[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.

regards,
Stanley Huang
 

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

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/
{
}
----------------------------------------

  0  -> f1

  0      <- f2                               
  0    <- f3

[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!
