                          Kprobe-based Event Tracing
                          ==========================
  
                   Documentation is written by Masami Hiramatsu
  
  
  Overview
  --------
  These events are similar to tracepoint based events. Instead of Tracepoint,
  this is based on kprobes (kprobe and kretprobe). So it can probe wherever
  kprobes can probe (this means, all functions body except for __kprobes
  functions). Unlike the Tracepoint based event, this can be added and removed
  dynamically, on the fly.
  
  To enable this feature, build your kernel with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENT=y.
  
  Similar to the events tracer, this doesn't need to be activated via
  current_tracer. Instead of that, add probe points via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events, and enable it via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/<EVENT>/enabled.
  
  
  Synopsis of kprobe_events
  -------------------------
    p[:[GRP/]EVENT] [MOD:]SYM[+offs]|MEMADDR [FETCHARGS]	: Set a probe
    r[:[GRP/]EVENT] [MOD:]SYM[+0] [FETCHARGS]		: Set a return probe
    -:[GRP/]EVENT						: Clear a probe
  
   GRP		: Group name. If omitted, use "kprobes" for it.
   EVENT		: Event name. If omitted, the event name is generated
  		  based on SYM+offs or MEMADDR.
   MOD		: Module name which has given SYM.
   SYM[+offs]	: Symbol+offset where the probe is inserted.
   MEMADDR	: Address where the probe is inserted.
  
   FETCHARGS	: Arguments. Each probe can have up to 128 args.
    %REG		: Fetch register REG
    @ADDR		: Fetch memory at ADDR (ADDR should be in kernel)
    @SYM[+|-offs]	: Fetch memory at SYM +|- offs (SYM should be a data symbol)
    $stackN	: Fetch Nth entry of stack (N >= 0)
    $stack	: Fetch stack address.
    $retval	: Fetch return value.(*)
    +|-offs(FETCHARG) : Fetch memory at FETCHARG +|- offs address.(**)
    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), "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>
  
  
  Per-Probe Event Filtering
  -------------------------
   Per-probe event filtering feature allows you to set different filter on each
  probe and gives you what arguments will be shown in trace buffer. If an event
  name is specified right after 'p:' or 'r:' in kprobe_events, it adds an event
  under tracing/events/kprobes/<EVENT>, at the directory you can see 'id',
  'enabled', 'format' and 'filter'.
  
  enabled:
    You can enable/disable the probe by writing 1 or 0 on it.
  
  format:
    This shows the format of this probe event.
  
  filter:
    You can write filtering rules of this event.
  
  id:
    This shows the id of this probe event.
  
  
  Event Profiling
  ---------------
   You can check the total number of probe hits and probe miss-hits via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_profile.
   The first column is event name, the second is the number of probe hits,
  the third is the number of probe miss-hits.
  
  
  Usage examples
  --------------
  To add a probe as a new event, write a new definition to kprobe_events
  as below.
  
    echo 'p:myprobe do_sys_open dfd=%ax filename=%dx flags=%cx mode=+4($stack)' > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  
   This sets a kprobe on the top of do_sys_open() function with recording
  1st to 4th arguments as "myprobe" event. Note, which register/stack entry is
  assigned to each function argument depends on arch-specific ABI. If you unsure
  the ABI, please try to use probe subcommand of perf-tools (you can find it
  under tools/perf/).
  As this example shows, users can choose more familiar names for each arguments.
  
    echo 'r:myretprobe do_sys_open $retval' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  
   This sets a kretprobe on the return point of do_sys_open() function with
  recording return value as "myretprobe" event.
   You can see the format of these events via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/<EVENT>/format.
  
    cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/myprobe/format
  name: myprobe
  ID: 780
  format:
          field:unsigned short common_type;       offset:0;       size:2; signed:0;
          field:unsigned char common_flags;       offset:2;       size:1; signed:0;
          field:unsigned char common_preempt_count;       offset:3; size:1;signed:0;
          field:int common_pid;   offset:4;       size:4; signed:1;
  
          field:unsigned long __probe_ip; offset:12;      size:4; signed:0;
          field:int __probe_nargs;        offset:16;      size:4; signed:1;
          field:unsigned long dfd;        offset:20;      size:4; signed:0;
          field:unsigned long filename;   offset:24;      size:4; signed:0;
          field:unsigned long flags;      offset:28;      size:4; signed:0;
          field:unsigned long mode;       offset:32;      size:4; signed:0;
  
  
  print fmt: "(%lx) dfd=%lx filename=%lx flags=%lx mode=%lx", REC->__probe_ip,
  REC->dfd, REC->filename, REC->flags, REC->mode
  
   You can see that the event has 4 arguments as in the expressions you specified.
  
    echo > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events
  
   This clears all probe points.
  
   Or,
  
    echo -:myprobe >> kprobe_events
  
   This clears probe points selectively.
  
   Right after definition, each event is disabled by default. For tracing these
  events, you need to enable it.
  
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/myprobe/enable
    echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kprobes/myretprobe/enable
  
   And you can see the traced information via /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace.
  
    cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

   Each line shows when the kernel hits an event, and <- SYMBOL means kernel
  returns from SYMBOL(e.g. "sys_open+0x1b/0x1d <- do_sys_open" means kernel
  returns from do_sys_open to sys_open+0x1b).
