Depending on your use of wildcards, you can also use this script to target multiple kernel functions. takes the targeted kernel function as an argument. The argument supports wildcards, which enables you to target multiple kernel functions up to a certain extent. script examples timer.ms(), sample usage examples of SystemTap scripts timer.ms(), sample usage timer.ms(), sample usage examples of SystemTap scripts You can increase the sample time by editing the timer in the second probe (timer.ms()). The output of contains the name of the function called and how many times it was called during the sample time (in alphabetical order). contains an excerpt from the output of stap countcalls.stp "*@mm/*.c": [...] __vma_link 97 __vma_link_file 66 __vma_link_list 97 __vma_link_rb 97 __xchg 103 add_page_to_active_list 102 add_page_to_inactive_list 19 add_to_page_cache 19 add_to_page_cache_lru 7 all_vm_events 6 alloc_pages_node 4630 alloc_slabmgmt 67 anon_vma_alloc 62 anon_vma_free 62 anon_vma_lock 66 anon_vma_prepare 98 anon_vma_unlink 97 anon_vma_unlock 66 arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown 94 arch_get_unmapped_exec_area 3 arch_unmap_area_topdown 97 atomic_add 2 atomic_add_negative 97 atomic_dec_and_test 5153 atomic_inc 470 atomic_inc_and_test 1 [...]
