similar to: Variable mpid - what is it?

Incase of multi-core systems where multiple threads maybe scheduled for execution, does the below dscript (from hotuser in DTraceToolkit) collect information for multiple libraries/functions that would be getting executed at a given point of time. I have been able to test it to check if it does or doesn''t. I assume it does. This was a query I have about profiling in general. #pragma D

I see Intel has released a new tool. Oh, it requires some patches to the kernel to record latency times. Good thing people don''t mind patching their kernels, eh? So who can write the equivalent latencytop.d the fastest? ;-) http://www.latencytop.org/ -- cburgess at qnx.com

I have a funny issue whereby when a application exits the proc:::exit probe doesn''t seem to be firing. A customer has written a dtrace script that outputs some info whenever proc:::exit fires but on occasion (random, no pattern in behaviour) dtrace exits without outputting the data. They are running dtrace via ''dtrace -s exit_trace.d -p <pid>'' Can anyone think

Boy am I a dummy. I want to simply dump out unfreed allocations when I terminate the script. What''s the secret sauce? #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s pid$1::MyAlloc:return { bufs[arg1] = walltimestamp; } pid$1::MyFree:entry /bufs[arg0]/ { bufs[arg0] = 0; } This message posted from opensolaris.org

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:

Folks, I came across an IPv6 snv_31 network driver problem during testing. I can "ping" an IPv6 address, but when I try and log on to the IPv6 address I get an RPC failure. Not knowing much about dtrace, I thought I would give some of the networking dtrace scripts a try that I found here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/dtracetoolkit/ (tcptop or any other script in the

Does anyone out there have any thoughts on the type of load common DTrace scripts would cause on a system if run 24x7? I know "common DTrace scripts" and their underlining probe calls a vague statement. So for the lack of a common and establish set of scripts in the OS, I''ll use the most popular right for my question...the DTraceToolkit from Brendan Gregg. Which by the

Hi My name is Shiv and I am student at IIIT-D ( http://www.iiitd.edu.in/ ) pursuing my undergrad education in Computer Science. I am currently in my final year. I am following the Xapian Gsoc guide ( https://trac.xapian.org/wiki/GSoC%20Guide#Mentoring). I have successfully checked out and built the code. I am trying out the python codes given at (

Hi, I am fairly new to DTrace, and wanted to ask something regarding synchronization objects. I have a multithreaded C++ program in which I use semaphores (POSIX version) for synchronization. I was interested in using DTrace to figure out the total time for which each thread in my application sleeps, blocked on a semaphore, i.e., as a result of sem_wait() call. In order to measure this, I

Dear all, bind cannot load zone files, i see the following in the log for all domains. i have tried with 777 to all zone files but does not make difference. main directories are also owned by named:named May 21 15:45:23 nsfo1 named-sdb[2482]: zone dot.com.gh/IN: loading from master file master/db.gh.com.dot failed: permission denied help would be very much appreciated Thanks

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.

We''re running a Solaris 10 container, with an Oracle 9.2.0.4 database - every 5-10 min, an Oracle process shoots up (using 20% + CPU) and then goes down in CPU %, doing a [i]pollsys [/i](see it via dtruss). I tried using some of the trace scripts in the Dtracetoolkit to see what the process is doing, but without any luck - also tried with the following, but dtrace process goes up to 30%

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

[1] Predicates in one-liners I would like to list the probe modules in my executable and then dynamically create a dscript to trace execution of those modules alone (by excluding the 3rd party and system libraries). I tried the below script without success. The conditional given in the predicate is not taking effect. Why is this so ? $ dtrace -ln ''pid$target:::
