[PATCH v6 21/21] perf-probe: Add array argument support
From: Masami Hiramatsu
Date: Sat Mar 17 2018 - 08:54:00 EST
Since kprobes events support an array argument, perf-probe
can also support dumping array now.
The syntax are
<array-var>[<range>]
or
<pointer-var>[<range>]
where the <range> is <start>..<end>. e.g. array[0..5].
This can also be available with string type. In this
case, the string array should be "char *array[]" or
"char **array_ptr".
Note that this feature is only available on the kernel which
supports array type.

[NAME=]LOCALVAR|$retval|%REG|@SYMBOL[:TYPE]
-'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
+'NAME' specifies the name of this argument (optional). You can use the name of local variable, local data structure member (e.g. var->field, var.field2), local array with fixed index (e.g. array[1], var->array[0], var->pointer[2]) or range (e.g. array[1..4], var->array[0..2]), or kprobe-tracer argument format (e.g. $retval, %ax, etc). Note that the name of this argument will be set as the last member name if you specify a local data structure member (e.g. field2 for 'var->field1.field2'.)
'$vars' and '$params' special arguments are also available for NAME, '$vars' is expanded to the local variables (including function parameters) which can access at given probe point. '$params' is expanded to only the function parameters.
'TYPE' casts the type of this argument (optional). If omitted, perf probe automatically set the type based on debuginfo (*). Currently, basic types (u8/u16/u32/u64/s8/s16/s32/s64), hexadecimal integers (x/x8/x16/x32/x64), signedness casting (u/s), "string" and bitfield are supported. (see TYPES for detail)
On x86 systems %REG is always the short form of the register: for example %AX. %RAX or %EAX is not valid.
