The way that execvp() routine works is by invoking execve syscall for every entry on the $PATH if command specified is neither absolute nor relative which can come across as a bit cryptic to untrained eyes. - absolute path example: # trace-cmd record -p function_graph \ -g __x64_sys_execve -O nofuncgraph-irqs \ -n __cond_resched --max-graph-depth 1 \ -F /usr/bin/echo "ftrace" > /dev/null # trace-cmd report echo-172994 [000] 185539.798539: funcgraph_entry: ! 803.376 us | __x64_sys_execve(); - PATH-dependent path example: # trace-cmd record -p function_graph \ -g __x64_sys_execve -O nofuncgraph-irqs \ -n __cond_resched --max-graph-depth 1 \ -F echo "ftrace" > /dev/null # trace-cmd report echo-172656 [002] 185009.671586: funcgraph_entry: ! 288.732 us | __x64_sys_execve(); echo-172656 [002] 185009.671879: funcgraph_entry: ! 158.337 us | __x64_sys_execve(); echo-172656 [002] 185009.672042: funcgraph_entry: ! 161.843 us | __x64_sys_execve(); echo-172656 [002] 185009.672207: funcgraph_entry: ! 157.656 us | __x64_sys_execve(); echo-172656 [002] 185009.672369: funcgraph_entry: ! 156.343 us | __x64_sys_execve(); echo-172656 [002] 185009.672529: funcgraph_entry: ! 863.629 us | __x64_sys_execve(); Open code the libc's execvp routine into trace-cmd so ftrace will only start recording once the command is found when it needs to be found in PATH.
