[RFC PATCH 4/4] tracing/probe: Support user-space dereference

From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Mon Feb 25 2019 - 09:07:07 EST


Support user-space dereference syntax for probe event arguments
to dereference the data-structure or array in user-space.

The syntax is just adding 'u' before an offset value.

+|-u<OFFSET>(<FETCHARG>)

e.g. +u8(%ax), +u0(+0(%si))

For example, if you probe do_sched_setscheduler(pid, policy,
param) and record param->sched_priority, you can add new
probe as below;

p do_sched_setscheduler priority=+u0($arg3)

Note that kprobe event provides this and it doesn't change the
dereference method automatically because we do not know whether
the given address is in userspace or kernel on some arch.

So as same as "ustring", this is an option for user, who has to
carefully choose the dereference method.
