similar to: Missing pid probes in OS X Python processes

I have a test program which has a call sequence of a(), b(), c(), d(). When I place a pid return probe on d(), I get a ustack that looks like this: a.out`d+0x19 a.out`b+0xd a.out`a+0xd a.out`main+0x3c a.out`_start+0x7a The c() method appears to be missing. I did some poking around and noticed that pid return probes

I am trying to integrate John Levon''s ustack() helper for Python into the upstream Python sources. The method for doing this on Solaris is to compile the phelper.d script containing the helper into an object file using "dtrace -G". dtrace on OS X does not have "dtrace -G", just "dtrace -h". This works fine for USDT probes, but I am at a loss on how to

As of patch 32953 dtrace support is in bleadperl (5.11.0). The probes are based on Alan Burlinson''s original blog post on the subject: http://blogs.sun.com/alanbur/date/20050909 By guarding the probes with PERL_SUB_*_ENABLED the performance hit is unmeasurable. All the necessary bits already existed in the wild. I just assembled them and made the necessary changes to

Hola, I am trying to isolate the memory leak I suspect in a mailman installation ? I found: http://blogs.sun.com/sanjeevb/date/200506 It gives an error: god at irt-smtp-02:~ 9:21am 65 # ./memleak.d 10312 dtrace: failed to compile script ./memleak.d: line 3: probe description pid10312:libc.so.1:malloc:entry does not match any probes I am on SunOS 5.10 Generic_127112-07 i86pc i386 i86pc Are

In Solaris 10 6/06, etc. I used to do things like pid$target::malloc:entry { ustack(); } and got stack traces from my application calling malloc as expected. In Solaris 10 8/07 I only see stack traces from functions inside libc calling a function called lmalloc() but not my malloc calls: ld.so.1`lmalloc ld.so.1`tsort+0xb4

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 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/ {

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''m pleased to pass along news that the Mac OS X DTrace port has been updated in 10.5.3 to fix the issue that caused timer based probes not to fire in the presence of certain untraceable applications. http://blogs.sun.com/ahl/entry/apple_updates_dtrace A big thank you to the folks at Apple for addressing the problem.

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

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 am trying to install samba 4.5.1 from source, as a domain controller only, under Ubuntu 16.04, with ZFS filesystem (actually inside an lxd container with ZFS backing). Out-of-the-box, samba-tool domain provision does not like the filesystem: ERROR(<class 'samba.provision.ProvisioningError'>): Provision failed - ProvisioningError: Your filesystem or build does not support posix

Howdy, I am attempting to isolate the location of a memory leak in a 4GL program, and have hit a bit of a snag. When I LD_PRELOAD libumem and run the application server, "::findleaks -fdv" reports numerous leaks: CACHE LEAKED BUFCTL CALLER 0000000100b49068 15 0000000100ef2d50 fdcon+0x6c4 0000000100b50028 1 0000000100b72ac0 fdcon+0x6c4 0000000100b49068

Howdy, I was playing around with the malloc/free D script provided by Philip Beevers: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=4224&tstart=15 And decided to change the free:entry probe from: pid24169::free:entry / sz[arg0] / { printf("Freeing %p (size %d)\n", arg0, sz[arg0]); sz[arg0] = 0; } to: pid24169::free:entry / ! sz[arg0] / { printf("[ *

This is a semantic question. (I''m doing some technical writing about DTrace.) I''ll little confused about how to explain what an "action" is. By any definition, "trace(x);" is an action. However, what about just "i++;"? Looking at the DTrace guide page 76: "Probe actions are described by a list of statements separated by semicolons (;)

Hi , I have c++ server application in solaries 10 . Day by day memory usage is growing i try to find memory leaks with MDB and DTRACE and no leaks found. how can we find reason for growing memory , can we know which memory sigment is cause for growing memory usage Thanks in Advance.

Andrew, thank you for your help! Could a "Bus error" be related to a hardware problem? Never seen it before. Anyways, here is the output of my debugging session (I hope I did everything correctly): [root at server bin]# gdb --args python /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool dbcheck GNU gdb (GDB) Red Hat Enterprise Linux (7.2-75.el6) Copyright (C) 2010 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

As noted on my blog and at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/shells/ I''ve made available a DTrace provider for the Bourne shell. Before anyone starts yelling at me for not starting with another shell, read the blog I made explaining why we started with shell (link on the community page referenced above). For /bin/sh, I''ve put up something akin to a chapter in
