[PATCH 2/2] tracing/kprobe: Add kprobe_event= boot parameter

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

 



Add kprobe_event= boot parameter to define kprobe events
at boot time.
The definition syntax is similar to tracefs/kprobe_events
interface, but use ',' and ';' instead of ' ' and '\n'
respectively. e.g.

  kprobe_event=p,vfs_read,$arg1,$arg2

This puts a probe on vfs_read with argument1 and 2, and
enable the new event.

+Kernel Boot Parameter
+---------------------
+You can add and enable new kprobe events when booting up the kernel by
+"kprobe_event=" parameter. The parameter accepts a semicolon-delimited
+kprobe events, which format is similar to the kprobe_events.
+The difference is that the probe definition parameters are comma-delimited
+instead of space. For example, adding myprobe event on do_sys_open like below
+
+  p:myprobe do_sys_open dfd=%ax filename=%dx flags=%cx mode=+4($stack)
+
+should be below for kernel boot parameter (just replace spaces with comma)
+
+  p:myprobe,do_sys_open,dfd=%ax,filename=%dx,flags=%cx,mode=+4($stack)
