Description

sudo lttng-sessiond -d
lttng create mysession
lttng enable-event --kernel kmem_kfree --probe sys_open+0xE
lttng enable-event --kernel kmem_kfree
lttng start
sleep 0.1
lttng stop
lttng view

Only the probe is considered when tracing. The metadata only shows the probe event.

This is a kernel tracer side problem (name as event key). A solution could be to prefix certain type of event on enable thus creating namespace e.g: probe_kmem_kfree.

  • Project changed from LTTng to LTTng-modules
  • Target version changed from 2.8 to 2.9

Assigning to LTTng-modules as per the bug description. I have not checked if this is an lttng-modules or lttng-tools limitation (using only the name as the key vs. a tuple of type+name+...).

I also faced that issue with the following commands with --function event type:

lttng enable-event -k --function=sys_open sched_switch
lttng enable-event -k --probe=sys_read sched_switch
lttng enable-event -k sched_switch
