Hi All, One of the customer is seeing the following error messages. He is using a S10U1 system with all latest patches. Dtrace script is attached. I am not seeing these error messages on S10U2 system. What could be the problem? Thanks, Gangadhar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rroberto at njengsunu60-2:~$ dtrace -AFs /lib/svc/share/kcfd.d dtrace:

Hi, I would like to know about which threads will be preempted by which on my OpenSolaris machine. Therefore, I ran a multithreaded program "myprogram" with 32 threads on my 24-core Solaris machine. I make sure that each thread of my program has same priority (priority zero), so that we can reduce priority inversions (saving preemptions -- system overhead). However, I ran the following

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

I am trying to use dtrace to trace all sscanf calls. I am able to use pid provider for this. But my application forks off children at times to handle requests. Is there a way I can stop the child process immediately after it is started so that I can attach a pid provider to that and trace the scanf calls in it? I have tried using the "create" probe but that did not help.

Hi, This is my first post on this forum so please use soft batons (-; I'm wondering if there is feature already in LLVM or clang to embed variable tracing instructions in the compiled output, so that on execution of the program, a dump of various variables values over time is generated. It's a little like the old unix program ctrace[1], but using LLVM, instead of rewriting C

Hello DTracers, The CPU caps project (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/rm/rctls/cpu-caps/) introduces kernel "wait queues" where threads may be placed to enforce caps. I would like to make this visible through DTrace and to add two new probes to the sched provider with the following semantics: cpucaps-sleep Probe that fires immediately before the current thread is placed on a

[Just starting out with DTrace and was hoping to get some guidance.] I have a "benchmark" program that I monitored with both prstat (prstat -mL -P <PID>) and pfilestat (from the DTrace toolkit). Prstat reports LAT values in the 0.1-0.2% range, but pfilestat reports "waitcpu" values in the 6-10%. Since those two numbers supposedly represent time waiting for the CPU,

G''Day Folks, I''ve found another use of dtrace, this makes your console keyboard sound like a typewriter. http://www.brendangregg.com/DTrace/typewriter-0.70.tar.gz I''ve only tested it on an UltraSPARC 5 and a Pentium laptop so far, more to follow. Ok, sorry, not actually a practical use of DTrace. :) Enjoy! Brendan [Sydney, Australia]

Dear dtrace Experts, I have seen some dtrace utilities like opensnoop and execsnoop etc. My interest is to write a simple script that can snoop the files which uses the 3 syscalls like open,create,unlink. I have gone through dtrace oneliners that can do the same : dtrace -n ''syscall::open*:entry { printf("%s %s",execname,copyinstr(arg0));}'' dtrace -n

Suppose I have a USDT probe in Firefox and that I''m trying to catch the startup with a probe like this: proc:::exec-success /execname == "firefox-bin"/ { start = timestamp; } and stop tracing when Firefox hits this USDT probe: mozilla:::main-entry { exit(0); } How do I put the running firefox-bin into "trace mode" so that my USDT probe fires? Thanks, Joel

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 have posted DTrace script to snoop tcp traffic and also provided a wrapper script for it to filter out unwanted traffic. http://blogs.sun.com/roller/comments/raviswam/Weblog/tcp_snoop_using_dtrace Please let me know if you have any feedback/comments on this. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am looking to measure how long a thread takes to migrate between cpu''s and how often , what I have is below which is checking just one process is this the correct track to be on here? My aim is to look at a process and look at upping the reboose_interval on some of our servers. #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s sched:::off-cpu { self->cpu = cpu; self->timestamp=timestamp; }

I''m interested in monitoring the amount of stack used by a multi-threaded program. I assume ''stackdepth'' built-in would be useful...but not sure. Been through demo''s, ToolKit, and internals..but it''s just not clicking for me yet. Not sure how to measure start/end of stack size dynamically...Anyone know how to break this down?

is there a way to place regular expressions on predicates like ~ in awk such that /execname ~ prog/ matches all executables with the ''prog'' substring? thanks. This message posted from opensolaris.org

i''m using the following probe to calculate how many bytes are being written by tcp write calls, by process and total: fbt:ip:tcp_output:entry { this->tcpout_size = msgdsize(args[1]); @tcpout_size[execname] = sum(this->tcpout_size); @tcpout_size["TOTAL_TCP_OUT"] = sum(this->tcpout_size); } I run this probe for N seconds. I suppose that if i get the

Hi, Is there a way to print out full path name of execname when the following probe is touched? proc:genunix:exec_common:exec-success Thanks. ************************************************ * C P Lin, Common Technology Project Lead. * * Sun Microsystems Inc. * * E-Mail: c.lin at sun.com * * Address: 4150 Network Circle,

Just adding a few more details to the previous mail so that I can avoid some trouble for you folks. 1. I have done a /execname != "dtrace"/ to avoid dtrace itself causing more syscalls to be fired. 2. I have also supressed the printing on the terminal which makes dtrace slower. And what happens is this: dtrace -qn ''syscall::read:entry /execname != "dtrace"/ {

Hi all, I am trying to write a D script which would print ustack() for every program in the system receiving SIGSEGV. All the stacks printed in trap()/sigtoproc() context do not have meaningful symbols. The following solves the problem to some degree but I''d much rather have a self-contained D script. dtrace -w -n ''fbt:genunix:sigtoproc:entry/arg2 == 11/ {
