[PATCH 6/9] tracing/kprobes: Add bitfield type

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Feb 07 2011 - 10:00:37 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Add bitfield type for tracing arguments on kprobe-tracer. The syntax of
a bitfield type is:

b<bit-size>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>

e.g.

Accessing 2 bits-width field with 4 bits-offset in 32 bits-width data at
4 bytes offseted from the address pointed by AX register:

+4(%ax):b2@4/32

Since the width of container data depends on the arch, so I just added
the container-size at the end.

NAME=FETCHARG : Set NAME as the argument name of FETCHARG.
FETCHARG:TYPE : Set TYPE as the type of FETCHARG. Currently, basic types
- (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64) and string are supported.
+ (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), "string" and bitfield
+ are supported.

(*) only for return probe.
(**) this is useful for fetching a field of data structures.

+Types
+-----
+Several types are supported for fetch-args. Kprobe tracer will access memory
+by given type. Prefix 's' and 'u' means those types are signed and unsigned
+respectively. Traced arguments are shown in decimal (signed) or hex (unsigned).
+String type is a special type, which fetches a "null-terminated" string from
+kernel space. This means it will fail and store NULL if the string container
+has been paged out.
+Bitfield is another special type, which takes 3 parameters, bit-width, bit-
+offset, and container-size (usually 32). The syntax is;
+
+ b<bit-width>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>
