdb" does - a mdb module together with the associated kernel module. Is it a "MUST" or a "OPTION"? Also what''s the requirement of USDT and user application? Is it encouraged or not to have many probes inside the code? Can I define my own

everyone, Just out of curiosity, I did a dtrace -n ''syscall:::entry { @num[execname, probefunc] = count(); }'' and looked at the entries produced by ''rm''. I see everything that rm did, *except* the unlinkat - which is unfortunate because I want to trace which processes have deleted which files. So - does dtrace contain unlinkat as a probe for a system call?
