From c522739d72a341a3e74a369ce6298b9412813d3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Fri, 27 Sep 2013 18:06:19 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf trace: Use vfs_getname hook if available Initially it tries to find a probe:vfs_getname that should be setup with: perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:65 pathname=result->name:string' or with slight changes to cope with code flux in the getname_flags code. In the future, if a "vfs:getname" tracepoint becomes available, then it will be preferred. This is not strictly required and more expensive method of reading the /proc/pid/fd/ symlink will be used when the fd->path array entry is not populated by a previous vfs_getname + open syscall ret sequence. As with any other 'perf probe' probe the setup must be done just once and the probe will be left inactive, waiting for users, be it 'perf trace' of any other tool.
