Thanks, that helped. However, this strbuf structure has a pointer and
I'd like to know what it points at. My guess this is also a user space
pointer, so I should use something like this:
printf("buf: %s\n", copyinstr((uintptr_t)ctlptr->buf, ctlptr->len));
but I get again an error like this:
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 2 (ID 6237: syscall::putmsg:return):
invalid address (0xffbfeeb800000000) in action #10 at DIF offset 64
Of course, I get similar error even without the copyinstr:
printf("buf: %s\n", stringof(ctlptr->buf));
dtrace: error on enabled probe ID 2 (ID 6237: syscall::putmsg:return):
invalid address (0xffbfeeb800000000) in action #10
I've moved the printf call to the system call return section, but no
lock. The value of ctlptr->buf is 0x0000000b (which is slightly
suspicious, because it's quite low number). Should the printf above
work or does the pointer has wrong value?
