There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type.

For example:

The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want:

echo 'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events

we will get the following trace log:

... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''}

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. "ustring" type is an alternative of string for user-space. diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace.c b/kernel/trace/trace.c index 6d7ef130f57e..c602081e64c8 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace.c @@ -5615,7 +5615,7 @@ static const char readme_msg[] = "\t $stack<index>, $stack, $retval, $comm,\n" #endif "\t +|-[u]<offset>(<fetcharg>), \imm-value, \"imm-string"\n" - "\t type: s8/16/32/64, u8/16/32/64, x8/16/32/64, string, symbol,\n" + "\t type: s8/16/32/64, u8/16/32/64, x8/16/32/64, char, string, symbol,\n" "\t b<bit-width>@<bit-offset>/<container-size>, ustring,\n" "\t <type>\[<array-size>\]\n" #ifdef CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS diff --git a/kernel/trace/trace_probe.c b/kernel/trace/trace_probe.c index bb2f95d7175c..ae8d479e94aa 100644 --- a/kernel/trace/trace_probe.c +++ b/kernel/trace/trace_probe.c @@ -50,6 +50,7 @@ DEFINE_BASIC_PRINT_TYPE_FUNC(x8, u8, "0x%x") DEFINE_BASIC_PRINT_TYPE_FUNC(x16, u16, "0x%x") DEFINE_BASIC_PRINT_TYPE_FUNC(x32, u32, "0x%x") DEFINE_BASIC_PRINT_TYPE_FUNC(x64, u64, "0x%Lx") +DEFINE_BASIC_PRINT_TYPE_FUNC(char, u8, "'%c'")
