Also, you don't need all those parenthesis. } while (!child_detached && ret < 0 && errno == EINTR); -- Steve > + > + if (child_detached) > + exit(0); > + else if (rc == pid) > + exit(WIFEXITED(status)); > + else > + die("daemonize: waitpid failed"); > + > + __builtin_unreachable(); > + } > +} > + > +static void daemonize_finish(void) > +{ > + /* > + * setsid() will also set the sid to be the pgid to all currently > + * running threads in the process group (such as the tsync thread). > + */ > + if (setsid() == -1) > + die("daemonize: setsid"); > + > + if (kill(getppid(), SIGRTMIN) == -1) > + die("daemonize: kill"); > +} > + > static void trace_or_sleep(enum trace_type type, bool pwait) > { > int i; > @@ -1748,6 +1853,9 @@ static void run_cmd(enum trace_type type, const char *user, int argc, char **arg > > execute_program(argc, argv); > } > + > + if (do_daemonize) > + daemonize_finish(); > if (fork_process) > exit(0); > if (do_ptrace) { > @@ -5790,6 +5898,7 @@ enum { > OPT_proxy = 261, > OPT_temp = 262, > OPT_notimeout = 264, > + OPT_daemonize = 265, > }; > > void trace_stop(int argc, char **argv) > @@ -6217,6 +6326,7 @@ static void parse_record_options(int argc, > {"file-version", required_argument, NULL, OPT_file_ver}, > {"proxy", required_argument, NULL, OPT_proxy}, > {"temp", required_argument, NULL, OPT_temp}, > + {"daemonize", no_argument, NULL, OPT_daemonize}, > {NULL, 0, NULL, 0} > }; > > @@ -6690,6 +6800,11 @@ static void parse_record_options(int argc, > die("--fork option used for 'start' command only"); > fork_process = true; > break; > + case OPT_daemonize: > + if (!IS_RECORD(ctx)) > + die("--daemonize option used for 'record' command only"); > + do_daemonize = true; > + break; > case OPT_tsc2nsec: > ret = get_tsc_nsec(&ctx->tsc2nsec.shift, > &ctx->tsc2nsec.mult); > @@ -6933,6 +7048,9 @@ static void record_trace(int argc, char **argv, > struct buffer_instance *instance; > struct filter_pids *pid; > > + if (do_daemonize) > + daemonize_start(); > + > /* > * If top_instance doesn't have any plugins or events, then > * remove it from being processed. > @@ -7051,8 +7169,15 @@ static void record_trace(int argc, char **argv, > } > } > } > - /* sleep till we are woken with Ctrl^C */ > - printf("Hit Ctrl^C to stop recording\n"); > + > + if (do_daemonize) { > + daemonize_finish(); > + printf("Send SIGINT to pid %d to stop recording\n", getpid()); > + } else { > + /* sleep till we are woken with Ctrl^C */ > + printf("Hit Ctrl^C to stop recording\n"); > + } > + > for_all_instances(instance) { > /* If an instance is not tracing individual processes > * or there is an error while waiting for a process to > diff --git a/tracecmd/trace-usage.c b/tracecmd/trace-usage.c > index ecb7cad..45cb4f0 100644 > --- a/tracecmd/trace-usage.c > +++ b/tracecmd/trace-usage.c > @@ -81,6 +81,7 @@ static struct usage_help usage_help[] = { > " available algorithms can be listed with trace-cmd list -c\n" > " --proxy vsocket to reach the agent.
