SYSTEMTAP EXAMPLES INDEX BY KEYWORD
(see also index.txt)
= BACKTRACE =
interrupt/scf.stp - Tally Backtraces for Inter-Processor Interrupt (IPI)
keywords: interrupt backtrace
The Linux kernel function smp_call_function causes expensive
inter-processor interrupts (IPIs). The scf.stp script tallies the
processes and backtraces causing the interprocessor interrupts to
identify the cause of the expensive IPI. On exit the script prints
the tallies in descending frequency.
io/io_submit.stp - Tally Reschedule Reason During AIO io_submit Call
keywords: io backtrace
When a reschedule occurs during an AIO io_submit call, accumulate the
traceback in a histogram. When the script exits prints out a sorted
list from most common to least common backtrace.
process/sleepingBeauties.stp - Generating Backtraces of Threads Waiting for IO Operations
keywords: io scheduler backtrace
The script monitors the time that threads spend waiting for IO
operations (in "D" state) in the wait_for_completion function. If a
thread spends over 10ms, its name and backtrace is printed, and later
so is the total delay.
= BUFFER =
network/dropwatch.stp - Watch Where Socket Buffers are Freed in the Kernel
keywords: network tracepoint buffer free
Every five seconds the dropwatch.stp script lists the number of
socket buffers freed at locations in the kernel.
network/sk_stream_wait_memory.stp - Track Start and Stop of Processes Due to Network Buffer Space
keywords: network tcp buffer memory
The sk_stream-wait_memory.stp prints a time stamp, executable, and
pid each time a process blocks due to the send buffer being full. A
similar entry is printed each time a process continues because there
is room in the buffer.
= CALLGRAPH =
general/para-callgraph.stp - Callgraph tracing with arguments
keywords: trace callgraph
Print a timed per-thread callgraph, complete with function parameters
and return values. The first parameter names the function probe
points to trace. The optional second parameter names the probe
points for trigger functions, which acts to enable tracing for only
those functions that occur while the current thread is nested within
the trigger.
= CPU =
general/graphs.stp - Graphing Disk and CPU Utilization
keywords: disk cpu use graph

socket buffers freed at locations in the kernel.
= FUNCTIONS =
profiling/functioncallcount.stp - Count Times Functions Called
keywords: profiling functions
The functioncallcount.stp script takes one argument, a list of
functions to probe. The script will run and count the number of times
that each of the functions on the list is called. On exit the script
will print a sorted list from most frequently to least frequently
called function.
= FUTEX =
process/futexes.stp - System-Wide Futex Contention
keywords: syscall locking futex
The script watches the futex syscall on the system. On exit the
futexes address, the number of contentions, and the average time for
each contention on the futex are printed from lowest pid number to
highest.
= GRAPH =
general/graphs.stp - Graphing Disk and CPU Utilization
keywords: disk cpu use graph
The script tracks the disk and CPU utilization. The resulting output
of the script can be piped into gnuplot to generate a graph of disk
and CPU USE.
= INTERRUPT =
interrupt/scf.stp - Tally Backtraces for Inter-Processor Interrupt (IPI)
keywords: interrupt backtrace
The Linux kernel function smp_call_function causes expensive
inter-processor interrupts (IPIs). The scf.stp script tallies the
processes and backtraces causing the interprocessor interrupts to
identify the cause of the expensive IPI. On exit the script prints
the tallies in descending frequency.
= IO =
io/io_submit.stp - Tally Reschedule Reason During AIO io_submit Call

