Changes

Tue Oct  9 22:07:16 2012  fox

     779* ctf_struct.c: Add support for <linux/migrate.h> which can
          cause ctfconvert to fail due to a missing structure(?)
	  (Dan Mick)

     778* tools/mkport.pl: Add support for HAVE_LINUX_MIGRATE_H

Thu Aug 23 07:47:40 2012  fox

     777* tools/mkport.c, libproc/common/Pcontrol.c:
          Fix for PTRACE_O_TRACEEXEC which may not exist
	  in <sys/ptrace.h> (Centos 5.3).

     776* driver/x_call.c: Fix for IPI on archlinux-3.4/i386

Wed Aug 22 23:57:50 2012  fox

     775* driver/dtrace_linux.c, tools/load.pl: Remove some of the 
     	  legacy symbols as we dont need them anymore.

Mon Aug 20 22:03:03 2012  fox

     774* driver/fbt_linux.c: Better fix for skipping .init section
          of drivers loaded after dtrace - avoids paniccing if
	  we probe on them (eg 'dtrace -n fbt:isofs::').

     773* driver/signal.c: Put in the missing assembler code for i386.

Sun Aug 19 16:05:01 2012  fox

     772* scripts/dt.pl: Rename to dt.

     771* scripts/dt.pl: Add 'dt func <pid>'

     770* archive: 1.0145

     769* libproc/common/Pcontrol.c: Some changes to Pxcreate to handle
          parent/child sync with a forked child from 'dtrace -c cmd'.

Sat Aug 18 16:15:47 2012  fox

     768* driver/signal.c, fasttrap_isa.c, dtrace_subr.c, and others:
          Intercept process signal delivery. If we are inside the
	  scratch area for the PID provider, reset PC to the original
	  instruction. This stops user app core dumping on return from
	  a signal handler because we would return to the scratch area
	  but the scratch area will most likely be overwritten with
	  a later instruction.

Fri Aug 17 08:46:57 2012  fox

     767* driver/x_call.c: Fix for Debian-6 - find any apic outlet to
          invoke.

     766* tools/mksyscall.pl: Fix for Debian-6.

     765* systrace.c: Fixes for Debian-6.

Sat Aug 11 10:05:56 2012  fox

     764* fasttrap_isa.c: Fix the last issue properly - 2 styles
          of indexed instructions werent being handled
	  properly. Now they are.

     763* archive: 1.0144

Thu Aug  9 22:48:18 2012  fox

     762* fasttrap_isa.c, fasttrap.c: Fix handling of 
             41 ff 14 c4             callq  *(%r12,%rax,8)
	  instruction.

	  Add private page for the scratch buffer trampoline.

Mon Aug  6 20:56:11 2012  fox

     761* Archive: 1.0143

     760* driver/systrace.c: Fix for 32b binaries on 64b kernel for
          Centos/RedHat releases.

Sun Aug  5 11:50:41 2012  fox

     759* tools/mkport.h: Fix for FUNC_DUMP_TRACE_ARGS on centos5.6.

     758* dtrace_asm.c: dtrace_casptr: Add a check that target is writable
          and avoid paniccing kernel when it isnt (eg syscall tracing,
	  caused by mem_set_writable code not working). Hm. Undo
	  this change - we can get deadlock if we trigger a violation.
	  Or something else - not sure what it is.

     757* fasttrap_isa.c, dtrace_linux.c: When patching in PID provider
          instructions, ensure page is executable. 
	  Centos5.3 2.6.18-128.el5 fix

Sat Aug  4 15:16:00 2012  fox

     756* cmd/ctfconvert: Doesnt depend on -lbfd

     755* libdtrace/dt_link.c: Allow us to avoid deleting the temp file.
          Fix file perms issue.

     754* libdtrace/dt_subr.c: dt_alloc: Use calloc() and not malloc()
          as this can cause bad ELF file generation.

     753* linux/sys/regset.h: Reorder the amd64 registers to match
          the interrupt trap, so that single stepping pid probes work
	  properly.

     752* driver/fasttrap.c: Significant speed up for /proc/dtrace/fasttrap.
          Not ideal or linear, but better than before.

Fri Aug  3 11:40:18 2012  fox

     751* driver/intr_x86-64.S, intr_x86-32.S: Dont corrupt RAX register on 
          an INT3 trap. Was breaking pid provider/fasttrap.

Thu Aug  2 08:25:51 2012  fox

     750* driver/x_call.c: xcall_init() Ensure xcalls[] is setup even
          if no APIC (Centos 5.5 issue).

Wed Aug  1 15:24:01 2012  fox

     749* libproc/common/Psymtab.c: Fix for _dl_initial_error_catch_tsd on
          Centos 5.3.

     748* driver/taskq.c: Fix for centos 5.3 (2.6.18-129) where invoking
          workqueue callback derefs null ptr.

     747* cmd/ctfconvert/tdata.c: Avoid core dump in tdesc_layouthash
          if we have a struct/union with no members (fwd def/ref?)

Tue Jul 31 22:00:40 2012  fox

     746* driver/taskq.c: Fix for centos 5 GPL function issue.

     745* Psymtab.c: Fix for older kernels where AT_BASE auxv vector
          is not defined, so couldnt use 'dtrace -n pidXXX:::' on them.
	  (Centos 5).

     744* dtrace_linux.c: mem_set_writable: Fix (clflush) for centos
          kernel.

Mon Jul 30 08:28:16 2012  fox

     743* Archive: 1.0142

     742* driver/dtrace_linux.c: Fix issue with determining data model of 32b
          proc on 64b kernel.

     741* ctl.c, ctf_struct.h: Build fixes for older kernels.

     740* taskq.c: Add older kernel support.

