Installs a probe on libc's inet_pton function, that will use uprobes, then use 'perf trace' on a ping to localhost asking for just one packet with the a backtrace 3 levels deep, check that it is what we expect. This needs no debuginfo package, all is done using the libc ELF symtab and the CFI info in the binaries. Testing it: # perf test ping 61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Ok In verbose mode: # perf test -v ping 61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : --- start --- test child forked, pid 1007 PING ::1(::1) 56 data bytes 64 bytes from ::1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.058 ms --- ::1 ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.058/0.058/0.058/0.000 ms 0.000 probe_libc:inet_pton:(7f75fce12a20)) __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.24.so) getaddrinfo (/usr/lib64/libc-2.24.so) _init (/usr/bin/ping) test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Ok # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-idrntt4nbg15aafu8hjmv7sk@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