traceback in a histogram. When the script exits prints out a sorted
list from most common to least common backtrace.
io/ioblktime.stp - Average Time Block IO Requests Spend in Queue
keywords: io
The ioblktime.stp script tracks the amount of time that each block IO
requests spend waiting for completion. The script computes the
average time waiting time for block IO per device and prints list
every 10 seconds. In some cases there can be too many oustanding
block IO operations and the script may exceed the default number of
MAXMAPENTRIES allowed. In this case the allowed number can be
increased with "-DMAXMAPENTRIES=10000" option on the stap command
line.
io/iostats.stp - List Executables Reading and Writing the Most Data
keywords: io profiling
The iostat.stp script measures the amount of data successfully read
and written by all the executables on the system. The output is
sorted from most greatest sum of bytes read and written by an
executable to the least. The output contains the count of operations
(opens, reads, and writes), the totals and averages for the number of
bytes read and written.
io/iotime.stp - Trace Time Spent in Read and Write for Files
keywords: syscall read write time io
The script watches each open, close, read, and write syscalls on the
system. For each file the scripts observes opened it accumulates the
amount of wall clock time spend in read and write operations and the
number of bytes read and written. When a file is closed the script
prints out a pair of lines for the file. Both lines begin with a
timestamp in microseconds, the PID number, and the executable name in
parenthesese. The first line with the "access" keyword lists the file
name, the attempted number of bytes for the read and write
operations. The second line with the "iotime" keyword list the file
name and the number of microseconds accumulated in the read and write
syscalls.
io/iotop.stp - Periodically Print I/O Activity by Process Name
keywords: io
Every five seconds print out the top ten executables generating I/O
traffic during that interval sorted in descending order.
io/traceio.stp - Track Cumulative I/O Activity by Process Name
keywords: io
Every second print out the top ten executables sorted in descending
order based on cumulative I/O traffic observed.
io/traceio2.stp - Watch I/O Activity on a Particular Device
keywords: io
Print out the executable name and process number as reads and writes
to the specified device occur.
io/ttyspy.stp - Monitor tty typing.
keywords: io tty per-process monitor
The ttyspy.stp script uses tty_audit hooks to monitor recent typing
activity on the system, printing a scrolling record of recent
keystrokes, on a per-tty basis.
process/sleepingBeauties.stp - Generating Backtraces of Threads Waiting for IO Operations
keywords: io scheduler backtrace
The script monitors the time that threads spend waiting for IO
operations (in "D" state) in the wait_for_completion function. If a
thread spends over 10ms, its name and backtrace is printed, and later
so is the total delay.
= LOCKING =
process/futexes.stp - System-Wide Futex Contention
keywords: syscall locking futex
The script watches the futex syscall on the system. On exit the
futexes address, the number of contentions, and the average time for
each contention on the futex are printed from lowest pid number to
highest.
= MEMORY =
memory/kmalloc-top - Show Paths to Kernel Malloc (kmalloc) Invocations
keywords: memory
The kmalloc-top perl program runs a small systemtap script to collect
stack traces for each call to the kmalloc function and counts the
time that each stack trace is observed. When kmalloc-top exits it
prints out sorted list. The output can be be filtered to print only
only the first stack traces (-t) stack traces with more a minimum
counts (-m), or exclude certain stack traces (-e).
memory/pfaults.stp - Generate Log of Major and Minor Page Faults
keywords: memory
The pfaults.stp script generates a simple log for each major and
minor page fault that occurs on the system. Each line contains a
timestamp (in microseconds) when the page fault servicing was
completed, the pid of the process, the address of the page fault, the
type of access (read or write), the type of fault (major or minor),
and the elapsed time for page fault. This log can be examined to
determine where the page faults are occuring.
network/sk_stream_wait_memory.stp - Track Start and Stop of Processes Due to Network Buffer Space
keywords: network tcp buffer memory
The sk_stream-wait_memory.stp prints a time stamp, executable, and
pid each time a process blocks due to the send buffer being full. A

is room in the buffer.
network/socket-trace.stp - Trace Functions called in Network Socket Code
keywords: network socket
The script instrument each of the functions inn the Linux kernel's
net/socket.c file. The script prints out trace. The first element of
a line is time delta in microseconds from the previous entry. This
is followed by the command name and the PID. The "->" and "<-"
indicates function entry and function exit, respectively. The last
element of the line is the function name.
network/tcp_connections.stp - Track Creation of Incoming TCP Connections
