* [PATCH V3 2/9] Move `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' to probe.c

  To: gdb

This patch moves the `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' functions
from stap-probe.c to probe.c.  The rationale is that it is reasonable to
assume that all backends will provide the `$_probe_argN' convenience
variables, and that the user must be placed on the PC of the probe when
requesting that information.  The value and type of the argument can still be
determined by the probe backend via the `pops->evaluate_probe_argument' and
`pops->compile_to_ax' handlers.

Note that a test in gdb.base/stap-probe.exp had to be adjusted because the "No
SystemTap probe at PC" messages are now "No probe at PC".

gdb/ChangeLog:

  2014-10-28  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

	* probe.c (compute_probe_arg): Moved from stap-probe.c
	(compile_probe_arg): Likewise.
	(probe_funcs): Likewise.
	* stap-probe.c (compute_probe_arg): Moved to probe.c.
	(compile_probe_arg): Likewise.
	(probe_funcs): Likewise.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

  2014-10-28  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

	* gdb.base/stap-probe.exp (stap_test): Remove "SystemTap" from
	expected message when trying to access $_probe_* convenience
	variables while not on a probe.

  To: gdb

This patch adds the above-mentioned commands to the generic probe
abstraction implemented in probe.[ch].  The effects associated to
enabling or disabling a probe depend on the type of probe being
handled, and is triggered by invoking two back-end hooks in
`probe_ops'.

In case some particular probe type does not support the notion of
enabling and/or disabling, the corresponding fields on `probe_ops' can
be initialized to NULL.  This is the case of SystemTap probes.

gdb/ChangeLog:

  2014-10-28  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

    	* stap-probe.c (stap_probe_ops): Add NULLs in the static
    	stap_probe_ops for `enable_probe' and `disable_probe'.
    	* probe.c (enable_probes_command): New function.
    	(disable_probes_command): Likewise.
    	(_initialize_probe): Define the cli commands `enable probe' and
    	`disable probe'.
    	(parse_probe_linespec): New function.
    	(info_probes_for_ops): Use parse_probe_linespec.
    	* probe.h (probe_ops): New hooks `enable_probe' and
    	`disable_probe'.

gdb/doc/ChangeLog:

  2014-10-28  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

  	* gdb.texinfo (Static Probe Points): Cover the `enable probe' and
	  `disable probe' commands.

From: Jose E. Marchesi @ 2014-10-28 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gdb

This patch adds a new type of probe to GDB: the DTrace USDT probes.  The new
type is added by providing functions implementing all the entries of the
`probe_ops' structure defined in `probe.h'.  The implementation is
self-contained and does not depend on DTrace source code in any way.

* [PATCH V3 0/9] Add support for DTrace USDT probes to gdb
@ 2014-10-28 13:44 Jose E. Marchesi
  2014-10-28 13:44 ` [PATCH V3 2/9] Move `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' to probe.c Jose E. Marchesi
                   ` (8 more replies)
  0 siblings, 9 replies; 15+ messages in thread
From: Jose E. Marchesi @ 2014-10-28 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gdb

[Changes from V2:
- (this time for real) simplified the phrasing in the
  documentation about that systemtap probes do not support "the notion
  of" disabling or enabling a probe.  Now it just says that stap
  probes cannot be disabled.
- Some other typos and improvements in the docs spotted by Eli.
- Fixed two implicit comparisons in gdb/probe.c.
- The args_expr_built field of the struct dtrace_probe is now an
  unsigned integer.
- Comments documenting enum entries and struct fields relocated to
  be on top of each item.
- Added a new column to the output of `info probes' that says the
  type of the probe: either stap or dtrace.
- Use read_code instead of read_memory when reading code to avoid
  bypassing the code cache.
- Avoid duplication of instruction sequences in amd64-linux-tdep.c.
- Make the amd64_dtrace_* functions in amd64-linux-tdep.c static,
  since they are not used anywhere else.
- dtrace-probe.c does not implement dummy versions of the
  set_semaphore and clear_semaphore anymore, as per the recent patch
  from Sergio.
- The DOF reader in dtrace-probe.c now checks that the encoding mark
  in the DOF header has a valid value.
- Use remote_exec instead of an "exec ..." to invoke tools on the host
  in the testcases.
- Do not generate files in the ${srcdir} in the testcases.
- The generation of programs with DTrace static probes has been
  factorized out in a new function in testsuite/lib/dtrace.exp:
  dtrace_build_usdt_test_program.
- A script called `pdtrace' has been added to the patch series.  It is
  a test tool that implements a subset of the functionality provided
  by the proprietary dtrace command: the generation of an ELF file
  containing an embedded dtrace program (equivalent to dtrace -G) and
  the generation of a header file with definitions for static probes
  (equivalent to dtrace -h).  This allows to generate DTrace static
  probes without having to use the user-level DTrace components.  The
  generated objects are 100% compatible with DTrace and can be traced
  by the dtrace kernel module like if they were generated by dtrace.
  dtrace_build_usdt_test_program will first try to use the real dtrace
  program and, if it is not found in the host system, will use pdtrace
  instead.]

This patch series introduces support in GDB for a new type of probe:
DTrace USDT probes.