Sun Jul 29 18:06:43 2012  fox

          a 32b proc on a 64b kernel.

     738* driver/dtrace_linux.c: dtrace_data_model: Implement this
          for 64b systems running 32b binaries.

     737* driver/dtrace_linux.c: Fix issue affecting 32b binaries
          on 32b kernel (fasttrap miscomputing instr sizes).

Sat Jul 28 08:41:53 2012  fox

     736* All drivers: Add ".owner = THIS_MODULE", to protect from
          attempts to unload driver whilst still have open references.

     735* prov_common.c: Add proc:::fault probe.

     734* Psymtab.c: Fix last change; wasnt handling 64b binaries properly.

Fri Jul 27 13:27:25 2012  fox

     733* Archive: 1.0141

     732* libproc/common/Pcontrol.c: Fix for setting the model of
          a spawned process (32 vs 64 bit).

     731* driver/ctl.c: Temp comment out the rcu_read_lock calls.

     730* driver/ctl.c: Avoid direct reference to find_task_by_vpid.

     729* driver/ctl.c: Add permission checking and update comments.

     728* driver/systrace.c: Bug fix for /proc/dtrace/syscall - SIGSEGV
          and confusion on 32b kernel.

     727* libproc/common/Pcontrol.c: Use the /dev/dtrace_ctl driver instead
          of ptrace(). We can now use PID provider on stopped jobs or even
	  procs being debugged in a debugger.

Thu Jul 26 08:33:03 2012  fox

     726* archive: 1.0140

     725* x_call.c: fix the xcalls[][] array. Some draconian measures
          for dtrace_ack_apic() to avoid crashing VirtualBox.

     724* x_call.c: Dynamically allocate xcalls[][] array according
          to CPUs available, not max possible, to reduce memory footprint.

     723* x_call.c: Redo native_apic_write_mem, for maximum portability
          across releases. May not be brilliant if we have machines
	  without APICs (embedded?) but lets worry about them when
	  we find them. Fix #pragma warning.

     722* missing.c, dtrace_linux.c: Rename clflush() and call it
          dtrace_clflush() to avoid kernel version conflicts.

     721* liblinux.c/proc2.c: When getting proc status, handle suspended
          procs.

Wed Jul 25 23:19:13 2012  fox

     720* driver/taskq.c: Dont GPF if on older kernel and cannot find
          __alloc_workqueue_key_ptr. Works on Ubuntu 8 (2.6.28)

     719* driver/x_call.c: Fix up some portability issues. Getting difficult
          to ensure this works on all kernels, so having to be more
	  draconian.

Tue Jul 24 22:45:32 2012  fox

     718* driver/x_call.c: GPL fix for 2.6.28 (Ubuntu 8/32) kernel.

Mon Jul 23 23:32:39 2012  fox

     717* driver/x_call.c: Fix compile issue for 2.6.28 kernel (Ubuntu 8)

Sun Jul 22 17:30:38 2012  fox

     716* Archive: 1.0139

     715* Various: Tidied up some compiler warnings.

     714* taskq.c, taskq.h, dtrace_linux.c, dtrace.c, fasttrap.c, 
          Fix the PID provider. It may not be perfect and needs lots of 
	  testing, but some basic stuff works. Added the taskq_create()
	  and timeout functions to aid in probe garbage collection.

Fri Jul 20 00:15:04 2012  fox

     713* tools/get-deps-fedora.sh: Add in 'make'.

Sat Jul 14 08:32:08 2012  fox

     712* fasttrap_isa.c: FASTTRAP_T_COMMON: Setup addr for the
          trapped instruction. (Previously, we had a TODO() item)

     711* Pcontrol.c: Pread_live: do ptrace(PTRACE_ATTACH)/waitpid to
          read someone elses memory, even if we are root. Seems to
	  make pid provider work *much* better.

     710* driver/systrace.c: Fix typo for ia32_execve.

Wed Jul 11 23:02:16 2012  fox

     709* driver/fasttrap_linux.c: Oops. Forgot to implement the ioctl()
          interface, so PID provider couldnt get off the ground.

     708* tools/load.pl: Make /dev/fasttrap world read/writable (not sure if
          this is safe - but fasttrap will do its own perms checkings).

     707* liblinux/proc2.c: Stupid read() call for /proc/%d/exe wrong way around.

Tue Jul 10 23:28:21 2012  fox

     706* liblinux/gmatch.c: Result of match was reversed. Stopped pid
          provider from kicking in.


Sun Jul  8 16:53:33 2012  fox

     705* driver/tcp.c: Add udp:::send and udp:::receive (crude).

     704* dtrace_linux.c: Fix the pmd hacks.

     703* tcp.c: Add the accept and send/receive probes.

Thu Jul  5 22:42:36 2012  fox

     702* tcp.c: Add tcp::connect-established.

     701* prov_common.c: Add prov_add_callback, so we can start handling
          argument specific callbacks.

Wed Jul  4 16:03:51 2012  fox

     700* systrace.c: Cater for x32 syscalls not being enabled.

Sun Jul  1 16:22:42 2012  fox

     699* driver/dtrace_linux.c: Specialise last fix for 3.2/3.3 kernels.
          3.4 kernels dont have same glitch in the header files.

     698* driver/dtrace_linux.c: Fix for i386 3.2 and above kernels
          in page table manipulation.

Fri Jun 29 07:23:53 2012  fox

     697* tools/load.pl: ALlow insmod to be in /usr/bin

     696* vminfo.c: Fix for 3.4 kernels.

     695* systrace.c: Fix for 3.4 kernels.

Sat Jun  2 22:37:18 2012  fox

     694* README: Update install instructions to run tools/get-deps.pl

Thu May 24 18:57:48 2012  fox

     693* makefile: Dont fail on "make install" if build/linux.ctf not available.

