Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo fd5cead23f perf trace: Beautify statx syscall 'flag' and 'mask' arguments ... To test it, build samples/statx/test_statx, which I did as: $ make headers_install $ cc -I ~/git/linux/usr/include samples/statx/test-statx.c -o /tmp/statx And then use perf trace on it: # perf trace -e statx /tmp/statx /etc/passwd statx(/etc/passwd) = 0 results=7ff Size: 3496 Blocks: 8 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fd:00 Inode: 280156 Links: 1 Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--) Uid: 0 Gid: 0 Access: 2017-03-29 16:01:01.650073438-0300 Modify: 2017-03-10 16:25:14.156479354-0300 Change: 2017-03-10 16:25:14.171479328-0300 0.000 ( 0.007 ms): statx/30648 statx(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x7ef503f4, flags: SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, mask: TYPE|MODE|NLINK|UID|GID|ATIME|MTIME|CTIME|INO|SIZE|BLOCKS|BTIME, buffer: 0x7fff7ef4eb10) = 0 # Using the test-stat.c options to change the mask: # perf trace -e statx /tmp/statx -O /etc/passwd > /dev/null 0.000 ( 0.008 ms): statx/30745 statx(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x3a0753f4, flags: SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, mask: BTIME, buffer: 0x7ffd3a0735c0) = 0 # # perf trace -e statx /tmp/statx -A /etc/passwd > /dev/null 0.000 ( 0.010 ms): statx/30757 statx(dfd: CWD, filename: 0xa94e63f4, flags: SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW|NO_AUTOMOUNT, mask: TYPE|MODE|NLINK|UID|GID|ATIME|MTIME|CTIME|INO|SIZE|BLOCKS|BTIME, buffer: 0x7ffea94e49d0) = 0 # # trace --no-inherit -e statx /tmp/statx -F /etc/passwd > /dev/null 0.000 ( 0.011 ms): statx(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x3b02d3f3, flags: SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW|STATX_FORCE_SYNC, mask: TYPE|MODE|NLINK|UID|GID|ATIME|MTIME|CTIME|INO|SIZE|BLOCKS|BTIME, buffer: 0x7ffd3b02c850) = 0 # # trace --no-inherit -e statx /tmp/statx -F -L /etc/passwd > /dev/null 0.000 ( 0.008 ms): statx(dfd: CWD, filename: 0x15cff3f3, flags: STATX_FORCE_SYNC, mask: TYPE|MODE|NLINK|UID|GID|ATIME|MTIME|CTIME|INO|SIZE|BLOCKS|BTIME, buffer: 0x7fff15cfdda0) = 0 # # trace --no-inherit -e statx /tmp/statx -D -O /etc/passwd > /dev/null 0.000 ( 0.009 ms): statx(dfd: CWD, filename: 0xfa37f3f3, flags: SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW|STATX_DONT_SYNC, mask: BTIME, buffer: 0x7ffffa37da20) = 0 # Adding a probe to get the filename collected as well: # perf probe 'vfs_getname=getname_flags:72 pathname=result->name:string' Added new event: probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1 # trace --no-inherit -e statx /tmp/statx -D -O /etc/passwd > /dev/null 0.169 ( 0.007 ms): statx(dfd: CWD, filename: /etc/passwd, flags: SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW|STATX_DONT_SYNC, mask: BTIME, buffer: 0x7ffda9bf50f0) = 0 # Same technique could be used to collect and beautify the result put in the 'buffer' argument.
