i am doing reads and writes to /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s4 using dtrace to see how much time it took for ssdread and ssdwrite. It shows very small number 4 or 5. #pragma D option flowindent syscall::pread:entry { self->trace = 1; self->size = arg2; } syscall::pwrite:entry { self->trace = 1; self->size = arg2; } fbt:ssd:ssdread:entry /self->trace/ { self->start = timestamp;

OK, I''ve been fritzing around with something I noticed last night, thinking that I understood what was going on, but now it''s getting confusing again. A system that has been running for a couple of months had a hole in the probe ID list near the end in the middle of the fbt probes. And then a couple of syscall probes were stuck in the hole. It looked like this: ... 40311

Hi all, I have questions about something I observed just now: 1) on AMD64, S10u1: # dtrace -n ''fbt::copystr:entry{printf ("%p\n", args[0]);}'' -c /bin/pwd dtrace: invalid probe specifier fbt::copystr:entry{printf ("%p\n", args[0]);}: in action list: index 0 is out of range for fbt::copystr:entry args[ ] but # dtrace -n ''fbt::copystr:entry{printf

In order to get more information on IO performance problems I created the script below: #!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s #pragma D option flowindent syscall::*write*:entry /pid == $1 && guard++ == 0/ { self -> ts = timestamp; self->traceme = 1; printf("fd: %d", arg0); } fbt::: /self->traceme/ { /* elapsd =timestamp - self -> ts; printf("

If I use a simple dtrace script such as this: fbt::somefunc:entry{self->trace=1;} fbt::somefunc:return{self->trace=0;} fbt:::entry{} fbt:::return{printf("%lx", arg1);} then it will descend to whatever depth is necessary If I want to limit it to say 3 functions deep, how can I do that? The quick answer I want to use is to do "self->depth++" on each entry and then

Whilst trying out some D to get an insight into what is the most common reason for a given function to return, I have bumped into an error I don''t understand. The first take on what I was trying to do was: # dtrace -n ''fbt:ip:ip_input:return{@home[arg0] = count();}'' and all was well. The next step was: # dtrace -n

Hello, I do not know if i am facing a bug or a mistake (and if it is a bug i do = not know in which category I can put it on the bug tracker), so I post=20 my message here. I am trying to use the Morris function from the sensitivity package (but = that is not the problem). I created a (big) instruction that should=20 generate a morris object in which there is a data.frame i am interested=20

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%

I''m using DTrace''s anonymous tracing feature to trace through device drivers at boot time. With Solaris 10 Update 6 B5, I was unable to trace fbt based calls from the sd attach point. The error messages from the console are: NOTICE: enabling probe 0 (fbt::sdattach:entry) NOTICE: enabling probe 1 (fbt:::) NOTICE: enabling probe 2 (fbt::sdattach:return) NOTICE: enabling probe

I''m curious to know what files are being used from a NFS server perspective. I''m unable to trace the client because it is in the boot phase. Looking at the io provider, I believe it does not allow you to look at what files are being requested. That would lead me to the fbt provider. Does anyone know what fbt provides the file handle for NFS client request on the NFS

I have a sunw2100z (dual AMD) 2GB memory, I refresh installed nvx_35 on scsi disk (on board controller), then I enabled anon tracing fbt::xxx_attach:entry { self->trace = 1; } fbt::: /self->trace/ {} fbt::xxx_attach:return { self->trace = 0; } xxx_attach is HBA driver''s attach entry point. #dtrace -AFs xxx.d # reboot then reboot gives enabling probe 0.....

Hello all, I saw this question about a year back in the archive[1], but with no final answer. I would like to trace shmget calls and also get the id of the shared memory segment. That script looked like[2], but we dont get the id since arg1 is the errno value. How do i access the shm id, i would need this to debug a customer problem but i don''t have time to learn it the hard

We cannot run the zilstat utility (from http://www.richardelling.com/Home/scripts-and-programs-1/zilstat) on an Solaris 10 u9 / x86 installed according SUNWCreq (which is a core install) while it works fine on a similar config but installed with all packages (SUNWCXall) So we know it works in this environment but it seems we miss an essential package here. That causes the dtrace: failed to

Hey, Do you guys think that is a good idea to have a manual page for each provider with a complete description of what probes are offered ? Found some already under 7D category: dtrace dtrace (7d) - DTrace dynamic tracing facility fasttrap fasttrap (7d) - DTrace user instruction tracing provider fbt fbt (7d) - DTrace function boundary tracing provider

Hi i''m trying to write my first dtrace script apparently i bit off a bit more than i can chew, i want to track io over sockets, i found your socketsize.d that gave me how to track writes, but i''m at a loss how to track reads, frankly i don''t see how your write tracker works because it uses a probe in a function that only takes two arguments but you grab size of write

what is differenct between syscall::write:entry fbt::write:entry are the two probe fires at the same place. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Referring to the DTrace manual: "Module If this probe corresponds to a specific program location, the name of the module in which the probe is located. This name is either the name of a kernel module or the name of a user library. Function If this probe corresponds to a specific program location, the name of the program function in which the probe is located." and then ...

Is there a list anywhere of the DTrace FBT provider calls for each version of Solaris since the Nevada build that hosed the DTrace Toolkit. I have no issue with rewriting what I need, but I am hoping to stave off having to look at all the source code to find everything. I know there is a new provider under development, but I need to be able to program DTrace routines for all the updates in

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
