Bug ID: 31020
Summary: Use of symlinks in probe process(PATH).* would confuse
task finder when matching procname
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: runtime
Assignee: systemtap at sourceware dot org
Reporter: agentzh at gmail dot com
Target Milestone: ---
For probes like `process("PATH").begin` and `process("PATH").function`, when we
use symlinks for PATH, the task finder would silently fail to match the target
processes' procname.
We should always resolve PATH at runtime to the real file path. The target
processes' process names and mmap file paths are always real file paths.
This is especially important once we do early inode uprobe registrations right
before the task finder is started, where we also resolve the real inode for the
PATH string without inspecting running processes (and also when we have to
specify symlinks like /proc/PID/exe link for deleted ELF files).