     692* dtrace_linux.c: Make par_alloc/par_free do something - remove the
          stub, because without this, we dont get probes for modules.

     691* x_call.c: Put in a warning if NCPU is too large - can cause
          problems at driver load time (Centos 6.2 has NCPU==4096 which 
          equates to more than 40MB of memory for the xcall array).

Mon Apr  9 16:01:07 2012  fox

     690* driver/sdt_linux.c: Avoid compile errors on 3.3 kernels.

Thu Mar  1 21:52:36 2012  fox

     689* driver/x_call.c: Centos 4.7 change

     688* driver/dtrace.c: Avoid native_read_pmc for now - we dont need it
          anyway.

     687* driver/mutex.c: Put in workaround for Centos 4.7/Ubuntu 10.x

Fri Feb 24 19:21:39 2012  fox

     686* driver/vminfo.c: Use CONFIG_COMPACTION to avoid compile time errors.

Fri Feb 17 23:43:53 2012  fox

     685* driver/x_call.c, driver/dtrace_linux.c: Changes to workaround
          issues with accessing the GPL symbol apic.

Thu Feb 16 21:00:48 2012  fox

     684* x_call.c: Make it GPL compliant.

Sat Feb 11 10:25:20 2012  fox

     683* driver/dtrace_linux.h: Mark as CDDL driver.

     682* driver/prov_common.c: Mark as CDDL.

     681* Archive: 1.0138

     680* libdtrace/dt_cc.c, dt_impl.h, dt_open.c, 
          driver/dtrace.c, uts/common/sys/dtrace.h:
	  Add two experimental actions, so I can play (test1() and test2()).

     679* dtrace_linux.c: par_alloc: Remove temporary stub-out - we werent
          providing fbt module probes.

Mon Feb  6 21:47:58 2012  fox

     678* libdtrace/dt_pid.c: dt_pid_usdt_mapping: Dont call 
          pr_open/pr_ioctl (see comment in the code). This allows
	  us to dtrace against a USDT probe application.

     677* cmd/dtrace/dtrace.c: Add some env var defns to the usage.

Sun Feb  5 10:18:55 2012  fox

     676* driver/intr.c: Fix license.

     675* liblinux/proc2.c: Fix to avoid leaving target USDT proc in
          a stopped state. (We did this due to bugs in libproc handling
	  but we shouldnt even if we are buggy). Not detecting 't'
	  process state properly.

     674* Archive: 1.0137

     673* dtrace_linux.c: Fix clflush issue in <= 2.6.21 kernels

     672* tools/mkport.pl: Possible fix for SMP_CALL_FUNCTION_SINGLE_ARGS for
          2.6.18 kernel.

     671* driver/dtrace.c, driver/fasttrap_linux.c: Rip out all the fasstrap
          helpers when unloading the driver, so we dont panic on a reload
	  if a USDT proc is still running.

Wed Feb  1 20:14:09 2012  fox

     670* x_call.c: Fix for 2.6.24 kernel in cpumask_t

     669* intr.c, tools/mkport.pl: Remove private vmalloc_sync_all if kernel
          supports it.

     668* linux/sys/privregs.h, tools/mkport.pl: Add autodetect of
          BX vs EBX register for i386/2.6.24 type kernels.

     667* driver/cyclic_linux.c: Fix for 2.6.24/debian-4 kernel.

     666* driver/intr.c: Fix commenting error for older kernels.

Tue Jan 31 20:31:24 2012  fox

     665* driver/toxic.c: Allow "page_fault" on earlier kernels.

     664* driver/intr.c: Avoid problems when store_gdt/store_idt are
          not available.

     663* intr.c: Avoid problem when swapper_pg_dir is a #define on older
          kernels.

     662* mkport.pl, dtrace_linux.c: Dont compile against atomic_notifier_chain_register
          if its not available.

Mon Jan 30 20:33:20 2012  fox

     661* Archive: 1.0136

     660* driver/dtrace_linux.c: Move intr_init() so we do it last, so
          we can maximise the effect of ensuring all page tables are in sync.

     659* driver/intr.c: Solution for the big impossible problem. Call
          vmalloc_sync_all if possible, else a half-hearted emulation.
	  (We could just copy vmalloc_sync_all from the kernel but its
	  GPL, so we will think about a better solution based
	  on the kernel one; only a problem for older i386 kernels).

     658* driver/intr-x86-32.S: Ensure we setup %gs for kernels >= 2.6.31.
          Else user space apps die, because %gs can be corrupted when
	  returning back to app.

     657* driver/dtrace.c: Remove workaround for what I thought was a compiler
          bug. Avoid dtrace/memcpy_with_error - this was working around the
	  wrong issue. If the page fault handler works properly, then these
	  two things were bogus.

Wed Jan 25 21:49:03 2012  fox

     656* tools/tty.pl: Fix defunct process leakage.

Wed Jan 11 23:33:51 2012  fox

     655* instr_linux.c: Add -ltr instructions.

Fri Jan  6 22:11:05 2012  fox

     654* instr_linux.c: Add support for detecting rd/wr to GDT and writing
          to CR3 register. (Trying to find where the page table gets set
	  in the kernel to debug the page_fault problem for i386).

Mon Jan  2 23:16:35 2012  fox

     653* driver/instr_linux.c: Add support for SIDT instruction and fix
	  encoding for LIDT.

Sat Dec 31 00:01:52 2011  fox

     652* Archive: 1.0.135

     651* driver/intr.c: Move the interrupt/idt code to its own file.
          During driver init, swap out the old idt, make updates and
	  swap back in the new idt. Avoids funny crashes on driver
	  reload. 

