[RFC bpf-next 1/3] libbpf: support function name-based attach for uprobes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



kprobe attach is name-based, using lookups of kallsyms to translate
a function name to an address.  Currently uprobe attach is done
via an offset value as described in [1].  Extend uprobe opts
for attach to include a function name which can then be converted
into a uprobe-friendly offset.  The calcualation is done in two
steps:

- first, determine the symbol address using libelf; this gives us
  the offset as reported by objdump; then, in the case of local
  functions
- subtract the base address associated with the object, retrieved
  from ELF program headers.

The resultant value is then added to the func_offset value passed
in to specify the uprobe attach address.  So specifying a func_offset
of 0 along with a function name "printf" will attach to printf entry.

The modes of operation supported are to attach to a local function
in a binary - function "foo1" in /usr/bin/foo - or to attach to
a library function in a shared object - function "malloc" in
/usr/lib64/libc.so.6.  Because the symbol table values of shared
object functions in a binary will be 0, we cannot attach to a
shared object function in a binary ("malloc" in /usr/bin/foo).
