[PATCH 2/5] tracing/probes: Support BTF field access from retval

From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google)
Date: Sat Jun 17 2023 - 05:47:36 EST


From: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@xxxxxxxxxx>

Introduce 'retval' (Not '$retval') BTF argument for function return events
including kretprobe and fprobe for accessing the return value. This also
allows user to access its fields if the return value is a pointer of a
data structure.

E.g.
# echo 'f getname_flags%return +0(retval->name):string' \
> dynamic_events
# echo 1 > events/fprobes/getname_flags__exit/enable
# ls > /dev/null
# head -n 40 trace | tail
ls-87 [000] ...1. 8067.616101: getname_flags__exit: (vfs_fstatat+0x3c/0x70 <- getname_flags) arg1="./function_profile_enabled"
ls-87 [000] ...1. 8067.616108: getname_flags__exit: (vfs_fstatat+0x3c/0x70 <- getname_flags) arg1="./trace_stat"