	  Added /proc/dtrace/idt driver to see the IDT table.

     650* Archive: 1.0134

     649* dtrace_linux.c: set_idt_entry: Grab the existing IDT
          entry and just set the new address; dont lose/change the
	  dpl or type of the gate.

     648* printf.c, dtrace_linux.c: Move set_console() to printf.c

     647* makefile: Set LANG=C to avoid UTF-8 output from gcc.

Thu Dec 29 10:23:49 2011  fox

     646* driver/intr_x86-32.S: Kernels >= 2.6.31 save the %GS
          register on the stack, so we need to do this so that pt_regs
	  agrees. This fixes the horror of Ubuntu 11.10/i686 not
	  working properly.

Tue Dec 27 15:42:06 2011  fox

     645* tools/get-deps.pl: Fix for Ubuntu 11.10/i686 - very broken
          default install (missing /usr/include/sys).

     644* linux/sys/elftypes.h: Fix for Ubuntu 11.10/i686.

     643* tests/makefile: Handle 32-bit only system

Sun Dec 25 00:11:37 2011  fox

     642* prov_common.c: Fire for all matching probes, not just the
          first one, so that proc:::create and proc:::start will fire
	  together.

     641* prov_common.c: Add support for 
     	  proc:::create - Fires when a new process is created.
	  proc:::start - Fires when process is created (same as create)
	  proc:::end - Fires on process termination

     640* dtrace/dtrace_subr.c: When looking at the invop handlers, broadcast
          the breakpoint to all invop handlers. This allows two providers
	  to sit on the same instruction.

     639* fasttrap.c: Basic /proc/dtrace/fasttrap support.

Thu Dec 22 14:43:40 2011  fox

     638* driver/intr_x86-32.S/intr_x86-64.S: We werent allowing 
          user breakpoint traps to be detected by USDT. This works
	  again.

     637* Archive: 1.0133

     636* cmd/dtrace/dtrace.c: Add support for -arch [i386|x86_64], similar
          to Apple's dtrace.

     635* usdt/c/makefile: Fix so that build/simple-c can run from anywhere.

     634* libdtrace/dt_link.c: process_obj: For ELF32, write the SHT_REL entry
          back to the appropriate section, not the SHT_RELA section. Seems
	  like a Solaris symmetry bug.

	  We now get USDT probes, but nobody is garbage collection them. Strange....

Wed Dec 21 09:19:53 2011  fox

     633* dtrace.c: Temp remove the module-loaded chain because of fault
          on a reload.

     632* dtrace_linux.c: prfind(): Map pid to pid structure, and then
          lookup.

     631* ctl.c, driver_linux.c: Ensure fn_pid_task is setup, so prfind

          char special device files. Defaults to /proc/dtrace/trace.

          dtrace_state_destroy. Not needed, but something to watch.

     618* x_call.c: Whilst priming the other cpus for action, attempt
          to drawin any pending call against ourselves. Reduce the
	  poll time (ack_wait) a little, to try and gain better performance.

     617* mutex.c: Dont disable interrupts for interrupt level mutexes.
          (And, by implication, we dont need to restore them). Parameterise
	  this change.

          dtraces fighting each other in a death match.

     613* mutex.c: Dont break out of mutex_enter, and dont dump
          stacks, as this can lead to inter-cpu corruption and assertion
	  failure.

     612* dtrace.c: When hitting an assertion/panic issue, avoid
          problems if another panic hits at the same time, to avoid
	  frantic console scrolling (we only allow the message once).

     611* Archive: 1.0130

     610* mutex.c: Dtrace is *NOT* expecting the mutexes to be recursive.
          By disabling recursion, we fix the "dtrace -l & dtrace -l &"
	  issue which would cause deadlock or assertions. We increased
	  the break-out check - we need to turn this off. Under very
	  heavy load (eg two copies of fbt::: running), the mutex
	  might believe somethings broke and panic dtrace, effectively
	  disabling it.

     609* dtrace_subr.c: Dump out the hdlr chain so we can diagnose
          if fbt is not at the front of the list.

Sat Dec  3 08:56:10 2011  fox

     608* dtrace_linux.c, fbt_linux.c: Arrange for fbt to be first in the
          invop chain (optimisation).

     607* x_call.c: Remove the per-interrupt xcall state. I think it was
          potentially wrong, as we were using our interrupt state instead
	  of the other cpu state. I am not sure it matters, because
	  we try to call xslave2 during fast-teardown to empty any
	  pending buffers, so the amount of contention should be reduced.

     606* instr_linux.c: Small parsing optimisation and opcode name fix
          for repnz.

     605* instr_linux.c: Add ud2 instructions to the INSTR provider. Would allow us to
          take a probe when a BUG_ON is hit in the kernel. (The
	  kernel will kill the calling process anyhow and dump a stack,
	  but at least we could do something useful if we were interested).

     604* prov_common.c: We were incorrectly assuming the file/line info
          for the BUG_ON/ud2 instruction followed the instruction. This
	  caused random disassembly failure leading to problems when that
	  code was executed. (FC16 flush_exec_old function would kill
	  new processes).
	  Avoid print mangling when debug enabled for tracing disassembler.

     601* cyclic_linux.c: Avoid race conditions during timer closedown.
          We might have the timer active whilst trying to kill it, and
	  corrupt memory leading to a panic later on.

     600* dtrace_linux.c: Search fbt probes before instr, since we are likely
          to hit them first. (Minor optimisation).

Mon Nov 28 22:18:05 2011  fox

     598* dtrace_linux.c: dtrace_printf/printk: Avoid calling vprintk,
          since we can get a recursion deadlock if we try and probe
	  fbt::form*:. Now we are detached from the kernel.

