This assists - diagnosis of a performance or functional problem. SystemTap eliminates the - need for the developer to go through the tedious and disruptive instrument, - recompile, install, and reboot sequence that may be otherwise required to - collect data. - - - - SystemTap provides a simple command line interface and scripting language - for writing instrumentation for a live running kernel. The instrumentation - makes extensive use of the probe points and functions provided in the - tapset library. This document describes the various - probe points and functions. - - -
- Tapset Name Format - -In this guide, tapset definitions appear in the following format: - - -name:return (parameters) - definition - - - - The return field specifies what data type the tapset extracts - and returns from the kernel during a probe (and thus, returns). - Tapsets use 2 data types for return: - long (tapset extracts and returns an integer) and - string (tapset extracts and returns a string). - - - - In some cases, tapsets do not have a return value. This - simply means that the tapset does not extract anything from the kernel. This is common among - asynchronous events such as timers, exit functions, and print functions. - - - - - - -
