From df0faf4be02996135bc3a06b4f34360449c78084 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:17:00 -0400 Subject: perf probe: Use the last field name as the argument name Set the last field name to the argument name when the argument is refering a data-structure member. e.g. ./perf probe --add 'vfs_read file->f_mode' Add new event: probe:vfs_read (on vfs_read with f_mode=file->f_mode) This probe records file->f_mode, but the argument name becomes "f_mode". This enables perf-trace command to parse trace event format correctly.
