tools lib traceevent: Fix processing of dereferenced args in bprintk events

2019-01-09T16:38:47+00:00

commit f024cf085c423bac7512479f45c34ee9a24af7ce upstream.

In the case that a bprintk event has a dereferenced pointer that is
stored as a string, and there's more values to process (more args), the
arg was not updated to point to the next arg after processing the
dereferenced pointer, and it screwed up what was to be displayed.

perf tools: Fix tracing_path_mount proper path

2018-10-16T15:27:46+00:00

If there's no tracefs (RHEL7) support the tracing_path_mount
returns debugfs path which results in following fail:

  # perf probe sys_write
  kprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild kernel with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS.
  Error: Failed to add events.

In tracing_path_debugfs_mount function we need to return the
'tracing' path instead of just the mount to make it work:

  # perf probe sys_write
  Added new event:
    probe:sys_write      (on sys_write)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

          perf record -e probe:sys_write -aR sleep 1

Adding the 'return tracing_path;' also to tracing_path_tracefs_mount
function just for consistency with tracing_path_debugfs_mount.

Upstream keeps working, because it has the tracefs support.

tools lib bpf: Provide wrapper for strerror_r to build in !_GNU_SOURCE systems

2018-09-18T13:16:18+00:00

Same problem that got fixed in a similar fashion in tools/perf/ in
c8b5f2c96d1b ("tools: Introduce str_error_r()"), fix it in the same
way, licensing needs to be sorted out to libbpf to use libapi, so,
for this simple case, just get the same wrapper in tools/lib/bpf.

This makes libbpf and its users (bpftool, selftests, perf) to build
again in Alpine Linux 3.[45678] and edge.

tools lib traceevent: Rename static variables and functions in event-parse.c

2018-08-13T18:37:26+00:00

In order to make libtraceevent into a proper library, variables, data
structures and functions require a unique prefix to prevent name space
conflicts. That prefix will be "tep_" and not "pevent_". This changes
static variables and functions in event-parse.c: pevent_func_params,
__pevent_parse_format, __pevent_parse_event, pevent_error_str, pevent_search_event