     597* dtrace_linux.c: dtrace_printf: Avoid deadlock if we interrupt
          our own cpu doing a printf.

Sun Nov 27 17:36:18 2011  fox

     596* dtrace.c, dtrace_linux.c: Add simple lock around dtrace_printf,
          so we dont get interleaved output. Add "stack" command to
	  /proc/dtrace/trace. Modify the fast-teardown to try and stop at
	  a red light, the other cpus. We use the original mechanism but
	  we try to prevent the flood of probes during teardown. 
	  Appox 20m probes could happen when fbt::: with 50,000+ probes
	  are enabled. This reduces it to may 1m. See /proc/dtrace/trace
	  for the results.

	  run from IRQ context/tasklet context.

	  Revert mutex.c to use pure semaphores, not hand crafted
	  mutexes. If the kernel is doing lock checking, it will
	  tell us if we might block in an interrupt routine, which is
	  bad. (So, why did I do mutex.c at all? Probably got confused
	  by some other issues).

	  linux_types.h: Wrap the semaphores with the dmutex call
	  wrappers. Dont really need this.

	  Anyway, I still kept some of the lock-tightening code which
	  was possibly upsetting the kernels.

	  some of these functions are only called during load time.
	  We'll defer proper libc cleanup til a later date.

	  deadlocks or kernel warnings. We have a deadman timeout to
	  avoid real deadlocks. (We occasionally see the impossible in a 
	  VM where timers dont fire or fire too late; I think we handle
	  this ok). dtrace_xcalls are not that frequent, so it should have
	  minimal performance decrease.

          These changes fixed an issue where a fbt::do_sync_read:return
	  would never fire, because the SDT provider was stealing the probe
	  despite it not having been enabled.

     366* sdt_implh, sdt_linux.c: Mark a probe as enabled or not so
          we avoid aliasing issues if fbt is probing the same instruction.

     364* cpu_x86.c: Add a NOP instruction after the instruction we are
          going to single step, since some instructions may execute
	  that even if the single-step trap flag is set. E.g.
	  "MOV %CR3,%EAX".

Mon Jul 26 15:38:00 2010  fox

     363* uncompress.c, mkport.pl: Allow us to not have zlib functions in 
          kernel. Dtrace mostly works without this, but may affect the

	  We have problems getting a stack on syscall::: provider.

Tue Jun 23 23:52:03 2009  fox

          dont need it, and on a 32b kernel, reloading dtrace lots
	  of times can crash the kernel.

Sun Jun 14 09:58:36 2009  fox

     306* Archive: 1.0093

     305* dtrace_linux.c: We need to preallocate and change the
          process shadowing code, so that when we use predicates such
	  as

	  dtrace -n 'syscall::: /pid == NNN/ {}'

	  that we can actually intercept the targetted process and not
	  confuse dtrace_probe when we share the shadow structure.

     304* Various: change dprintf() to be dprintf1() because GLIBC
          likes to break working apps and defines a POSIX dprintf().
	  POSIX like to break working apps too, and should be ashamed
	  of themselves.

     303* systrace.c, dtrace_linux.c: Make the pt_regs available to 
          dtrace_probe() so we can access register specific state.
	  Handle nesting of interrupts (so we dont destroy the
	  pt_regs pointer in the event of an interrupt on a syscall).

     302* dtrace.c, dtrace_linux.c: Add 'ipl' probe function support.

Fri Jun 12 19:51:37 2009  fox

     301* dtrace_linux.c: Avoid proc shadowing - dont think we need
          this and can do it with per-cpu allocation instead.
	  (par_setup_thread1).

     300* cpu_x86.c: Fixed the issue with CALLR and the other call
          instructions which manipulate the stack as we step over them.
	  32 and 64 bit kernels should be safe - til we hit another
	  instruction we have never seen before.

          opensolaris-20090607.

     292* fbt_linux.c: Added /proc/dtrace/fbt so we can get info about
          probes. This is CPU intensive and O(N^2) in performance, so treat
	  with care. This is to help debug or add perf stats.

Thu Jun  4 22:08:45 2009  fox

     291* strings.h: Dont undef __USE_BSD. Dont know why Sun insist on using
          the legacy strings.h and not ISO string.h. Oh well.

Sun May 31 10:39:20 2009  fox

     290* dtrace_linux.c, intr_x86*.S: Add support for INT13 (GPF), so
          we can disable ourselves when we run into issues.

     289* toxic.c: Add system_call: This is a very special kernel
          entry point and if we probe it, we may get a kernel double-fault
	  because the stack wont be ready for kernel space.

Fri May 29 19:50:52 2009  fox

     285* fbt_linux.c, dtrace_linux.c: Enable more 32-bit instructions
          for :entry traces. Not all have been validated yet, but
	  the code has been left in a safe state.

     284* dtrace_linux.c: Dont do RIP addressing mode for 32-bit cpu.

Sat May 23 19:18:09 2009  fox

     283* intr_x86-32.S, intr_x86-64.S: Add a dummy mcount function
          in case kernel is compiled with -pg. We mustnt call into
	  the kernels mcount else we hit a recursion error.

     282* fbt_linux.c: Re-enable more x86-64 opcodes which were disabled
          whilst debugging the interrupt handlers.

     281* fbt_linux.c, dtrace_linux.c, cpuvar.h: Compute modrm byte
          during analysis phase, not during an interrupt, to lower overhead
	  of RIP addressing mode handler.

	  (patch_enable).

Wed May 20 21:55:34 2009  fox

     278* dtrace_linux.c: Move /dev/dtrace into /proc/dtrace and segregate
          the debug streams into separate entries (debug, security, stats, trace).
	  This is easier to handle >4K reads for the trace buffer.

