[Level 3] Solaris 10 Technical Conference ( 2009/10/25,11/13,12/4 ) -- Advanced DTrace hands-on lab

The following is my lab file, please refer to it. 

Wish this helps.

****************************************************************************************************

The purpose of this lab is to let you have advanced DTrace skill. And then you will have the following capabilities.
Lab 1:
* well known about D-script.
Lab 2:
* use DTrace to debug your own program.

Lab 1:
1. D-script arguments.
# cd /temp;
# cat ./testArgs.d;
------------------------------------
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -qs
/*
 * $ is for digital argument,
 * $$ is for quated string argument.
 */
BEGIN {
  printf("args1=%d\n",$1);
  printf("args2=%s\n",$$2);
}
------------------------------------

# chmod u+x ./testArgs.d;
# ./testArgs.d 1 "a";
-------
args1=1
args2=a
-------
^C

2. D-script control
# cd /temp;
# cat ./0-60.d;
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -qs
dtrace:::BEGIN
{
        msecond = 0;
        speed = 0;
}
profile:::tick-1msec
/speed < 60/
{
        speed = 10 *msecond/1000;
        msecond++;
}
profile:::tick-1msec
/speed>=60/
{
        printf("0 to %d m/s in %d milli seconds\n", speed, msecond-1);
        exit(0);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------

# chmod u+x ./0-60.d
# ./0-60.d
---------------------------------
0 to 60 m/s in 6000 milli seconds
---------------------------------

3. aggregation funcion.
aggregation function format:
@name[keys] = aggfunc(args);
'@'  -- notice that "name" is a aggregation set.
keys -- index

aggregation function has:
sum(expr)              -- summary
count()                -- count
avg(expr)              -- average
min(expr)/max(expr)    -- minimus/maxima
quantize()/lquantize() -- quantize/linear quantize

# cd /temp
# cat ./aggr1.d
------------------------------
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
sysinfo:::pswitch
{
  @[execname] = count();
}
------------------------------

# chmod u+x ./aggr1.d
# ./aggr1.d
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Lab 2:
1. create new C program (myProg.c).
# cd /temp
# cat ./myProg.c
----------------------------------------
#include
int f1(int n) {
  int r=f3(n*2);
  return r;
}
int f2(int n) {
  int r=n+3;
  return r;
}
int f3(int n) {
  int r=f2(n*5);
  return r;
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  int r=f1(1);
  printf("%d\n",r); // f1 call f2, f2 call f3 => (1*2+3)*5=15
}
----------------------------------------
# gcc -o ./myProg ./myProg.c
# ./myProg
----------------------------------------
13 ## not 15
----------------------------------------

2. debug your program
# cat ./myProg.d
----------------------------------------
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
pid$1:myProg:$$2:entry
{
  self->trace=1;
}
pid$1:myProg:$$2:return
{
  self->trace=0;
}
pid$1:myProg::entry,
pid$1:myProg::return
/self->trace/
{
}
----------------------------------------

[termianl 1]# mdb ./myProg
[terminal 1]> _start:b
[terminal 1]> :r
mdb: stop at _start
mdb: target stopped at:
_start:         pushl  $0x0
[terminal 1]> !ps
  PID TTY         TIME CMD
 1959 pts/4       0:00 mdb
 1961 pts/4       0:00 ps
 1662 pts/4       0:00 bash
 1960 pts/4       0:00 myProg
[terminal 2]# dtrace -F -s ./myProg.d 1960 f1
dtrace: script './myProg.d' matched 26 probes

[terminal 1]> :c
13
mdb: target has terminated
[terminal 1]> $q

[terminal 1]#
[terminal 2]
CPU FUNCTION                                
  0  -> f1                                   
  0    -> f3                                 
  0      -> f2                               
  0      <- f2                               
  0    <- f3                                 
[terminal 2]
^C
[terminal 2]#

3. result::
The program (myProg) main call f1, but f1 call f3, not call f2
so wrong function called in f1, modify the program...done!

[Level 1] Rar tool for Solaris.

Sometimes we will got a rar compressed file from our friends, but there is no default tool in OpenSolaris to decompress the rar filess. We can got a Solaris Intel version from rarlab . The steps as the following: 1. down load the rar tools from rarlab. http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm 2. uncompressed the source. # gunzip ./unrar-sol-intel.gz 3. move it to the location you used to. # mv /unrar-sol-intel.gz /usr/bin/unrar 4. try to decomprss # unrar x ./test.rar Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang

[Level 2] iif in Python

If you want to implement iif in Python, please refer to the following sample code: #!/bin/env python def iif(b): return 'It\'s True' if b else 'It\'s False' print iif(True) print iif(False) And the following sample, guess what will you get! #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' Result: $ ./iif.py b: Ture False The second result is "False", not "b: False". Why??? Because the prededence of string concatenation is higher than if. Therefore you need to use () to make it correct. #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % ('Ture' if b else 'False') Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang
