Hi,
I was trying to retrieve stack traces from tracepoint probe by modifying
offcputime.py
The original code is in blue and the changed code is in yellow.
//int oncpu(struct pt_regs *ctx, struct task_struct *prev) {
TRACEPOINT_PROBE(sched, sched_switch){
//u32 pid = prev->pid;
//u32 tgid = prev->tgid;
u32 pid = args->prev_pid, tgid;
u64 ts, *tsp;
// record previous thread sleep time
if ((THREAD_FILTER) && (STATE_FILTER)) {
ts = bpf_ktime_get_ns();
start.update(&pid, &ts);
}
// get the current thread's start time
//pid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid();
pid = args->next_pid;
tgid = bpf_get_current_pid_tgid() >> 32;
...
...
...
I also replaced 'ctx' with 'args'
kernel_stack_get = "stack_traces.get_stackid(args, BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID)"
user_stack_get = \
"stack_traces.get_stackid(args, BPF_F_REUSE_STACKID | BPF_F_USER_STACK)"
However, no stack traces, kernel/ user, were returned. Is it not possible to
get stack traces from tracepoint probes?
I came across this link:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/8747201/
Do we have any functions to access the pt_regs from tracepoint probes? I am
running the probes in kernel version 4.8.
Thanks,
Reena.