Sun May 17 20:51:17 2009  fox

     277* intr_x86-64.S: Allow us to probe an IRET instruction.

Sat May 16 22:19:52 2009  fox

     276* dtrace_linux.c: Add support for RIP relative addressing mode
          single step.

     275* dtrace_linux.c: Add dtrace_memcpy to avoid reentrancy issues when
          we probe memcpy(). This happens because we use this inside our
	  single step handler.

     274* fasttrap.c: Avoid kernel panic when invoking a USDT since
          we are tuned to the number of cpus, not the max of cpus we
	  could have.

Fri May 15 21:56:07 2009  fox

     272* tools/load.pl, makefile: Load /etc/dtrace.conf into the kernel 
          if present. SUDO when appropriate because now we need to be 
	  root to talk to the kernel.

	  Please edit /etc/dtrace.conf - it contains my uid in there which
	  isnt appropriate for your system, but change according to taste.

     271* dtrace.c, dtrace_linux.c: Fix security policy issues.

Thu May 14 21:30:46 2009  fox

     	  Ubuntu 8.10 / 2.6.27.8 kernel probes. We can allow them all 
	  through but just taking it slowly.

     265* dtrace_linux.c: par_alloc: We had some static initialisation
          in here which was breaking predicates for processes.
	  The process shadowing was broken - we kept cleaning out
	  the predicate hints. Now, when doing

	  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null

	  dtrace -n 'syscall::read: /pid == 7331/ {printf("pid=%d", pid);}'

	  we get consistent read:entry + read:return pairs, and we
	  dont just stop probe collecting.

	  Thanks to <mauritz.sundell@viem.se> for pointing out this
	  obvious silliness on my behalf.

     264* dtrace_linux.c, fbt_linux.c, sdt_linux.c: If we have a recursive
          probe, then when we disable the probe, dont let it fire !
	  Else we get multiple recursions leading to a cpu triple fault.

	  This seems to fix the 32-bit instability issue, and let me see

     207* dtrace_linux.c: Undo last change - it wasnt what the problem was.
          Problem is that an SMP kernel may say we have 64 cpus, when we
	  only have 1 or 2, so buffer allocation went thru the roof -- 
	  64 * 4MB of RAM, and we OOM'ed. Now we utilise number of online
	  cpus at driver load time. (We need to do work if we online
	  cpus whilst system is up, since the arrays will be too small).

     206* dtrace.c: Do some rough memory calcs when allocating the state 
          buffers to avoid starvation on 512MB systems.

     205* ctl.c: Fix to compile on 2.6.18.

     204* dtrace_linux.c: Fix PTE modifications for x86-64 which uses

     192* fbt_linux.c: Dont include functions from the .exit section

          detect if a target probe point is on one of our notifier
	  chains, and will cause kernel mayhem if we probe it.

Sat Mar  7 09:02:09 2009  fox

     190* missing.c: Add strlen(), and strncmp() for older kernels/gcc's.

     189* fbt_linux.c: When examining module symbols, ignore any in
          the ".init" sections, else we can be trying to touch reclaimed
	  pages.

     188* fbt_linux.c: Dont allow us to create probes for module "init"
          functions which are likely sitting in unmapped pages. This
	  caused problems in dtrace_close() as we tried to unpatch them,
	  but they may not be mapped or contain data since the pages would
	  have been freed.

     187* tools/load.pl, dtrace_linux.c: Add a -mem_alloc option
          to turn on memory tracing. (Its too voluminous if enabled
	  with -here).

     186* fbt_linux.c:fbt_disable: Dont unpatch a probe we never

	  a .init section).

	  clock.

     177* Archive: 1.0068

     176* systrace.c, fbt_linux.c, dtrace_linux.c: For fbt probes,

	  at this time (wait for next update?) since you can trace
	  anything - including the bits of the kernel dtrace depends on.

      94* drivers/dtrace/dtrace_isa.c: Fix to handle kernel 2.6.26 and
          above.
          (ppluzhnikov@google.com).

      93* drivers/dtrace/dtrace.c: Fix dtrace_errlock bad mutex defn.
          (ppluzhnikov@google.com).

Wed Dec  3 23:16:40 2008  fox

      92* Archive: 1.0046

      91* drivers/dtrace/ctl.c: We now have a /proc/$$/ctl driver visible.
          It doesnt do anything yet, but we have now patched a running
	  kernel.

Wed Nov 12 22:10:51 2008  fox

      90* usdt/*/makefile: Use our compiled dtrace, rather than anything in
          the environment.

Sun Oct 26 16:54:54 2008  fox

      89* dtrace_linux.c: Enable /dev/sdt

Sat Oct 25 10:18:22 2008  fox

      88* fasttrap.c: Can now run a USDT enabled app, but not showing up
          on 'dtrace -l'. No longer hangs/crashes the kernel.

Sun Oct 19 09:58:28 2008  fox

      87* dt_link.c: Now generates correct binary, but drti.o isnt
          correct yet.

      86* Archive: 1.0045

Sun Oct 12 09:47:14 2008  fox

      85* drti.c: Allow us to specify $DTRACE_DRTI_O so we can find
          the drti.o object file;

	  linux_types.h: Fix include issues for dlfcn.h.

	  dtrace_linux.c: Now invoke the dtrace_ioctl_helper function.

Sat Oct 11 10:00:48 2008  fox

      84* drivers/dtrace.c, dtrace_linux.c: Start to enable the 
          /dev/dtrace_helper driver, needed for USDT.

Thu Oct  9 22:36:16 2008  fox

      83* linux_types.h: Add _LITTLE_ENDIAN definition, else dt_link.c
          generates bad ELF .o files.

Wed Oct  8 22:38:54 2008  fox

      82* libdtrace/dt_link.c: Some changes to allow dtrace -G to work.
          Not there yet.

