+====================================
+Instrumenting CPython with SystemTap
+====================================
+
+:author: David Malcolm <dmalcolm@redhat.com>
+
+DTrace and SystemTap are monitoring tools, each providing a way to inspect
+what the processes on a computer system are doing.  They both use
+domain-specific languages allowing a user to write scripts which:
+
+  - filter which processes are to be observed
+  - gather data from the processes of interest
+  - generate reports on the data
+
+As of Python 3.3, CPython can be built with embedded "markers" that can be
+observed by a SystemTap script, making it easier to monitor what the CPython
+processes on a system are doing.
+
+.. Potentially this document could be expanded to also cover DTrace markers.
+   However, I'm not a DTrace expert.
+
+.. I'm using ".. code-block:: c" for SystemTap scripts, as "c" is syntactically
+   the closest match that Sphinx supports
+
+
+Enabling the static markers
+---------------------------
+
+In order to build CPython with the embedded markers for SystemTap, the
+SystemTap development tools must be installed.
+
+On a Fedora or Red Hat Enterprise Linux machine, this can be done via::
+
+   yum install systemtap-sdt-devel
+
+CPython must then be configured `--with-systemtap`::
+
+   checking for --with-systemtap... yes
+
+You can verify if the SystemTap static markers are present in the built
+binary by seeing if it contains a ".note.stapsdt" section.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   $ eu-readelf -S ./python | grep .note.stapsdt
+   [29] .note.stapsdt        NOTE         0000000000000000 00308d78 000000b8  0        0   0  4
+
+If you've built python as a shared library (with --enable-shared), you need
+to look instead within the shared library.  For example:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   $ eu-readelf -S libpython3.3dm.so.1.0 | grep .note.stapsdt
+   [28] .note.stapsdt        NOTE         0000000000000000 00365b68 000000b8  0        0   0  4
+
+Earlier versions of SystemTap stored the markers in a ".probes" section.
+
+For the curious, you can see the metadata for the static markers using this
+invocation.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ eu-readelf -x .note.stapsdt ./python
+

+
+The above metadata contains information for SystemTap describing how it can
+patch strategically-placed machine code instructions to enable the tracing
+hooks used by a SystemTap script.
+
+
+Static markers
+--------------
+
+The low-level way to use the SystemTap integration is to use the static
+markers directly.  This requires you to explicitly state the binary file
+containing them.
+
+For example, this script can be used to show the call/return hierarchy of a
+Python script:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+   probe process('python').mark("function__entry") {
+        filename = user_string($arg1);
+        funcname = user_string($arg2);
+        lineno = $arg3;
+
+        printf("%s => %s in %s:%d\\n",
+               thread_indent(1), funcname, filename, lineno);
+   }
+
+   probe process('python').mark("function__return") {
+       filename = user_string($arg1);
+       funcname = user_string($arg2);
+       lineno = $arg3;
+
+       printf("%s <= %s in %s:%d\\n",
+              thread_indent(-1), funcname, filename, lineno);
+   }
+
+It can be invoked like this:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   $ stap \
+     show-call-hierarchy.stp \
+     -c ./python test.py
+
+The output looks like this::
+
+   11408 python(8274):        => __contains__ in Lib/_abcoll.py:362
+   11414 python(8274):         => __getitem__ in Lib/os.py:425
+   11418 python(8274):          => encode in Lib/os.py:490
+   11424 python(8274):          <= encode in Lib/os.py:493
+   11428 python(8274):         <= __getitem__ in Lib/os.py:426
+   11433 python(8274):        <= __contains__ in Lib/_abcoll.py:366
+
+where the columns are:
+
+  - time in microseconds since start of script
+
+  - name of executable
+
+  - PID of process
+
+and the remainder indicates the call/return hierarchy as the script executes.
