There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In sys/types.h
|
|
.In sys/uio.h
|
|
.In sys/ktrace.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|

|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn fktrace "int fd" "int ops" "int trpoints" "pid_t pid"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ktrace
|
|
function enables or disables tracing of one or more processes.
|
|
Users may only trace their own processes.
|
|
Only the super-user can trace setuid or setgid programs.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar tracefile
|
|
gives the pathname of the file to be used for tracing.
|
|
The file must exist and be writable by the calling process.
|
|
All trace records are always appended to the file,
|
|
so the file must be truncated to zero length to discard
|
|
previous trace data.
|
|
If tracing points are being disabled (see KTROP_CLEAR below),
|
|
.Ar tracefile
|
|
may be NULL.
|
|
If using
|
|
.Fn fktrace
|
|
then instead of passing a filename as
|
|
.Ar tracefile ,
|
|
a file descriptor is passed as
|
|
.Ar fd
|
|
and behaviour is otherwise the same.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ops
|
|
parameter specifies the requested ktrace operation.
|
|
The defined operations are:
|
|
.Bl -column KTRFLAG_DESCENDXXX -offset indent
|
|
.It KTROP_SET Enable trace points specified in Ar trpoints .
|
|
.It KTROP_CLEAR Disable trace points specified in Ar trpoints .
|
|
.It KTROP_CLEARFILE Stop all tracing.
|
|
.It KTRFLAG_DESCEND The tracing change should apply to the
|
|
specified process and all its current children.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm trpoints
|
|
parameter specifies the trace points of interest.
|
|
The defined trace points are:
|
|
.Bl -column KTRFAC_SYSCALLXXX -offset indent
|
|
.It KTRFAC_SYSCALL Trace system calls.
|
|
.It KTRFAC_SYSRET Trace return values from system calls.
|
|
.It KTRFAC_NAMEI Trace name lookup operations.
|
|
.It KTRFAC_GENIO Trace all I/O (note that this option can
|
|
generate much output).
|
|
.It KTRFAC_PSIG Trace posted signals.
|
|
.It KTRFAC_CSW Trace context switch points.
|
|
.It KTRFAC_EMUL Trace emulation changes.
|
|
.It KTRFAC_INHERIT Inherit tracing to future children.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each tracing event outputs a record composed of a generic header
|
|
followed by a trace point specific structure.
|
|
The generic header is:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
struct ktr_header {
|
|
int ktr_len; /* length of buf */
|
|
short ktr_type; /* trace record type */
|
|
pid_t ktr_pid; /* process id */
|
|
char ktr_comm[MAXCOMLEN+1]; /* command name */
|
|
struct timeval ktr_time; /* timestamp */
|
|
caddr_t ktr_buf;
|
|
};
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ktr_len
|
|
field specifies the length of the
|
|
.Nm ktr_type
|
|
data that follows this header.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ktr_pid
|
|
and
|
|
.Nm ktr_comm
|
|
fields specify the process and command generating the record.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ktr_time
|
|
field gives the time (with microsecond resolution)
|
|
that the record was generated.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm ktr_buf
|
|
is an internal kernel pointer and is not useful.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The generic header is followed by
|
|
.Nm ktr_len
|
|
bytes of a
|
|
.Nm ktr_type
|
|
record.
|
|
The type specific records are defined in the
|
|
.Pa \*[Lt]sys/ktrace.h\*[Gt]
|
|
include file.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
On successful completion a value of 0 is returned.
|
|
Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to show the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
