I am using powerpc 4.19.90 and see a similar output:

Most of the examples are working now. I just had to enable CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS. But I still can't get the syscall tracing to work. I must be missing some other kernel config option?

I have all the examples working now. There was a problem with the __xprobe_create and delete functions. xprobe.c sets the write buffer to 4k bytes, but for some reason on my embedded system the writev call was returning with max 1K bytes. So, if the wildcard list of probes was too big it ended up chopping the probe create write request in the middle. I ended up just flushing the write after every individual probe create.

Sorry for the latency. Always nice to revisit an issue a couple of days later and find that the issue has been mostly resolved 😄

@dcrawford1: Where you able to spot which parameter is set to 1k vs. 4k on your system? Presumably your page size is still 4k? It would be nice if ply could adapt to the kernel's preferences.

Additionally, it seems like two things need attention here:

  • The error message generated when the kernel does not have the proper support is inscrutable. I'll put an item on the todo list to add some sort of self-test.
  • I should probably update the example since the whole SyS_ prefix only works on x86_64 as far as I know.

The page size is definitely 4k. I am not sure where the 1K limit is set. I am using buildroot on powerpc with musl. The setvbuf(xp->ctrl, NULL, _IOFBF, 0x1000) call in xprobe_attach is returning success. If the kprobe wildcard set is small like 3 or 4 probes and the write buffer size is <1K it works fine. But, if the wildcard set is too big then the writev in strace returns with 1024 bytes written and the kprobe create request gets corrupted. I don't think it is too bad to just flush the write after each probe create/delete request. Even if I use a sys_* wildcard on my slow powerpc embedded system it only takes a second or two to setup.

# grep PageSize /proc/1/smaps
KernelPageSize:        4 kB
MMUPageSize:           4 kB

By the way, I love this project. This is the only solution to get BPF tracing working on our powerpc 64MB embedded target.

Is there any way to access indexed values within the array returned by the mem() function? I want to only continue processing the aggregation if the 2nd element returned by the mem(arg1, 10) function is a specific value.

Unfortunately this seems to be heavily architecture dependent. Some archs are terribly slow when these calls are not batched. I think there was a more efficient interface added to do this a while back though, so that might be the proper solution.

Thank you for those kind words. Yes, I also work on embedded systems, so that has been a target from the start.

As for indexing into arrays, I'm sad to say that I haven't gotten around to it yet. ply frustratingly knows that the returned data is an array, but there is no support in the grammar to index it 🤦‍♂️. It's high on my list as it is an issue i run into a lot as well, that and not having type casts.