+
+For a `--enable-shared` build of CPython, the markers are contained within the
+libpython shared library, and the probe's dotted path needs to reflect this. For
+example, this line from the above example::
+
+   probe process('python').mark("function__entry") {
+
+should instead read::
+
+   probe process('python').library("libpython3.3dm.so.1.0").mark("function__entry") {
+
+(assuming a debug build of CPython 3.3)
+
+.. I'm reusing the "c:function" type for markers
+
+.. c:function:: function__entry(str filename, str funcname, int lineno)
+
+   This marker indicates that execution of a Python function has begun.  It is
+   only triggered for pure-python (bytecode) functions.
+
+   The filename, function name, and line number are provided back to the
+   tracing script as positional arguments, which must be accessed using
+   `$arg1`, `$arg2`:
+
+       * `$arg1` : `(const char *)` filename, accessible using `user_string($arg1)`
+
+       * `$arg2` : `(const char *)` function name, accessible using
+         `user_string($arg2)`
+
+       * `$arg3` : `int` line number
+
+       * `$arg4` : `(PyFrameObject *)`, the frame being executed
+
+.. c:function:: function__return(str filename, str funcname, int lineno)
+
+   This marker is the converse of `function__entry`, and indicates that
+   execution of a Python function has ended (either via ``return``, or via an
+   exception).  It is only triggered for pure-python (bytecode) functions.
+
+   The arguments are the same as for `function__entry`
+
+
+Tapsets
+-------
+
+The higher-level way to use the SystemTap integration is to use a "tapset":
+SystemTap's equivalent of a library, which hides some of the lower-level
+details of the static markers.
+
+Here is a tapset file, based on a non-shared build of CPython:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    /*
+       Provide a higher-level wrapping around the function__entry and
+       function__return markers:
+     */
+    probe python.function.entry = process("python").mark("function__entry")
+    {
+        filename = user_string($arg1);
+        funcname = user_string($arg2);
+        lineno = $arg3;
+        frameptr = $arg4
+    }
+    probe python.function.return = process("python").mark("function__return")
+    {
+        filename = user_string($arg1);
+        funcname = user_string($arg2);
+        lineno = $arg3;
+        frameptr = $arg4
+    }
+
+If this file is installed in SystemTap's tapset directory (e.g.
+`/usr/share/systemtap/tapset`), then these additional probepoints become
+available:
+
+.. c:function:: python.function.entry(str filename, str funcname, int lineno, frameptr)
+
+   This probe point indicates that execution of a Python function has begun.
+   It is only triggered for pure-python (bytecode) functions.
+
+.. c:function:: python.function.return(str filename, str funcname, int lineno, frameptr)
+
+   This probe point is the converse of `python.function.return`, and indicates
+   that execution of a Python function has ended (either via ``return``, or
+   via an exception).  It is only triggered for pure-python (bytecode) functions.
+
+
+Examples
+--------
+This SystemTap script uses the tapset above to more cleanly implement the
+example given above of tracing the Python function-call hierarchy, without
+needing to directly name the static markers:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    probe python.function.entry
+    {
+      printf("%s => %s in %s:%d\n",
+             thread_indent(1), funcname, filename, lineno);
+    }
+
+    probe python.function.return
+    {
+      printf("%s <= %s in %s:%d\n",
+             thread_indent(-1), funcname, filename, lineno);
+    }
+
+
+The following script uses the tapset above to provide a top-like view of all
+running CPython code, showing the top 20 most frequently-entered bytecode
+frames, each second, across the whole system:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+    global fn_calls;
+
+    probe python.function.entry
+    {
+      fn_calls[pid(), filename, funcname, lineno] += 1;
+    }
+
+    probe timer.ms(1000) {
+        printf("\033[2J\033[1;1H") /* clear screen */
+        printf("%6s %80s %6s %30s %6s\n",
+               "PID", "FILENAME", "LINE", "FUNCTION", "CALLS")
+        foreach ([pid, filename, funcname, lineno] in fn_calls- limit 20) {
+            printf("%6d %80s %6d %30s %6d\n",
+                pid, filename, lineno, funcname,
+                fn_calls[pid, filename, funcname, lineno]);
+        }
+        delete fn_calls;
+    }
+
