Porting DTrace to ARM
Hi,
I'm working on porting DTrace to ARM.
The patch (*) is my WIP product on the work. It's not
still mature but it works anyway in some cases.
(*) https://gist.github.com/ozaki-r/8535846
I'm sending the patch because I would like to ask comments
and suggestions whether I'm going to the right direction.
Any comments and suggestions are appreciated.
Current status:
- The patch is tested on an AM3352 board
- built with -m evbarm kernel=BEAGLEBONE
- and it doesn't break builds of i386/amd64 and
evbram w/o MKDTRACE=yes
- SDT works
- FBT works on 80% functions
- ex. dtrace -n fbt::sys_open:return
- DScript doesn't work
Implementation notes:
- Undefined instructions are used to trap functions'
entry/return
- The least significant four bits are used to include
the cond of a patched instruction
- The cond is used to known quickly if the trapped
instruction should be executed or not
- Unlike i386/amd64 versions, the dtrace trap handler
is implemented as one of undefined_handlers as same
as gdb
- So the current implementation is slightly inefficient
- Unlike i386/amd64 versions, part of a patched
instruction is returned by dtrace_probe to the trap
handler to emulate the instruction correctly
The diffstat of the patch is:
