Hi -
The git repo now contains a copy of my pr4225 working branch. It has
made some progress recently. On a kernel with working utrace+uprobes
(which at the moment is only rhel5 I believe), probes like this kind
of work, if you have the debugging information installed:
probe process("/bin/ls").function("*") { log(probefunc()) }
It's very raw, so think of it only as a new way of testing the uprobes
module. I'm working on fixing a (diagnosable, user-context-level)
hang for processes that fork, so don't probe forky shells yet!
There are also some temporary functional regressions
(symbol-table-only probing and some other minor stuff) that I believe
also need fixing before merging this into mainline.
