See Documentation/trace/histogram.rst for details and examples.
+- objtrace
+
+ This command provides a way to get the value of any object, The object
+ can from the dynamic event(kprobe_event/uprobe_event) or the static event
+ (tracepoint).
+
+ Usage:
+ When using the kprobe event, only need to set the objtrace(a new trigger),
+ we can get the value of the object. The object is from the setting of the
+ kprobe event.
+
+ For example:
+ For the function bio_add_page():
+
+ int bio_add_page(struct bio *bio, struct page *page,
+ unsigned int len, unsigned int offset)
+
+ Firstly, we can set the base of the object, thus the first string "arg1"
+ stands for the value of the first parameter of this function bio_add_gage(),
+
+ echo 'p bio_add_page arg1=$arg1' >> ./kprobe_events
+
+ Secondly, we can get the value dynamically base the above object.
+
+ find the offset of the bi_size in struct bio:
+ $ gdb vmlinux
+ (gdb) p &(((struct bio *)0)->bi_iter.bi_size)
+ $1 = (unsigned int *) 0x28
+
+ echo 'objtrace:0x28(arg1):u32:1 if comm == "cat"' > ./events/kprobes/ \
+ p_bio_add_page_0/trigger
+
+ The best way to use this is that we can set the entrance event and exit
+ event, for example, the following example is to set the read_papes as
+ the entrance event, and set the blk_account_io_start as the exit event.
+
+ dd if=/dev/zero of=/test.txt bs=4k count=3
+ cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/
+ echo 0 > ./tracing_on
+ echo 'p read_pages' >> ./kprobe_events
+ echo 'p blk_account_io_start' >> ./kprobe_events
+ echo 'traceon if comm == "cat"' > ./events/kprobes/p_read_pages_0/trigger
+ echo 'traceoff if comm == "cat"' > ./events/kprobes/p_blk_account_io_start_0/trigger
+ echo 'p bio_add_page arg1=$arg1' >> ./kprobe_events
+ echo 'objtrace:0x28(arg1):u32:1 if comm == "cat"' > ./events/kprobes/p_bio_add_page_0/trigger
+ cat /test.txt > /dev/null
