With this series, user can add new events on the entry and exit of kernel functions (which can be ftraced). Unlike kprobe events, the fprobe events can only probe the function entry and exit, the IP address will have some offsets from the symbol address. And it can only trace the function args, return value, and stacks. (no registers) The fprobe events syntax is here; f[:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION [FETCHARGS] f[MAXACTIVE][:[GRP/][EVENT]] FUNCTION%return [FETCHARGS] E.g. # echo 'f vfs_read $arg1' >> dynamic_events # echo 'f vfs_read%return $retval' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events f:fprobes/vfs_read_entry vfs_read arg1=$arg1 f:fprobes/vfs_read_exit vfs_read%return arg1=$retval # echo 1 > events/fprobes/enable # head -n 20 trace | tail # TASK-PID CPU# ||||| TIMESTAMP FUNCTION # | | | ||||| | | sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386420: vfs_read_entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386436: vfs_read_exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386451: vfs_read_entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386458: vfs_read_exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.386469: vfs_read_entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.386476: vfs_read_exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 sh-142 [005] ...1. 448.602073: vfs_read_entry: (vfs_read+0x4/0x340) arg1=0xffff888007f7c540 sh-142 [005] ..... 448.602089: vfs_read_exit: (ksys_read+0x75/0x100 <- vfs_read) arg1=0x1 Future works: - Trace multiple function entry/exit (wildcard). - Integrate it with the function graph tracer. - Use ftrace_regs instead of pt_regs and remove dependency of CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS. - Support (limited) register access via ftrace_regs. - Support fprobe event by perf probe. - Support entry data accessing from exit event. - Support BTF for trace arguments. This fprobe event may eventually replace the kprobe events for function entry and exit on some archs (e.g. arm64). Here's my current migration (kretprobe to fprobe) idea: Phase 1. introduce fprobe events. (THIS) Phase 2. introduce generic function graph shadow stack Phase 3. Replace the rethook with function shadow stack and use ftrace_regs in fprobe handlers. Phase 4. Extend this fprobe support to other archs. Even if kretprobe event is replaced with fprobe event, tracefs user can transparently use fprobe events for function entry/exit with 'p:...' and 'r:...' syntax (for backward compatibility.)