The first three patches do some changes to the existing probe.[ch]
code, fixing some minor problems associated to support several probe
types, having several probes of different types defined in the same
object and supporting the notion of enabling and disabling probes.

The rest of the patches are the implementation of the new probe type,
including target support for x86_64 targets, a testsuite and
documentation.

Tested on x86_64-*-linux-gnu.
No visible regressions.


Jose E. Marchesi (9):
  Adapt `info probes' to support printing probes of different types.
  Move `compute_probe_arg' and `compile_probe_arg' to probe.c
  New commands `enable probe' and `disable probe'.
  New gdbarch functions: dtrace_parse_probe_argument,
    dtrace_probe_is_enabled, dtrace_enable_probe, dtrace_disable_probe.
  New probe type: DTrace USDT probes.
  Support for DTrace USDT probes in x86_64 targets.
  Simple testsuite for DTrace USDT probes.
  Documentation for DTrace USDT probes.
  Announce the DTrace USDT probes support in NEWS.

From: Jose E. Marchesi @ 2014-10-28 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gdb

This patch adds several gdbarch functions (along with the
corresponding predicates): `dtrace_parse_probe_argument',
`dtrace_probe_is_enabled', `dtrace_enable_probe' and
`dtrace_disable_probe'.  These functions will be implemented by
target-specific code, and called from the DTrace probes implementation
in order to calculate the value of probe arguments, and manipulate
is-enabled probes.

gdb/ChangeLog:

  2014-10-28  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

	* gdbarch.sh (dtrace_parse_probe_argument): New.
	(dtrace_probe_is_enabled): Likewise.
	(dtrace_enable_probe): Likewise.
	(dtrace_disable_probe): Likewise.
	* gdbarch.c: Regenerate.
	* gdbarch.h: Regenerate.

A "probe type" (backend for the probe abstraction implemented in
probe.[ch]) can extend the information printed by `info probes' by
defining additional columns.  This means that when `info probes' is
used to print all the probes regardless of their types, some of the
columns will be "not applicable" to some of the probes (like, say, the
Semaphore column only makes sense for SystemTap probes).  This patch
makes `info probes' fill these slots with "n/a" marks (currently it
breaks the table) and not include headers for which no actual probe
has been found in the list of defined probes.

This patch also adds support for a new generic column "Type", that
displays the type of each probe.  SystemTap probes identify themselves
as "stap" probes.

gdb/ChangeLog:

  2014-10-28  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

	* stap-probe.c (stap_probe_ops): Add `stap_type_name'.
	(stap_type_name): New function.
	* probe.h (probe_ops): Added a new probe operation `type_name'.
	* probe.c (print_ui_out_not_applicables): New function.
	(exists_probe_with_pops): Likewise.
	(info_probes_for_ops): Do not include column headers for probe
	types for which no probe has been actually found on any object.
	Also invoke `print_ui_out_not_applicables' in order to match the
	column rows with the header when probes of several types are
	listed.
	Print the "Type" column.

From: Jose E. Marchesi @ 2014-10-28 13:44 UTC (permalink / raw)
  To: gdb

This patch adds some simple tests testing the support for DTrace USDT
probes.  The testsuite will be skipped as unsupported in case the user
does not have DTrace installed on her system.  The tests included in the
test suite test breakpointing on DTrace probes, enabling and disabling
probes, printing of probe arguments of several types and also
breakpointing on several probes with the same name.

gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog:

  2014-10-28  Jose E. Marchesi  <jose.marchesi@oracle.com>

 	* lib/dtrace.exp: New file.
	* gdb.base/dtrace-probe.exp: Likewise.
	* gdb.base/dtrace-probe.d: Likewise.
	* gdb.base/dtrace-probe.c: Likewise.
	* lib/pdtrace: Likewise.

+#   program.  Equivalent to dtrace -G.
+#
+# - The generation of a header file with definitions for static
+#   probes.  Equivalent to dtrace -h.
+#
+# This allows to generate DTrace static probes without having to use
+# the user-level DTrace components.  The generated objects are 100%
+# compatible with DTrace and can be traced by the dtrace kernel module
+# like if they were generated by dtrace.
+#
+# Some of the known limitations of this implementation are:
+# - The input d-script must describe one provider, and only one.
+# - The "probe " directives in the d-file must not include argument
+#   names, just the types.  Thus something like `char *' is valid, but
+#   `char *name' is not.
+# - The command line options must precede other arguments, since the
+#   script uses the (more) portable getopts.
+# - Each probe header in the d-script must be contained in
+#   a single line.
+# - strip -K removes the debugging information from the input object
+#   file.
+# - The supported target platforms are i[3456]86 and x86_64.
+#
+# This script uses the following external programs: tr, nm, egrep,
+# sed, cut, readelf, sort, expr, wc, uniq, head, seq, as, strip, true

This patch adds the target-specific code in order to support the
calculation of DTrace probes arguments in x86_64 targets, and also the
enabling and disabling of probes.  This is done by implementing the
`dtrace_*' gdbarch handlers.

I mistyped the mailing list name while git-send-emailing.  I resent the
series to gdb-patches@.

Sorry for the noise pals! :)

One space here, please.

Otherwise, this is fine.

This seems confusing to me now that there is additional DTrace context

"a standalone probe definition file" be better than "DTrace-style"?
