Bug ID: 23068
Summary: need to get section-list for dynamically loaded kernel
module
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: runtime
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: me at serhei dot io
CC: smakarov at redhat dot com
Target Milestone: ---
The only available section-list information for kernel modules is what's
collected and passed by staprun at stap module startup. If a new module is
loaded during the lifetime of a stap module, the new module's section-list info
cannot be accessed from the stap module itself. This prevents e.g. build-id
checking for dynamically loaded modules.
- on more recent kernels, could the section-list be accessed directly?
- failing that, could staprun be asked to re-run its section-list information
gathering and pass updated info to the module?
Steps to repro:
$ modprobe igb
$ stap -DDEBUG_SYMBOLS=3 -ve 'probe module("igb").function("igb_*_module") {
printf("%s: %s.\n", ctime(gettimeofday_s()), ppfunc()); }'
... observe that section-list for igb is loaded ...
^C
$ rmmod igb
$ stap -DDEBUG_SYMBOLS=3 -ve 'probe module("igb").function("igb_*_module") {
printf("%s: %s.\n", ctime(gettimeofday_s()), ppfunc()); }'
...
$ modprobe igb # while the stap module is running
... observe that section-list for igb is not loaded, build-id check is not
performed, and so forth ...