      81* usdt/ New directory to create a simple USDT so we can
          get things sorted.

Sat Aug  2 11:58:07 2008  fox

      80* Archive: 1.0042

      79* dt_module.c: Fixes for 64b kernels - we can now see kernel stack
          traces.

Tue Jul 29 21:27:11 2008  fox

      78* makefile: Build libelf/Gelf structures properly for 32b machines.

Sun Jul 27 08:56:23 2008  fox

      77* dtrace_isa.c: Add in support for getstack to handle stack()
          calls. Not brilliant with -fomit-frame-pointer in the kernel,
	  but that will teach people to use this option :-(

      76* dt_module.c: Add support for reading /proc/kallsyms so we
          can get kernel level stack traces.

Thu Jul 24 08:54:01 2008  fox

      75* dtrace.c: dtrace_probe: Fix issue with 32-bit arguments
          not being sign extended when stored in return struct. Without
	  this, arg0 is never < 0 for failed syscalls.

      74* load.pl: rewrite load shell script as perl as we want to do some
          extra things for some kernels.

      73* fbt_linux.c: Add support for i386/modules[] on 2.6.23.1

Wed Jul 23 07:32:30 2008  fox

      72* fbt_linux.c: Implement work around for 2.6.23.1 kernel
          without public sys_call_table.

      71* dtrace_linux.c: par_alloc should memset the memory
          to zero to avoid firing a signal when it wasnt asked for.

      70* systrace.c, dtrace.c: Implement support for raise/stop actions
          which can send a signal to a process.

      69* load: Detect missing symbols and try to warn user something
          may fail.

Wed Jul 16 22:55:01 2008  fox

      68* systrace.c: Avoid bogus syscalls which can index
          off the end of the array. Likely due to bad stack reference.
	  Avoids SIGKILL near kernel panic when it happens.
	  Trying to bootstrap ustack() call which involves 
	  examining to the proc in user space to grab the symbol
	  table. Race condition (which is catered for) -- the proc
	  may no longer exist by the time dtrace is running.

Sun Jul 13 10:53:44 2008  fox

      67* Archive: 1.0037

      66* Pisadep.c: Got rid of most of our stubs and use proper libproc
          code. This code wont work since its depending on Solaris /procfs
	  but we can start to work our way through this.

Sat Jul 12 10:59:36 2008  fox

      65* Archive: 1.0039

      64* libproc: Upgrade complete.

      63* libproc: Start upgrade to Solaris 20080623, since we cannot
          call ustack() without starting to emulate /procfs on Solaris.

      62* dtrace_isa.c: Fix issue with coying to/from user space.
          arg0/arg1/... now works.

Sun Jul  6 10:29:42 2008  fox

      61* Archive: 1.0035

      60* fasttrap_isa.c: Merged/compiled in - we have some TODOxxx items
          to fix before we can use this.

      59* fasttrap.c: Now compiles, but need to implement timeout()
          function. Next, get fasttrap_isa.c to compile.

Sat Jul  5 14:53:52 2008  fox

      58* dtrace.c, dtrace_linux.c: Implement a parallel shadow to curthread
          so we dont die when doing thread local variables (dt9 test).
	  We now need a garbage collector - otherwise we may leak memory,
	  or have an issue when a new thread comes along on the same address.

	  dt9: demo/vars/rtime.d no longer panics the kernel.

Fri Jul  4 20:35:34 2008  fox

      57* dt_lex.l: Another attempt at fixing the lexing issues with
          flex.

      56* dtrace.c, fasttrap.c: Upgrade to latest ON Solaris release
          20080623.

Thu Jul  3 23:16:19 2008  fox

      55* Move cmd/dtrace/demo to toplevel dir so its more accessible.
          Create tools/runtests.sh so we can start proving the quality
	  of the yacc/lex port.

      54* Archive: 1.0032

      53* profile.c: Now shows up in dtrace -l; allow us to talk to
          /dev/dtrace_profile driver to change max profile probes.

Wed Jul  2 20:46:02 2008  fox

      52* profile.c: Add missing profile driver. Not yet proven and the
          omni support is missing...

      51* utils/libgcc.pl: Script to locate your libgcc.a file rather than
          me supply one.

      50* Mojmir Svoboda: Fix for raw_local_irq_disable() /
          raw_local_irq_enable() to be more backward kernel compliant.
	  Mojmir suggests issues with kmem_cache_create - I think kernel
	  code changed function calling so need to incorporate a kernel
	  specific fix.

Tue Jul  1 21:53:15 2008  fox

      49* dt_lex.l: Lets hope this works because I am mightily sick
         of flex - getting it to work on all platforms. Its an
	 embarrassment.

      48* Archive: 1.0031

      47* put dtrace binary in build/ directory.

      46* dt_lex.l, makefile, dt_impl.h: Get lex to build us properly so
          we can parse the scripts.

Mon Jun 30 20:50:07 2008  fox

      45* cyclic_linux.c: Enable linux cyclic timer code.

Sun Jun 29 11:50:58 2008  fox

      44* Archive: 1.0030

      43* dtrace_linux.c: syscall tracing finally working on 32-bit kernel.

      42* Archive: 1.0029

      41* liblinux/proc2.c: Fix gethrtime and pthread_cond_reltimedwait_np()
          to avoid dtrace eating lots of cpu and filling /var/log/messages.

Thu Jun 26 22:51:51 2008  fox

      40* i386 kernel sys_call_table patching now works, just need to get the
          syscall collector to work.

Mon Jun 23 23:13:08 2008  fox

      39* divmod64.c: Fix the 64-bit divide issue.

Wed Jun 18 23:19:11 2008  fox

      38* Archive: 1.0027

      37* More 32-bit portability changes.

