Hmm, couldn't we just use $args ? That would be different from $arg1, $arg2, etc. The $$ to me would be either the bash pid of current, or perhaps it would be just to use a dollar sign. I don't see the precedence of $$args being a "full expand". -- Steve
will be expanded to the all arguments of the function and the tracepoint using BTF function argument information. e.g. # echo 'p vfs_read $$args' >> dynamic_events # echo 'f vfs_write $$args' >> dynamic_events # echo 't sched_overutilized_tp $$args' >> dynamic_events # cat dynamic_events p:kprobes/p_vfs_read_0 vfs_read file=file buf=buf count=count pos=pos f:fprobes/vfs_write__entry vfs_write file=file buf=buf count=count pos=pos t:tracepoints/sched_overutilized_tp sched_overutilized_tp rd=rd overutilized=overutilized Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu (Google) <mhiramat@kernel.org> ---