Tue Jun 17 23:02:33 2008  fox

      36* Various: changes to build 32-bit dtrace + driver

Mon Jun 16 22:57:02 2008  fox

      35* cyclic.c: Need the full whack from Solaris. Without this, the
          D Engine will kill us after a while because it thinks we are hanging
	  and may endanger the system stability.

	  We could just write our own, but its doing a lot of complex
	  and well thought out issues to do with accuracy and 
	  cpu alignment, and its not worth hacking this. FreeBSD has
	  its own (slightly simplified) version of the Solaris code.

Sun Jun 15 09:39:19 2008  fox

      34* dtrace_linux.c, fbt_linux.c: Add a (slow/horrid) parallel 
          allocator. Avoids reprobing modules.

      33* Archive: 1.0026

      32* syscall tracing now working !

Sat Jun 14 00:20:36 2008  fox

      31* Archive: 1.0025

      30* dtrace.c: Fix kernel panic when creating an ecb event.
          dt4 now works for BEGIN/END functionality but syscalls not
	  being triggered.

Mon Jun  9 22:05:12 2008  fox

      29* Archive: 1.0024

      28* fbt_linux.c, dtrace_linux.c: Implement a validate_ptr() function
          since we were dying due to bad VM inside the kernel.

Mon Jun  2 21:42:23 2008  fox

      27* fbt_linux.c: Avoid issue with call to __symbol_get() cause
          incremented mod ref count, which stops us unloading.

Sun Jun  1 00:17:23 2008  fox

      26* Archive: 1.0021

Thu May 29 23:07:39 2008  fox

      25* dtrace_linux.c: Create the cpu_list[] structure which dtrace wants.
          Avoids kernel panic when we hit DTRACEIOC_GO.

      24* drivers/dtrace/dtrace.c: More merge-in from ON solaris.

      23* Archive: 1.0020

Wed May 28 22:31:37 2008  fox

      22* drivers/dtrace/dtrace_ioctl.c: Remove this - integrate back in
          with dtrace.c since we are now more aligned and nearly working.

Mon May 26 14:31:54 2008  fox

      21* drivers/dtrace/*: Fix issue where 'dtrace -l' would keep
          adding the same probes. Needed to mimic the init/attach/open
	  cycle of a proper solaris driver. Fixed various crashes due
	  to this, and allows driver to unload properly - no issues in simple
	  testing, but basic probe placement is not working yet - cannot 
	  plant the probes. Not sure why..yet.

Sun May 25 00:35:12 2008  fox

      20* drivers/dtrace.c: Update to latest opensolaris code to help
          find bugs in driver.

      19* Archive: 1.0018

Tue May 20 23:50:24 2008  fox

      18* cmd/dtrace/dtrace.c: Incorporate getopt() fixes from Apple/Darwin.
          Fixes 'dtrace -n BEGIN', but note this will presently crash your
	  kernel if you run it !

Tue May 13 21:56:09 2008  fox

      17* cmd/dtrace/dtrace.c: Fix issue with getopt() not working when
          presented with this command line:

	  cmd/dtrace/dtrace cmd/dtrace/demo/agg/denorm.d /bin/ls

      16* Update the cmd/dtrace demo to the latest version. They broke
          backwards compatibility ! Why ?! The #pragma changed syntax.
	  Thats very very naughty of them. I do hate lex+flex.

Sun May 11 20:54:47 2008  fox

      15* Update libdtrace to latest opensolaris version.
          Update cmd/dtrace/dtrace.c to latest verison.

Mon May  5 09:48:18 2008  fox

      14* /dev/ctf driver now loads but theres lots of inter-driver
          dependencies which are a pain to manage, so may try
	  and create a consolidated driver.

      13* Archive: 1.0010

Mon Apr 28 20:36:54 2008  fox

      12* Archive: 1.0008

      11* Fix dt_lex.l and dt_grammar.y compile fixed so we dont copy
          files from my install tree to the remote install tree.
	  Fixes problem with dtrace plainly not working at all.

      10* dt_grammar.y: Some minor tweaks to handle compiling with
          bison. Sun have an error in their file (missing ';').

Sun Apr 27 00:03:52 2008  fox

       9* Archive: 1.0007

       8* Archive: 1.0006

       7* Put all binaries into the build/ dir rather than littering the
          source. Not done for drivers yet, since Linux kernel build
	  pollutes us. Also made code do a clean build from start to finish.
	  Ignore warnings - will address these over the course of time.

       6* Archive: 1.0005

       5* Various changes for clean build on FC8/2.6.24.4 kernel. Slightly
          broken Ubuntu...to fix next. First part of the driver works, and
	  making some changes to allow cmd/dtrace to talk to the driver.

Mon Apr 21 22:10:40 2008  fox

       4* Surprise: my first kernel panic. /dev/dtrace is the interface
          and if you cat it ... surprise !

Sun Apr 20 20:51:52 2008  fox

       3* Now builds under ubuntu 2.6.22-14-generic kernel and
          RedHat FC* 2.6.24.4-64.fc8. More portability.

	  If you load the driver, you will have 

	  /proc/dtrace/helper
	  /proc/dtrace/dtrace

	  entries. (Non functional since no plumbing at present).

Sat Apr 19 23:08:09 2008  fox

       2* drivers/dtracedrv.ko finally links correctly. However theres still
          quite a few stubs and broken definitions, so be careful - will
	  likely crash your kernel.

Wed Apr  9 21:56:09 2008  fox

       1* dt_lex.l: Fix flex/lex issues - now parses strings properly and
           dtrace -x nolibs -n BEGIN -e -S
	   seems to work - or at least it doesnt core dump or generate
	   a diagnostic.
